Podcasts about Kids Helpline

David Wells was the Victoria Police Surgeon during one of Australia’s most disturbing unsolved crime sprees - the abductions and assaults of three young girls, and the suspected murder of a fourth, by the predator known only as Mr Cruel. In this powerful and rare interview, Associate Professor Wells shares what it was like to examine the victims, the moment he returned a girl her parents believed was dead, and the vital evidence he uncovered that could still help unmask the man behind the mask. This episode contains descriptions of child sex abuse, sexual assault, self-harm and violent crime.

This deeply honest episode is a powerful call to every mum, dad, business owner, partner, and human who feels like they're holding everything together—barely. Karen G Adams strips away the glossy highlight reel to share the real, raw emotions of adulthood, business ownership, and the mental health struggles so many face in silence. If you've ever felt overwhelmed, unseen, or emotionally exhausted — this episode is for you. Karen shares how to check in with yourself, recognise the signs of quiet suffering, and take empowered steps towards healing, rest, and support. This is the most vulnerable conversation yet—and possibly the most needed.
