In this powerful and deeply human conversation, survivor and advocate Nathan Spiteri reveals the uncomfortable truth behind childhood abuse, how grooming works, why most victims never speak up, and how unresolved trauma silently shapes adult lives — often leading to addiction, violence, and even suicide.Together, we break down the real signs parents miss, the psychological traps children fall into, and why education—not silence—is the only way to protect our families. Nathan opens up about his own journey from abuse to addiction to healing, sharing the steps that helped him reclaim his power, confront triggers, forgive himself, and finally say the words that changed everything: “It wasn't my fault.”This episode is a must-listen for parents, teachers, caregivers, and anyone who wants to create safer homes, neighborhoods, and schools. Because saving even one child today can save generations tomorrow.Episode Breakdown (Short Version)00:00 mins — Why conversations on child abuse matter00:33 mins — Early warning signs parents must notice02:36 mins — Teaching children correct body awareness04:07 mins — Why kids don't speak up & how parents react06:55 mins — Abuse within families & the role of trust10:00 mins — Hidden male trauma & shocking statistics12:29 mins — How childhood trauma leads to adult crises16:18 mins — Nathan's personal story of abuse & grooming19:27 mins — Rock bottom, therapy & the start of healing20:57 mins — Understanding triggers and managing them29:55 mins — Nathan's three key principles for healing35:07 mins — What to do when you're triggered and alone44:36 mins — The growing danger of online bullying47:22 mins — What schools and communities must do58:24 mins — The mission: helping even one child01:00:47 mins — Final message & how to reach out for helpStay Connected with The Growth Mindset:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/silawath_irshad/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/TheGrowthMindsetwithSilawathIrshadFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/silawathirshad/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/silawathirshad/Connect with Nathan Spiteri below:Website: https://www.nathanspiteri.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nathanspiteri/Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nathan-spiteri-06778719

Regulating AI and Protecting Children. Kevin Frazier (Law School Fellow at the University of Texas at Austin) addresses the growing concern over AI chatbots following tragedies, noting that while only 1.9% of ChatGPT conversations relate to "relationships," this fraction still warrants significant attention. He criticizes early state legislative responses, such as Illinois banning AI therapy tools, arguing that such actions risk denying mental health support to children who cannot access human therapists. Frazier advocates against imposing restrictive statutory law on the rapidly evolving technology. Instead, he recommends implementing a voluntary, standardized rating system, similar to the MPA film rating system. This framework would provide consumers with digestible information via labels—like "child safe" or "mental health appropriate"—to make informed decisions and incentivize industry stakeholders to develop safer applications. 1919

MONEY FM 89.3 - Prime Time with Howie Lim, Bernard Lim & Finance Presenter JP Ong
In February 2019, three-year-old Megan Khung began missing school. A year later, she was dead, after suffering physical and emotional abuse at the hands of her mother and the woman’s boyfriend. On Oct 23, a review panel appointed by the Ministry of Social and Family Development (MSF) released a report that detailed the actions of the agencies involved in Megan’s case. It revealed that within a year, there were several lapses at various agencies – including the MSF’s Child Protective Service (CPS) and the police – that ultimately led to the tragedy. What were these lapses? Could we have done more to prevent her death? What can we learn to prevent another tragedy like this from happening again? On The Big Story, Hongbin Jeong speaks with Cindy Ng, Director of Melrose Home, to find out more. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Do you post pictures of your kids online? Well, children's therapist and cyber trauma expert, Catherine Knibbs, is here to tell you why you shouldn't (even if you're on a private account!) In this week's episode of A Millennial Mind, we're talking about the hidden dangers of posting kids online, the reality of online predators, and why the usual rules around screen time and social media safety don't really apply to modern-day children anymore. Catherine shares what's actually happening to kids' brains when they grow up in a digital world, how predators think, and why parents often get protecting kids online completely wrong (without even realising it). It's not about fear or banning tech; it's about learning how to raise kids who can thrive both online and offline. And honestly, some of this blew my mind. Let me know what you think in the comments! ✨ What You'll Learn Why posting kids on social media isn't as safe as you think The real ways online predators target children What screen time does to the brain and mental health The dangers of social media that most parents ignore How to talk to your kids so they actually open up Tips to balance tech and real-world life without constant battles Why attachment and consent matter in digital parenting
Evidence-based approaches that prioritise child safety after separation exist, yet our current family law system in Australia continues to fail children by putting parental contact above protection. When we strip away ideology and look at what research actually shows, we discover that protecting kids from harmful patterns while maintaining safe connection is what truly serves their best interests.• Safety must be the starting point, with every case beginning with the question: "Is this child safe?"• Child development research shows kids need stability, routine, and a secure base with their primary caregiver.• Professional accountability is crucial, with transparent standards and independent oversight for those making life-altering recommendations in the family law space.• Children's voices must be genuinely heard in ways that are developmentally appropriate and trauma-informed.• Protective parents need support, not punishment or pathologisation, for speaking out about harm.• Documentation of patterns is crucial for building evidence of harmful behaviour.• Challenge professional competence by asking about training in coercive control and assessment tools.• Find allies who understand trauma, coercive control, and child development.The Post-Separation Parenting Blueprint™ brings together the research, strategies, and frameworks to help navigate post-separation parenting strategically.

Hey friends, welcome back to Find the Joy with Jenn! I'm so glad you're here. Today, we're diving into a really important topic—one that I know touches so many of you listening. We're talking about protecting and empowering children in divorce. This is a tender subject, because divorce doesn't just affect the couple—it ripples out to our children. And as parents, grandparents, or even leaders in the Church, one of our greatest responsibilities is to safeguard their hearts, their trust, and their ability to thrive, even in hard circumstances. Much of what I'll share today is inspired by a beautiful Ensign article from April 2019, called “Protecting Children” by Marissa Widdison, but I've adapted it specifically to address the unique challenges children face during divorce. So if you're going through a divorce, or you love someone who is, this episode is for you.

On today's episode of Uncommon Sense with Ginny Robinson, we're taking a hard look at Taylor Swift's new pornographic-themed album cover, The Life of a Showgirl. From the drinking and partying she parades as normal to her descent into porn culture, Swift has become a dangerous influence on young girls—and really, on everyone. We'll also address the cult-like following surrounding her, and why parents have a biblical responsibility to guard their children from this idolatry and from being exposed to Taylor Swift's sinful pornographic example. Darkness must be exposed, and the Word of God gives us the standard by which to measure it. We will also discuss how disgusting it is to excuse sin by simply labeling it “adult entertainment.” Unfriendly reminder: Civilization is currently collapsing. Let's actually do something about it?--https://www.thebrandsunday.com/
On this episode of Uncommon Sense with Ginny Robinson, we're addressing the troubling reality of the Epstein list and Donald Trump's failure to bring it to light, holding it up to the standard of biblical justice.

We're back in sharing our WTFs with Dr. Krista Kostroman, and Dr. Betty Murray!In this episode, Dr. Krista and Dr. Betty shed light on the situation of women's accessibility to healthcare. They discuss how hormone replacement therapy and how access to these particular medications could make the difference when it comes to women's health. They also discuss how the current administration has this way of slowly stripping away women and children's rights. Children not receiving the proper lookout in which there is a wide invalidation of reports of children being harmed especially in the church due to the First Amendment, which the US administration is supportive of. Lastly, Dr. Krista and Dr. Betty tackle the dangers of Dr. ChatGPT - where AI that is made available to all has not been trained for specific medical reasons yet the majority of the population nowadays tend to believe the first answer they receive from an AI bot which leads to dangers in healthcare, especially in the context of mental health.______________________________________________________Keep yourself up to date on The DNA Talks Podcast!

The Do One Better! Podcast – Philanthropy, Sustainability and Social Entrepreneurship
In this compelling conversation, Inger Ashing, CEO of Save the Children International, offers an unflinching examination of the state of children's rights in a world increasingly defined by conflict, climate disruption, and political fragmentation. She reflects on the historic roots of Save the Children, founded in the aftermath of World War I with a radical vision that children, regardless of nationality or political context, are entitled to rights, dignity, and protection. This foundational principle, she explains, remains strikingly relevant today. Ashing underscores the organization's expansive reach—operating in approximately 100 countries and having supported over 110 million children in 2024 alone. But alongside the impressive scale of operations, she offers a sobering account of the challenges children face. One in six children globally now lives in conflict zones. The number of children out of school—85 million—is at its highest level ever recorded. She discusses the reversal of hard-won gains in child health, protection, and education, driven by a perfect storm of climate emergencies, armed conflicts, and a backlash against international norms, including child and women's rights. At the heart of Ashing's message is the belief in children's agency. Through deeply personal anecdotes drawn from her field visits—from a 14-year-old girl raising her siblings in northern Mozambique to a boy in Pakistan rebuilding his life after catastrophic floods—she illustrates the extraordinary resilience and vision that young people bring to the most adverse circumstances. Their desire for education is not abstract; it is a lifeline, a claim to future possibility. And it is in emergencies where education is most threatened—and most needed—that Save the Children concentrates much of its current work. Ashing emphasizes that education in emergencies is not a peripheral concern but a life-saving intervention. With donor priorities shifting and official development assistance shrinking, this work is at risk. Yet, Save the Children's evidence-based approaches—refined over decades and adapted across diverse contexts—demonstrate what can be achieved when commitment and local engagement meet strategic investment. These “common approaches,” as she describes them, are publicly available and designed to maximize learning across the broader humanitarian sector. In addition to its humanitarian interventions, the organization is also engaged in long-term systems change—advising ministries, shaping policy, and addressing root causes of issues such as child marriage, which affects 12 million girls annually. Ashing reiterates that addressing child protection holistically requires legislative reform, social norm change, and, critically, economic empowerment—especially through keeping girls in school. Ashing calls on world leaders to re-center children in global priorities and urges those working in the sector to do so in genuine partnership with youth. Nothing, she insists, should be done about children without them. In the face of daunting statistics and policy setbacks, she points to a truth that holds steady: we know what works.

Millions of people in more than a hundred countries march at Pride festivities each year. Attendees come mostly to express support for lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans gender, queer and intersex people — the LGBTQI+ community. And although Pride may be on every continent, there's a swathe of countries where Pride still is not freely celebrated. Take Russia, where a court last decade issued a one-hundred-year ban on Pride events. Or Turkey, where police in recent years have been harassing, attacking and detaining activists and members of the LGBTQ+ community. And then there's Hungary, which is inside the EU but out of step with its laws and values. This year Hungary's illiberal prime minister Viktor Orbán said he intended to stop Pride in the capital Budapest, on the pretext of child-protection. Under-18s are supposedly at risk from so-called displays of homosexuality, displays that themselves were banned four years ago. That's a direct echo of Russia's anti-LGBT statute on Protecting Children and Traditional Family Values signed into law by Vladimir Putin more than a decade ago. This month Hungarian police duly imposed the Budapest ban that Orbán called for. And they added a dystopian touch: facial recognition technology. Attendees identified at Budapest Pride could face fines of 500 euros; they also could face neofascist thugs from far-right splinter groups. But Budapest mayor Gergely Karácsony says this year's event is going ahead this weekend just the same. After all, Budapest has had Pride marches for the best part of three decades. It's also worth recalling that Pride was born out of state repression. The first marches were held in the early 70s in a handful of US cities to mark the anniversary of the Stonewall Riots. That name, Stonewall, comes from a bar, the Stonewall Inn, in New York City's Greenwich Village. The gay and transgender patrons of the Stonewall had grown sick of police harassment and abuse, and their uprising in 1969 still marks a key moment for civil rights movements everywhere. One beneficiary of such hard-won victories is Marc Angel, one of five so-called Quaestors at the European Parliament overseeing matters affecting the chamber's 705 members. Marc is a Socialist from Luxembourg and also co-president of the European Parliament's intergroup on LGBTIQ+ rights. For him, this weekend's Budapest Pride events amount to a protest — a protest against bogus limits on freedom of assembly in Hungary, and a protest against an international anti-gender movement, backed by Russia, supported by US ultraconservatives, and aimed at polarizing societies and weakening democracy.Support the show
