The FBI is warning parents, caregivers, and teens about increased sextortion crimes across the country.
The primary target is boys ages 14-17 and sadly, suicide rates due to sextortion are on the rise.
Sextortion is a kind of scam where the suspect gets children to share some sexually explicit material usually by coercing them, making them think that they're also someone that age and they're going to be exchanging nude images. Once the suspect has that image, then they extort the child/minor for money or more images of sexually explicit content. Listen to this episode to find out the best ways to educate your family about sextortion.

Kris Harrison, PhD is an expert in the relationships families have with media. As the Richard Cole imminent professor in the Hussman School of Journalism and Media at the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill, she studies children and media in a family context. Recently, Kris focused on children's use of media devices and content for sensory regulation and how this is connected with parent-child conflict around the child's media use.
Our conversation in this episode centers around neurodivergent children and how their needs for sensory input can vary hugely from their siblings and friends. Many ASD (Autistic Spectrum Disorder) adults and children are finding success with using technology as a portable control device for overwhelming environments.
It’s a really good conversation - one that changed the way I see restaurants and other public areas. I hope you’ll listen!
