Description

This episode covers the sensitive topic of grooming, sexual violence and murder.

'To be honest, I thought that my work would end at some point. But there's just new versions, there's new children, there's new parents, there's new teachers and new police. So it is a constant battle to educate the public and young people, so it won't go away. We sure can make it better by working together and collaborating and trying to look after children in the most safe way in their busy online world.'

This episode features Lorin LaFave, founder of The Breck Foundation. Breck was groomed in a gaming group by predator Louis Danes. Despite Lorin's best efforts to seek help and stop the predator, in February 2014, Breck was lured to a meeting at Louis' flat and was murdered at the age of 14. Today, the charity campaigns for children's online safety laws and educates young people and adults on what online grooming is, what to look out for and where to go for help if you suspect someone is being groomed.
