Live streaming apps like Live.Me are providing a whole new level of access to our kids. Live.Me is a relatively new app with about one hundred MILLION users. It has a geotracking function that alerts people nearby when you are broadcasting. Pedophiles have been using this app to encourage kids as young as 7 years old with virtual currency to grind, strip and photograph themselves provocatively. The app advertises itself as a way for kids, tweens, teenagers, to be a star.
This show will explore how pedophiles use the latest technologies to groom our kids. We will discuss why kids won’t tell by examining the psychological impact of shame on a pre pubescent child and how they trauma bond with the pedophile. And, we will analyze how this affects their perception of self worth and sexual relationships. We will also probe real cases and we will delve into the need for parents and teachers to understand what happens to a naked photo of a victim of sextortion.
