This is an interview with Glen in which he discusses his abuse as a child and what it was like to grow up in Kings Cross back in the 80s.
It's not an easy topic to listen to, but it is vital that we do if we are to learn from survivors to better protect children.

Predators' Paradise is a raw, honest account of Glen Fisher’s life.
Haunted by his abusers, he is driven to fight for justice for himself and the many friends he lost along the way. Having been told by the worst of his abusers that he would never get justice or write a book, Glen became even more determined to do both.
The justice system is a maze of heavily flawed processes. Glen knows this, but he keeps fighting. He gave evidence about police corruption and protection of paedophiles at the Wood Royal Commission and also at the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Abuse. He assisted the police in holding three abusers accountable in court cases that led to their convictions and imprisonment.
There are more predators who need to be held accountable, and Glen is fighting to have them arrested.

Gabe has presented at West Point and on Capitol Hill to address members of Congress about porn’s impact on youth.

I'd like you to meet an inspirationalyoung woman Emma Hakansson and hear her powerful message about what is best tohelp children disclose if they have been abused.

I highly recommend taking the time tolisten to Emma's story.

Please join Catherine Lyell from @Integrated Men's Health and myself as we discuss the impact porn0graphy is having on generations of teens and men. Catherine has been working in male health dealing with men who have a problem with porn0grapahy, many of them started watching it in childhood and I'm keen to hear and share what she has to say to help parents talk with their children so they don't have the same problems as Catherine's clients. We cover how p0rnography impacts the brain, body, sexuality, behaviours, and health. Catherine covers teens and young men, who some have been viewing p0rn since they were 5 years old! I address consent, what seeing in schools, the younger kids, and how to have age-appropriate conversations with your kids.

As Cath began to develop her practice she notices that trauma clients presented with medical issues more often than not and this became much of the dialogue between herself and the client, regardless of age.

I haven't come across anyone in Australia talking about Cyber Trauma and I think you will all learn a great deal from this interview. We have so much to learn from Cath and here is her website if you'd like to find out more about this pioneer in the field of Cyber Safety. https://www.catherineknibbs.co.uk/ Cath has a more than 85 interview and videos on her YouTube channel and there is a wealth of information there. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4Tw...

"WARNING"
This interview is the conversation that nobody is having. You may find my incredibly open interview with Heidi Olson, very confronting, but I won't apologise for that. Our children need us to be having this conversation about child to child sexual abuse, because it's on the rise, and nobody is addressing it. Heidi Olson is a Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner Program Manager at Children's Mercy Hospital in Kansas City, Missouri. In this interview, we discussed the link between child to child sex abuse and the access of children viewing pornography. You will find the resources Heidi mentions in the interview here. Especially my children's book about 'child to child sexual abuse', 'Gary just didn't know the rules'. https://safe4kids.com.au/shop/ If you would like to contact Heidi Olson here are her details. https://www.linkedin.com/in/heidi-ols...
