About this listen

 The Silent Trap: Protecting Children from Sextortion" by Joseph Bonner, details the alarming rise of sextortion as a global crisis targeting children. The text explains that predators manipulate and coerce minors into sending explicit content, then use blackmail to demand more images, money, or silence. It outlines common predatory tactics such as creating fake identities and using flattery, while emphasizing the psychological warfare involved. The source also provides eight practical strategies for protection, including fostering open communication, securing privacy settings, teaching digital boundaries, and reporting incidents to authorities like the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC). Finally, it offers a "tactical response script" to empower victims, underscoring that silence is the predator's greatest weapon and that conversation, education, and vigilance are the strongest defenses.
