Ons dink dikwels ons sal ‘n pedofiel herken – ‘n grillerige ou man wat vir jou kind lekkergoed aanbied. Die realiteit is helaas baie meer ontstellend. Pedofiele is sportafrigters, onderwysers, mentors – 'betroubare' volwassenes wat kinders én hul ouers stadig maar seker voorberei ("groom") vir seksuele misbruik. Hulle teiken nie net dogtertjies nie: seuns, ook tienerseuns,is dikwels in hul visier. In hierdie belangrike episode gesels Daniëlla met die polisie se Kolonel Heila Niemand, ‘n FBI-opgeleide speurder en lid van ‘n internasionale taakspan wat misdade teen kinders ondersoek. Heila deel skokkende insigte oor hoe pedofiele te werk gaan, hoe hulle die internet gebruik om kinders te manipuleer, en bowenal, wat ons as ouers kan doen om ons kinders te beskerm. Dit is nie ‘n maklike gesprek nie – maar dit is een wat ons nie kan bekostig om te ignoreer nie. We often think we’d recognize a predator—a creepy old man lurking in the shadows. But the reality is far more unsettling. Predators are coaches, teachers, mentors—trusted adults who carefully groom both children and their parents. They don’t just target little girls; boys, even older ones, are often victims too. In this critical episode, Daniëlla sit down with SAPS Colonel Heila Niemand, an FBI-trained investigator and member of an international task force dedicated to fighting crimes against children. Heila shares eye-opening insights into how predators operate, how they use the internet to manipulate children, and most importantly, what we as parents can do to protect our kids. This is not an easy conversation—but it’s one we cannot afford to ignore. - Intro Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!): https://uppbeat.io/t/abbynoise/burst-of-light License code: I430IW70W4DQLJ9
