Protecting your children from sextortion: Mom Squad
There’s a trend happening all over the country, a dangerous one, and its lingering on your child’s phone. It’s called “Sextortion.” Last year alone, the FBI received 7,000 reports of minors being targeted.
Jesse Weinberger, Internet Safety Speaker was interviewed for a CNN internet safety piece presented in part by Sprint.
It’s taken forever, but season 2 is finally going to be released this week.
Focusing on Teens
I went back and forth for a long time – trying to craft the best possible way to reach a much larger audience. (I can only spend *so* much time traveling before I snap.) After much deliberation, I’ve decided to reformat the podcast.
Big Mama’s House Podcast is now for teens (13 years old and up).
While covering true crime, tech issues, social media issues, bullying, sexting, etc – I’m also going to explore the latest discoveries in mental health, as well as topics exploring the immense amounts of pressure impacting teens.
(Insider info: Based on the episodes already recorded, I can guarantee that you’ll learn something new and laugh along in the process. Some of my guests are the teeensiest bit unhinged. My favorite.)
Useful to parents & schools too
As an added bonus, the teen-centric content will be a useful resource for parents and school districts. If you’re a parent or an educator and you’re not sure how to begin a conversation, feel free to use the episodes as the starting point for “real” conversations.
If you’ve landed in this space as an adult, you’re welcome to stay and participate. Just beware that we’re going to have some stuff to say to you too. Like, don’t ask your kids to put their phones down at dinner, while YOU have yours in your hand. Seriously. Enough is enough
Bottom Line
Season 1’s intended audience is adults and school districts
Season 2’s (and future season’s) intended audience is teens
