    Protecting Children from the Harmful Legacy of Dr. Dobson with D.L. Mayfield

    Today's episode is a heavier one. We recorded this conversation in the midst of the newly released Epstein files and the horrific reality that powerful people often protect abusers rather than children. If there was ever a moment to talk plainly about safeguarding children, it's now. Our guest today is D.L. Mayfield (they/them). D.L. is an author, podcaster, and co-creator of The Strong-Willed Project, which documents harm done to children in evangelicalism and other high-control religious spaces, with particular attention to the legacy of James Dobson and the parenting framework his books popularized for decades. This episode was recorded on February 11, just days after reporting revealed that some abusers named in the Epstein files shared Dobson's parenting advice as part of controlling their victims. A content note: this episode includes discussion of corporal punishment and abuse. We do not describe sexual abuse in detail, but it is referenced. Please take care of yourself in whatever way you need. But if you have the privilege to listen, especially if you have not experienced abuse, please don't look away. Children cannot advocate for themselves in systems built to silence them. Protecting them is a moral responsibility. As James Baldwin writes: "The children are always ours, every single one of them, all over the globe; and I am beginning to suspect that whoever is incapable of recognizing this may be incapable of morality.
