    Chasing Hope for America’s Children: Advocating for the Children Sexually Abused by Jeffery Epstein (A Conversation with Paul Cassell)

    Everyone has now heard about the horrific sex crimes Jeffrey Epstein committed against countless girls and young women for decades through his sex trafficking organization. What many people do not know is that the Epstein survivors’ courageous fight to pursue justice and assert their rights changed the legal landscape for victims and survivors across the nation, and that their positive impact continues to be felt today.  Listen to our latest episode of Radio Kempe to hear a firsthand account from attorney Paul Cassell about the determination of the Epstein survivors and their attorneys to ensure that no other children have to endure what they endured at the hands of America’s justice system. Read more about Paul Cassell here: https://profiles.faculty.utah.edu/u0031056. If you would like to learn more about this decade-long legal battle, you can check out the book by his co-counsel, Bradley Edwards, at https://tinyurl.com/57ek24w4.

    21st Century Child Abuse: Meeting the Challenge of Online Child Safety. A Conversation with Lloyd Richardson, Director of Technology at The Canadian Centre for Child Protection

    The discussion focuses on the intersection of technology and child protection, particularly the risks children face online due to instant access to information, experiences, and people globally through smartphones.   Richardson, with nearly 20 years at the Canadian Centre for Child Protection, explains their work, which includes operating Canada's national tip line for reporting online sexual exploitation of children (CyberTip.ca) and Project Arachnid, a global tool that aims to remove child sexual abuse material from the internet.   The conversation draws parallels between the current challenges of regulating the internet and historical struggles with industries like tobacco, alcohol, and automotive, especially regarding seatbelt implementation. Richardson emphasizes that while technology offers benefits like education, it's a "double-edged sword" because society has not adequately mitigated its risks for children by applying lessons learned from other industries.   A key issue highlighted is age and identity verification (Know Your Customer/Digital Identity) online. Richardson argues that it's not a complex technological problem but rather faces resistance due to disinformation and concerns about "mass surveillance." He explains that digital ID can be more privacy-preserving than physical ID, as it can disclose only the necessary information (e.g., being over 18) without revealing other personal details. While not a complete solution, he believes age verification would significantly mitigate harm to children online, especially in contexts like pornography websites (requiring 18+ verification) and social media platforms (where knowing the age of users can prevent luring). He also notes that platforms often fail to enforce rules against children under 13, despite laws like COPPA.

    21st Century Child Abuse: Ensuring Child Safety Online in the 21st Century & Policy Implications. A Conversation with Maura Gissen, MA

    Summary of Key Findings   In the current state of technology, we have failed to create any meaningful legal framework to ensure our children are safe in the digital world. The lack of legal protections for children online differs from those of the physical world. Children online are at risk of experiencing poor mental health outcomes, being victims of predatory behavior, being exposed to harmful content, and being illegally sold firearms and/or drugs. Without age assurance or verification in the digital world, adults have unfettered access to children. Currently, most child sex trafficking victims report they are being contacted via text and internet platforms such as social media and gaming. Additionally, the number of images of child sex abuse material (CSAM; formerly referred to as child pornography) sent to authorities increased exponentially in the 21st century, and the vast majority of CSAM images come from social media. Children are also at greater risk of being exposed to adult content, including pornography, whether the exposure was sought out or unwanted.  Protecting children online would require platforms to verify the ages of their users and to put restrictions in place so children can navigate the digital world safely. Various advanced age verification processes have been developed and are widely available. Despite this, many platforms have failed to implement age protections even when they know children frequent their sites. Thus, lawmakers are compelled to make clear that the same protections for children that exist in the physical world are also required in the digital world. There are many policy changes needed to further ensure technology safety, and a starting point is to: a) require pornography websites to verify user age to ensure only adults are accessing the sites; b) require social media companies and gaming platforms to verify a new account holder’s age; and c) requiring social media platforms to enable maximum default privacy settings for users who are children.   Maura Gissen Bio Maura Gissen is a fifth year Clinical Psychology doctoral student with the University of Colorado Denver and has her master’s in counseling psychology. Maura currently works with the Farley Health Policy Center (FHPC) with CU Anschutz engaging in research and program implementation. More specifically, she has been focused on youth mental health related to diversifying the workforce pipeline, and on child health and safety in digital spaces. Maura has been working in the mental health field for ten years and focuses on the intersection of trauma and systemic disparities for individuals across the lifespan. She is passionate about engaging in clinical therapeutic practice, along with research focused on policy, advocacy, and systems-level change.

    21st Century Child Abuse: Protecting Children in a Digital Age. A Conversation with Denise Abdoo, PhD, CPNP, MSN, Antonia Chiesa, MD and Warren Binford, JD, EdM

    The Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) and its Optional Protocol on the sale of children, child prostitution and child pornography (OPSC) are the foundational international legal instruments designed to protect children. However, as these treaties were adopted before the widespread digital era, their provisions require a modern interpretation to effectively combat the increasing links between sexual offenses against children and the online environment. Our podcast will delve into our recent report to the CRC, which aims to foster a deeper understanding of these challenges, enable more effective implementation of the OPSC by States, and ensure the Protocol remains a robust instrument for child protection, regardless of how offenses are facilitated.

    The Dream Is Us: Bridging to Relationship: A Conversation with Michelle Davis, MS, LPC, Director of Organizational Impact and Development at the Kempe Center

    When we journey to distant lands—places rich with unfamiliar customs, cultures, and ways of being—we often pause to observe, to learn, and to honor the rhythms of life that differ from our own. Why? Because something deep within us longs to be in “right relationship” with others. Unconsciously, we hold a collective dream of being better together.   In this episode of Radio Kempe, we invite you to explore a different kind of travel: the inward journey into our own internal landscapes and the emotional geographies of those around us. Just as we navigate foreign terrain with curiosity and care, we can approach our relationships—with colleagues, loved ones, and communities—with the same spirit of discovery and respect.   Through the metaphor of traveling and bridge-building, we’ll uncover how intentional connection can heal fractures, foster understanding, and transform the way we live and work together. Join us for this conversation as we chart a course toward deeper relationships—within our teams, our organizations, and ourselves.

    Supporting Clinicians in Working with High-Stress Families: A Conversation with Sarah Cleary, Ph.D.

    Many therapists find it challenging to work with children who have experienced trauma and families facing multiple stressors, high conflict, and systemic issues. These families can be difficult to engage, leading therapists to feel ineffective, and thereby contributing to overarching burnout. Consequently, the children who often need the most support sometimes go without it.  But what if clinicians working with these vulnerable populations received more robust support, including ongoing group supervision and mentorship? Could this lead to better outcomes for both patients and providers? This is the question our guest, Sarah Cleary, Ph.D. (she/her), has been exploring at Denver Health, developing a variety of supervision experiences for trainees and staff over the past few years. Join us as we discuss how these support systems can make a difference.  About our Guest: Sarah Cleary, Ph.D. (she/her) is a Licensed Clinical Psychologist and AF-CBT In-House Trainer with the Child Mental Health Team, Outpatient Behavioral Health Services at Denver Health. She is also an Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Colorado School of Medicine.
