Zuby speaks with Nate Lewis, founder of The Innocent, an organisation dedicated to protecting children from exploitation and abuse. Nate shares how he began his journey and reveals the staggering scale of child sexual abuse in the United States, including shocking statistics on victim numbers. They discuss the dangerous role smartphones and social media play in facilitating these crimes, and the lackluster response from law enforcement. Nate discusses how predators operate, what motivates them, and what steps individuals and society must take to combat this abuse.
