Ep 12: Groomed Through Gaming: The Murder Of Teenager Breck Bednar
Private: Ep 12: Groomed Through Gaming: The Murder Of Teenager Breck Bednar
On 17 February 2014, Breck Bednar, 14 was killed by 18-year-old Lewis Daynes at a flat Essex. Bednar knew Daynes only through online gaming and had never met him in person until he visited Daynes’s flat on the day of the murder.
In this episode, we explore this really important learning event for safeguarding leaders. For me, it's an important reminder that young people play an important role in the wellbeing and safety of themselves & friends by recognising signs of grooming & exploitation.
The Breck Foundation is a charity founded by Lorin LaFave after the tragic loss of her 14-year old son, Breck Bednar, in 2014, through online grooming.
Breck was groomed while enjoying his passions of computing and gaming.
We want to ensure that no child is harmed through grooming and
exploitation while enjoying their time on the internet. Prevention through education is essential.
The Breck Foundation uses the motto: ‘play virtual, live real’ to remind everyone never to meet up alone in a private place with someone they have met only online.
