    The Predator’s Playbook: How To Identify And Prevent Child Sexual Abuse

    • Child abuse is a sobering reality often perpetrated by trusted individuals rather than strangers. To successfully exploit a child, predators rely on a specific playbook to gain access, trust, and secrecy. Our expert this week explains how parents can help dismantle these opportunities without needing to resort to overprotective parenting styles.

    Guests: Dr. Bronwen Carroll, pediatric emergency medicine physician, Boston Medical Center, assistant professor of pediatrics, Boston University
