S3 E13 - Princess Snowflake - The tragic case of Amanda Todd CW/TW - discusses Sexual Exploitation of a minor, suicide, mental health, mentions of sexual assault, mention of pedophilia and brief mention of bestiality Today's episode is especially heavy. Truly, they all are, but this one touches on particularly triggering topics. Today, we will be talking about Amanda Todd. Her story continues to make others in situations of bullying and online threats feel seen. Amanda Todd was a minor just checking out the up and coming online and social media scene when a sick and twisted pedophile and his helpers tortured her by way of text messages, emails and online exploitation. While her case is heartbreaking, it has also opened up a little bit of dialogue and awareness on to one of the things that unfortunately continues to this day - which is SEXTORTION, bullying, and suicide. Amanda was coerced and groomed by an online predator, and then bullied and abused both on and offline by her peers. What resulted was tragedy. To ALL victims and survivors - thank you. We admire your strength and perseverance in the face of adversity. We advocate and stand WITH and for you. Never stop telling your story. Let’s continue applying pressure. Thank you for your bravery.
