The Tech Trap: A Mom's Fight for Her Daughter in a World of Modern Technology

Show Guest: Deborah Berry

Upon discovering her daughter had wandered off into technological weeds at the young age of twelve, Deborah Berry was called to action based on the belief her daughter was on the verge of being swept away into the sex trade. Through a series of painful decisions, her daughter was sent to a wilderness program followed by placement in a therapeutic boarding school. During her almost four years away, her daughter lived life technology free with the exception of an iPod. Essentially, she was placed on technological ice, leaving concerns regarding internet platforms and the potential dangers unaddressed.

Determined to educate both herself and her daughter, Deborah dove deep into research, exposing the potential traps our youth so easily fall into and shares the lessons learned in her new book The Tech Trap: A Mom's Fight for Her Daughter in a World of Modern Technology. And there is more, Deborah is currently working on taking The Tech Trap to the next level in a workshop format on her website: https://thetechtrapmovement.com. The workshops intent is to allow families to learn more about the role that social media platforms and technology play in the lives of their children and how to counteract events that have already occurred.

In this not-to-be-miss interview, Deborah shares how untold numbers of families are suffering in silent distress as they attempt to navigate unknown waters for their children in crisis. She explains, “It is my hope that by sharing my personal journey, I will provide light and encouragement along the way.”
