In Part 2 of When Trust Becomes a Weapon: Protecting Children from Abuse, David Goldberg shifts the focus from awareness to accountability—examining how institutions, authority figures, and systems repeatedly fail the very children they claim to protect.

Using the historic Larry Nassar case as a central example, David breaks down how positions of trust, power, and control are weaponized against minors, and how warning signs were ignored by major institutions, governing bodies, and oversight agencies. He explains how hundreds of victims were silenced while complaints were dismissed, delayed, or buried—resulting in one of the largest abuse scandals in U.S. history.

This episode explores why policy changes and paperwork alone do not protect children, why boards and organizations often prioritize reputation and power over safety, and why parents and guardians must become the first and strongest line of defense. David explains how background checks fail, how predators exploit clean records, and why polygraph examinations, when conducted by experienced and certified examiners, can serve as a powerful preventive safeguard—not just an investigative tool after harm has already occurred.

Listeners will also hear a direct call to action: demand accountability, demand stronger safeguards, and demand real protection—not empty promises. David emphasizes the importance of listening to children without judgment, recognizing grooming behaviors, and taking immediate action when concerns arise.

This episode is intended to educate, empower, and protect. Due to the sensitive nature of the subject matter, listener discretion is advised.
