What Parents Need To Know About Grooming: Protecting Kids (Part 1)

CW: Abuse, child sexual abuse, grooming

In this heavy but crucial episode of Robot Unicorn, hosts Jess and Scott tackle the difficult reality of childhood sexual abuse and the grooming process. We break down why abusers are overwhelmingly people the child already knows and trusts, completely dismantling the outdated 'stranger danger' myth. Listeners will gain vital insights into how abusers manipulate power dynamics and learn actionable ways to use body safety education as a powerful shield. Join us for an empowering conversation designed to help you recognize red flags and proactively protect the children in your life.
