Protecting Kids in the Digital Age: Online Exploitation & How Parents Can Keep Kids Safe Part 1

Today, Stacy welcomes Jacob Ostler, founding member of the International Protection Alliance, for Part 1 of a vital conversation on online sexual exploitation, sextortion, grooming, trafficking, and the realities facing kids and teens in the digital age.

Jacob has spent years working across the U.S. and internationally with survivors of sexual violence, trafficking, torture, online abuse, AI-generated exploitation, child marriage, and more. He brings clarity, compassion, and real-world experience to this urgent topic.

In this episode, Stacy and Jacob discuss:
• Why online exploitation is increasing at alarming rates
• How everyday apps like TikTok, Instagram & Snapchat are used to target kids
• Why this is not a First Amendment issue, but a child-protection issue
• Sextortion: what it is, how it happens, and why boys are heavily targeted
• What AI-generated abuse means for families
• How parents can begin conversations about digital safety
• What boundaries actually look like for kids online
• Why it’s never too late to start educating and protecting your child

This is a heavy episode—but a necessary one. If at any moment you need to step away, please do so with care for your emotional wellbeing.

Part 2 will expand to the global landscape of online trafficking and exploitation.
