 “Parents need to win every single time. Predators only need to win once.” 

What if the scariest threat to your child isn’t outside your home—but already inside it? In this gut-wrenching and purpose-fueled episode, Steve Ramona welcomes Dave, a former police officer turned digital child protection warrior, to confront a crisis too many parents underestimate: internet child exploitation. Dave’s mission isn’t theoretical. It’s born from raw frontline experience in human trafficking, fueled by fatherhood, and forged in the fire of real-world horror. With over 5 million predators online and only a fraction of parents aware of what their kids are facing, the stats are chilling—but Dave’s solution is deeply empowering.

Through emotionally grounded storytelling, he shares how a single moment on paper led to a life-changing mission. He walks listeners through the realities of “digital hostage-taking,” explains the heartbreaking path from sextortion to suicide, and reveals how everyday families can become advocates—not victims. From child-friendly courses to family agreements and powerful real-life stories, Dave offers more than education. He offers a roadmap back to trust, safety, and empowered parenting.

If you’re a parent, a teacher, a coach—or someone who believes children deserve a safe world—this episode will shake you awake and show you how to rise up. The predators may cast a wide net, but we can build an army of guardians.
