An absolute immediate “must read” for every parent, grandparent, educator, pastor, and first responder. Frank Cutruzzola has done a magnificent job of cutting to the chase for parents and youth on how to keep kids safe online. Sextortion has become a true global pandemic, and it is heart breaking. As the entire world has become connected by technology, young people are the targets of global financial sextortion rings and yet few adults recognize how sextortion perpetrators operate or realize the impact this has on teens and their families. Even fewer know how to report the crimes of sextortion and implement a psychological recovery plan for the victim and their families.
This book is powerful and specific. Frank has provided step by step actions to take if a loved one is being blackmailed or at risk of becoming a victim of sextortion. Equally important, he outlines the critical conversations for parents and youth to have before they become victims. Please share this information with everyone you know that might have young people using online devices. You could save a life.
