Episode Description

This week we will have as our guest Donna Staples with Tetrad Core. Their mission is to collaborate with law enforcement agencies across the country to assist them in stings focusing on online pedophilia and sexual assault. Tetrad Core’s main goal is educating parents and students about the dangers the internet can pose for those who are unaware. The newest apps, video games, and social media can all present a danger to children. They are also currently collaborating with an educational company on creating curriculum that can be introduced into schools that will teach students, and parent how to be aware and safe when accessing the Internet. Tetrad Core helped with sting operations with Chris Hansen, “Hansen vs. Predator,” (previously of “To Catch a Predator”) in Connecticut that resulted in 11 arrests and convictions.

This program is designed to educate first responders, civic leaders, social workers, education professionals, faith based leaders and parents about how predators access, groom, recruit and exploit victims into prostitution and sextortion. We analyze real cases from the perspective of Law Enforcement, the victim, and the perpetrator. We look at hard core trafficking cases and how law enforcement is able to intervene. We examine cases of child pornography and the Dark Web. We examine how predators use apps, chatrooms, games and the latest technologies. We discuss the impact of gangs and cartels on human exploitation. We also look at trends in global human trafficking. Our goal is to build a global interactive community of individuals empowered to eradicate human exploitation.
