A proposito di questo titolo

Known and Trusted with Anna Sonoda, LCSW Grooming doesn’t look like danger. It looks like trust.

Known and Trusted is the podcast that exposes how child predators gain access to kids, focusing on how they do it, not why they do it.

Hosted by Anna Sonoda, LCSW, former therapist to convicted offenders turned grooming prevention authority, this series equips families, parents, and professionals with clear tools to recognize grooming before harm occurs. Through real survivor stories and expert insights, each episode reveals the hidden patterns predators use and shows how adults can build stronger safety around children. Because when families understand grooming, they can stop it. And that’s how we start a movement to end child sexual abuse, one story, one strategy, one conversation at a time.

Who should listen? Parents who want to raise confident, safe, and aware kids. Educators, coaches, and youth leaders looking for clear, practical tools. Therapists, advocates, and policymakers committed to prevention.

What will you gain? Real-world insights into how grooming works and how it hides in plain sight. Survivor stories that reveal patterns others miss. Clear strategies to strengthen your family’s safety net without fear-based messaging. A new lens on trust-how to recognize it, protect it, and teach it to kids.

Why share it? Because grooming prevention is the next parenting revolution. Every download, every share, and every conversation helps shift our culture from silence to safety. Together, we can make grooming visible before harm occurs.
