There are now predators operating on every single gaming and social media platform out there.
Trying to groom our kids, right out in the open.”
Former Queensland Police Detective Inspector Jon Rouse on THE CHILDREN IN THE PICTURES podcast
Harrowing, often hard to listen to, challenging, frightening but ultimately educative and truly a WARNING, THE CHILDREN IN THE PICTURES is a LiSTNR and DNX Media new original docu-series podcast that follows the Queensland Police investigation into notorious child exploitation website, ‘The Love Zone’ which hosted thousands of members around the world who created, uploaded, and shared videos and photographic material of unimaginable acts against children.
Australian documentary-maker Akhim Dev follows this elite team of Australian investigators, Taskforce Argos, who use their global connections and controversial undercover strategies to take down hands-on abusers in order to save The Children in the Pictures. Considered a landmark investigation, it is the first time undercover agents were able to take over and run a vast and secretive criminal network from the inside. They are heroes.
This eight-part series is a powerful examination into how child abuse has become endemic online, and what we can all do to fight it.
In the latest All Australian Podcasts ranker (January 18) The Children in the Pictures, jumped 15 places made its debut in the top 40.
The final episode, Episode 8, is tailored to advice for parents from those fighting the crime of Child Sexual Exploitation Material.
The podcast features former Queensland Police Detective Inspector Jon Rouse, who has investigated crimes against children for 25 years and was Argos’ victim identification specialist. When asked why he has worked for so long in this harrowing role, he simply said, “I do it for the children in the pictures.” Try and listen and not weep, not run to your kids and hold them tight, and not look at digital devices in a whole new light.
“As a parent you should be concerned. You should take an interest in the technology you are giving your child. Don’t be fearful about them going outside and playing and being kids, it is the online world that is the danger. There are now predators operating on every single gaming and social media platform out there. Trying to groom our kids, right out in the open. Sometimes while they sit in the next room,” Queensland Police Detective Inspector Jon Rouse.
