Summary

Every parent thinks the biggest threats to their children are somewhere else until they realize the front door is already open. In this sobering conversation, former CIA operative, Air Force Pararescueman, and DeliverFund founder Nic McKinley pulls back the curtain on the realities of human trafficking, online grooming, and the digital systems putting predators within reach of children every day. This isn't far off. It's a rampant problem in the United States. From shocking stories of rescue missions to practical warnings about Roblox, social media, gaming platforms, and the "smartphone effect," Nic explains why the internet has fundamentally changed childhood and what parents need to understand now. This episode is difficult, important, and deeply empowering. You'll walk away with a clearer picture of the risks, a greater appreciation for the work being done to stop traffickers, and renewed confidence that protecting kids starts with paying attention (and deleting Roblox).
