| 0:00.0 | Well, hello, everyone. I'm James Dobson, and you're listening to Family Talk, a listener-supported ministry. |
| 0:06.5 | In fact, thank you so much for being part of that support for James Dobson Family Institute. |
| 0:19.3 | Well, welcome to Family Talk. I'm Roger Marsh. Today's topic is one that's very sensitive in nature, |
| 0:25.3 | and it's intended for mature audiences. But it's a program that you definitely need to hear because |
| 0:30.3 | this has been an ongoing epidemic in our culture ever since Dr. Dobson began working to fight it back in the 1980s. |
