Pt 2: Matt Acton on what it’s like to have your child targeted by an online predator

Big tech is under fire for failing to protect Aussie kids from online sexual abuse, including a sharp rise in sextortion and abuse via video calls and livestreams.

Reports to the Australian Federal Police jumped 41% last year, showing just how fast the problem is growing.

In part two of this deep dive, Sacha Barbour Gatt chats with Brisbane radio host Matt Acton, a dad whose son was targeted by an online sextortion scam, on what he wishes he’d done differently and what parents need to know.

If you need help, you can call Lifeline on 13 11 14 or reach out to 1800 RESPECT.
