The relentless work of rescuing children from online sexual abuse

The relentless work of rescuing children from online sexual abuse

Father of two, Filmmaker and director of The Children in The Pictures, Akhim Dev joins us for this episode.

He was granted unprecedented access to TASKFORCE ARGOS, a Queensland Police team who are world leaders in rescuing children from online sexual abuse and catching the perpetrators like Shannon McCoole, a South Australian child protection worker revealed to be a child-sex offender and the administrator of a paedophile chat board with 45,000 members.


This intense and relentless and vicarious trauma is real for the officers who do this work, and also Dev.


But their goal is saving children and Task Force Argos has rescued thousands of children from their abusers.
