Sextortion, Revenge Porn, and Protecting Our Kids with Lindsay Lieberman
Today, we’re diving into a topic that’s becoming terrifyingly common: sextortion and revenge porn—especially how these crimes impact teens and tweens.
As our kids are spending more time online than ever before, the risks they face are evolving—often faster than we can keep up.
The numbers are staggering. Reports of sextortion have increased by 322% in recent years, with many cases involving minors between the ages of 10-17. These crimes target young people through social media, gaming apps, and messaging platforms, leaving victims feeling scared, ashamed, and isolated.
Our guest today is Lindsay Lieberman, an attorney, advocate, and the founder of the Lieberman Law Firm. She specializes in helping victims of digital abuse, including sextortion, revenge porn, and online harassment. Lindsay is here to break down what every parent needs to know to protect their kids—and how we can empower young people to navigate the digital world safely.
From mental health and managing relationships to raising changemakers and advocating for support, freemom is a podcast dedicated to ensuring that every mom feels heard.
