Episode Description
Cindy George lost her son to suicide after he became the victim of sextortion. Sextortion is a crime that involves adults coercing kids and teens into sending explicit images online.  Now Cindy is on a mission to protect other families through education and awareness. She shares her family’s story, the warning signs every parent should know, and the advocacy work she’s taken on after unimaginable loss. Brandy Vega with Promise2Live, previews tonight's Safe Tech Emergency Town Hall — a community push to confront sextortion, digital exploitation, and technology‑driven threats to Utah’s teens. We discuss prevention, resources, and how parents can stay ahead of rapidly evolving online dangers.
