In this powerful episode of the Savage Perspective Podcast, a shocking truth is revealed: your child is more likely to be targeted online than on the street. Host Robert Sikes sits down with Nate Lewis, a former Hollywood insider turned child trafficking abolitionist, to uncover the dark digital world where predators hunt. Episode 832 exposes how social media algorithms can lead these monsters directly to your kids, what they do to gain trust, and the one conversation every parent must have to make their child a hard target. This is the untold story of modern child exploitation that most parents are completely unaware of.
