Shortcut: What you need to know to keep your child safe online

This is a "Shortcut" episode. It’s a shortened version of this week’s more detailed full episode, which is also available on our feed. 

We return this episode with our guests Jon Rouse APM and Akhim Dev, answering your questions about the fight against online exploitation of children.

Akhim Dev is the creator of The Children In the Pictures, a documentary and podcast that looks into the amazing and unrelenting work of members at Task Force Argos, of which Jon Rouse was a founding member of. 

For those not in the know, Task Force Argos is a world renowned branch of the Queensland police force responsible for the investigation of online child exploitation and abuse, which you can learn more about from our previous episode.

Akhim Dev's documentary "The Children in the Pictures" can be viewed on SBS On Demand. His podcast of the same name is also available wherever you listen to your podcasts.

We implore you to make a report to https://www.esafety.gov.au/ if you or a child you know has been abused online.
