CONTENT WARNING - language warning, discussing grooming, child sexual abuse, long term abuse and sexual assault
In this episode, Kristi talks with Mel James, lived experience child sexual abuse survivor and advocate for First Nations women enduring systems abuse. Mel talks about her personal experience with grooming and child sexual abuse, by a person in authority, who used their position of power in the community to get close to her and her family to abuse her. Mel's abuse lasted more than 10 years and was witnessed by other adults who could have protected her.
This is an in-depth conversation about the complex nature of grooming and abuse, and how it can leave lifelong impacts for children along with raising concerns about the conduct and beliefs of supposed 'safe' adults and their lack of action and advocacy for children when it's their job to do so.
