Astha Ramaiya [Co-author] Shared the Journal Article - Published in Child Abuse & Neglect, June 2026

A new systematic review published in Child Abuse & Neglect examined the link between mental health and technology-facilitated child sexual exploitation and abuse (TF-CSEA). Analysing 10 studies with over 25,000 participants across seven countries, researchers found that depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, and prior trauma were consistently associated with victimisation. Crucially, the relationship appears bidirectional with mental health difficulties both preceding and resulting from exploitation; creating potential cycles of repeated harm. Perhaps most striking: traditional parental monitoring through technological surveillance showed limited protective effects. What actually mattered? The quality of parent-child relationships including, open communication, emotional warmth, and trust. The findings suggest prevention efforts should combine universal school-based programmes building emotional resilience with targeted support for high-risk youth, while parent education should prioritise connection over control. With 12.5% of children globally experiencing online solicitation annually, understanding these psychological pathways is essential for effective child protection.

project follow-up method (Expert evaluation needed)

Hello everyone,

I just finished writing my MSc thesis on project follow+up method based on the RBM framework. The method is to be used for both ongoing and completed projects. The idea is to evaluate changes in inputs and outputs at different points of a project life cycle.

I am however required to have the method evaluated by experts for learneability, understaandibility and rigour. 

Will anyone of you be able to help me with this? I have summarised the introduction and evaluation criteria in two pages.

Do let me know if you can help me with this.

Thanks

Gideon

Here is a response 

Dear Rituu,

Great to hear from you and thanks for facilitating the peer-review of this tool.
However, I opened the two-page PDF document mentioned in your post and I found it really difficult to provide some valuable feedback to the MSc student in question, based on some very generic description of the RBM literature which he based his work on. It is important that he shares his artifact (that is, the actual tool) if he wants to receive a constructive feedback and that, before doing it, he also targets some scholars and field implementers (e.g., those whose names he may have come across in the course of his research/prior professional experience). 
Mine is just a humble contribution to this discussion and my intention is to make sure that the student who worked on this follow-up tool will benefit from a sound peer-review (e.g., receiving some appropriate and competent feedback).
Best of luck to Gideon and all the other talented Africans who are currently completing their university degrees both within and outside of Africa!
Best,
Michele

Dear Gideon 

I think this method is great, as unless input and processes are in place the outputs, outcomes and impact cannot be achieved. 

I am interested in evaluating this method from the lens of learnability, understanding and rigour; as well as gender and equity
