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.

Dear Mark
Yes I agree that one of the key message- not on the slide- is to assess whether and how institutions and norms have changed in favour of women and oppressed groups, and not so much what program does.
I have added a slide to my the ppt complete. Would be grateful to have your email to send it to you
You have a sharp eye and brain!!!
Warmth
Ranjani

I attended this talk and was both impressed and motivated to apply some of these methods in my own work. One of my favorite messages from the presentation that isn't listed on the slides was the notion that if we are interested in seeing changes to systems and root causes, we should focus more on evaluating how programs have impacted systems, and where more effort is needed, rather than focusing so much on the details of what the program does. Programs will continue adapting to what is necessary for the context, but can only do so effectively if we keep evaluating the context.
