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.

Said Rupinder Kaur, " I will use SALT in my work with medical colleges both in planning and monitoring. It will provide richer data and engage the people I work with. We focus too much on quantitative aspects and ignore the stories of the people."
Mir Bilal, "I think that Government officers can better apply SALT because of their day to day dealing with Subordinates and public. By appreciation of our subordinates they can work better, listening to them and will boost their morale...to approach like human beings will stimulate them , they will also apply SALT in their life and the day will come everyone will get his or her value and also better outputs."

Here is a comment from Jan Somers, SALT facilitator from Belgium. Thanks Jan!
A generative evaluation based on an appreciative dialogue helps people to see evaluation as an essential part of moving forward and them to take steps. The auto evaluation process with 5 levels towards dream realisation is such an example of generative evaluation. Much more powerful than a job satisfaction measurement
