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.

New podcast holds up Indigenous voices on climate change
https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/north/tlicho-indigenous-podcast-clim...
A new podcast is bringing together Indigenous perspectives on climate change and decolonization.
"If we're doing research, talking about the land, asking those kinds of investigative questions, how can we do that with an approach that honours the way those original landscape stories were told orally, through storytelling and through story listening."
In his years of exposure and experience on the land, Zoe says listening to elders has been crucial; they can provide "layers of information" from Tłı̨chǫ history to the present. He said that's especially true with place names, which have become a navigational tool.
"It's like the land is talking to you because if they see a place and describe what it means or what happened in that area … it's like it's written on the landscape and the only way to read it is to go out."
Zoe said society today is focused on "western knowledge," but the podcast brings listeners to the "natural classroom."
Zoe says the Tłı̨chǫ are combating that vacuum by doing their own research in their own way — boots on the ground, observing things like weather and wind, and drawing on historical knowledge.

Hi Ian, reading your blog again. Very useful as I begin work with indigenous communities -design, implementation, measurement and research- all led by the community. Thanks.

Hi Ian,
Your post made my day:-)
Thanks for drawing attention to this valuable work. Very much need if we truly want 'no one left behind'. I have been facilitating community-owned research for a long time. I think not only indigenous but communities and citizens when take ownership in research they develop critical thinking and it also stimulate action based on evidence.
Goebel et al (2019) " Through stakeholder involvement in the research process, a democratisation of knowledge takes place, not remaining limited to a small circle of researchers but being created and shared in a larger group of those involved, who decide together about the urgency and focus of the subject."
