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.

Hi Julie, 

Thank you for posting these resources. I haven't been able to access the webinar. After entering the password the page never loads. Is there any other way to access the recording? 

Thanks in advance. 

Best, 

Shawna

Thanks Julie for sharing this publication. Congratulations!

I am a facilitator of participatory approach in research and evaluation. One aspect I reflect on is the idea of ownership. who 'owns' the process? For eg who is collecting data for whom? 

Would love to hear your views on this.
