Publisher's Summary
The crime of sextortion has reached epidemic proportions, fuelled by both sex offenders and organised scammers targeting our most vulnerable online. Children are some of the internet's most prolific and most naive users, and increasing numbers are finding themselves caught in an evil web of networked manipulators.
Up to 70 percent of all new sexual exploitation content online is victim-produced, and much of it follows the same script. An adult abuser tricks a child into thinking they are a peer, the child produces the content themselves and the abuser then blackmails their victim - for money or for more content. It's a script well-known to Detective Inspector Jon Rouse, who, for three decades, headed up Taskforce Argos, the expert arm of Queensland Police dedicated to hunting down online predators and rescuing children from abuse. In collaboration with Rouse, Madonna King tells the story of their investigations, from undercover cases to operations on a global scale, exploring what makes a victim and what makes an abuser, and distils the work that goes into bringing down perpetrators.
Saving Our Kids highlights the dangers lurking in every child's smartphone, web browser and computer game. It is the story of the tireless work of saving children from the online manipulation that is stealing their innocence, and raises awareness on how we can all protect the children in our lives.

Truth telling at its finest.
I initially read this book after listening to a podcast about the Dark Web that had mentioned the work of Task Force Argos.
This isn’t a light book; it pulls back the heavy, unforgettable shades on the exploitation of children in all corners of the globe. The stories are real and heartbreaking.
It has practical tips for parents regarding phone usage and children, as well as the reality of the thought process and damage pedophiles can have on young people. The advice is coming from the people who are seeing the absolute worst outcome and want the community to do better.
It’s well written, well performed, and will leave you more educated about a topic that we are all capable of being touched by.
Whilst the topic is heavy, it was great to hear about the amazing work the courageous police people experience everyday. It left me feeling more grateful for them than ever before.
100% would recommend.
