InterceptCSA: The Podcast

Sibling sexual abuse is one of the most hidden and least spoken about forms of harm within the home. In this episode, we begin a careful and necessary conversation about what it looks like when harmful sexual behaviour happens between siblings, specifically when both children are minors. Drawing from real conversations with children, this episode explores why many children never speak up, how fami...

When a child is the one who causes sexual harm, it complicates everything we thought we understood about who needs protection and who needs intervention. It asks us to hold two truths at the same time. That a child was harmed, and that the one who caused the harm is also a child. In this episode we talk about what child on child sexual abuse actually is, why it happens, why it goes undetected in h...

Most of what we believe about who abuses children is wrong, and that wrongness is costing children their safety. In this episode, we dismantle the most persistent myths about child sexual abuse perpetrators, trace how stranger danger and media narratives shaped a picture of the abuser that almost never matches reality, and then answer the question directly: who actually abuses children, what they...

In this closing episode of our disclosure series, we walk alongside caregivers, partners, and families navigating the days after a child’s revelation. We explore ways to respond with care, support loved ones facing guilt and fear, and create a space where healing can begin. Through real-life examples, practical insights, and compassionate guidance, this episode offers understanding and encourageme...

In this episode we explore what it really means when a child leaves their story with you. From the hidden burden mothers often carry, to the silence families wrestle with, to the difficult question of how to tell a partner, this conversation opens up the perspective of the listener and offers both reflection and practical guidance for parents, caregivers, and everyone desiring a safer world for ch...

When a child tells someone they’ve been sexually abused, the world rushes towards making a police report, getting a medical examination, or establishing the legal case. But somewhere in that rush, the child, their shock, their fear, their need for safety, can quietly disappear from the center of the story. In this episode, we strip away the headlines and legal jargon to focus on what a disclosure...

When a child discloses abuse, it rarely sounds like a clear confession. More often, it’s hidden in hints, changes in behavior, coded language, or even silence. In this deeply personal episode, we begin our series on disclosures by exploring the subtle, often-missed ways children reveal abuse, and why so many attempts to tell are ignored, dismissed, or misunderstood. Drawing from a moving volunteer...

What happens when child sexual abuse is not just a moment in time, but a wound that weaves itself into years of silence, shame, and survival? In this raw and reflective episode of Intercept CSA: The Podcast, we explore how time often multiplies the ache of abuse when there’s no space to name it, no language to process it, and no safety to heal from it. Through the courageous voice of Ms. Oge, a su...

What happens after the abuse ends? In this deeply reflective episode, we move beyond the moment of child sexual abuse (CSA) and explore the silent, shape-shifting aftermath that survivors often carry for years, sometimes unknowingly. From anxiety, hypervigilance, and the need to control environments to struggles with parenting, boundaries, intimacy, physical health and voice, this episode traces t...

In this intimate opening to The Impact Series, we explore how child sexual abuse leaves marks that aren’t always visible or spoken. Through personal reflection, a book excerpt, and quiet truth-telling, this episode looks at the kind of impact that hides in what’s missing, the words never said, and the silence that stretches for years. It invites us to recognize that absence, too, is a form of impa...

In this final episode of our “Gaps” series, we explore how modern shifts like digital parenting, economic pressure, toxic masculinity, and hypersexualised culture are affecting child safety. You’ll hear voices across generations answering one question: “What current trends do you fear could harm children in the long run?” It’s layered, honest, and a necessary pause to reflect on where we’re headed...

In this episode, Inimfon continues the conversation on gaps by unpacking how everyday people and communities, often unknowingly, create the very openings abusers exploit. From cultural mindsets to the struggles of survival, we explore how responsibility is outsourced and why that must change.

In this powerful episode, we explore a deeply uncomfortable truth: many times families unknowingly create the very environments where abuse can thrive. Drawing from over a decade of experience working with children and teens, Inimfon breaks down the subtle ways a lack of communication, presence, obedience without accountability and other factors can create gaps for abusers to act. This episode is...

Children may not always tell, but they are transparent. When people are paying attention and know what to look for, abuse is often found sooner rather than later. In this episode, Inimfon takes us through a training for our eyes and our instincts, so we can see how abuse shows up, and the quiet ways children raise their voices without saying a word.

In this episode, Inimfon Sampson explores the heartbreaking, complex reasons why children rarely speak about abuse, and why the people who are supposed to protect them don’t notice until it’s too late. From nervous system shutdowns to cultural conditioning, from misdirected trust to emotional denial, this episode takes a hard look at the invisible forces that allow abuse to hide in plain sight. Th...
