A Former Detective on Keeping Children Safe
About this episode
Emmy discusses child safety with former detective Kristi McVee, focusing on essential conversations parents need to have with their children.
Keeping our kids safe is not just about stranger danger. In this episode of Things Nobody Tells You, Emmy sits down with former police detective and child safety educator Kristi McVee for a practical and important conversation about the everyday safety conversations every parent needs to have. From body autonomy and safe adults to online safety, sleepovers, consent, disclosure and what to do when something feels off, Kristi shares what she learned from years working closely with children, families and offenders. This is not about scaring children. It is about giving them language, confidence and a clear path back to us. Because child safety is not one big conversation. It is many small ones, repeated often, in the everyday moments where our kids learn: you can tell me anything, and I will listen.
