How safe are your children online?

In this powerful episode of The Tudor Dixon Podcast, Tudor Dixon sits down with Michael Villani, founder of Predator Poachers Long Island, to uncover the disturbing reality of online child exploitation and the predators hiding behind social media profiles. After recently helping expose a Meta engineer accused of attempting to exploit what he believed was a 13-year-old girl, Villani explains how his organization identifies suspected predators, works alongside law enforcement, and helps bring dangerous offenders to justice.

Michael pulls back the curtain on how online grooming really works, why predators often seek out children through popular apps, and the excuses they make when confronted. He also discusses the legal challenges investigators face, why some offenders receive surprisingly light sentences, and how parents can recognize warning signs before it's too late.
