There’s A Stranger In Your Kid’s Bedroom
Episode 7
Wednesday, 19 November, 2025
Would you drop your kid off in a strange part of town and leave them to find their way home when it gets dark? When you sit at a restaurant and give your kids tech to keep them quiet, you’re doing the very same thing.Tom Arnold, (https://www.idigitaldetective.com), cyber security expert and author of “The Digital Detective: First Intervention“ explains the subtle and not-so-subtle ways strangers infiltrate your child’s life through all the screens and how to realistically work with them to become security savvy. He explains what “tradecraft” is and why it’s important to educate people around it.Some parents ask, why not just take away all tech? No cell phones, no Apple TV, no laptops?

Instead there are more effective ways to monitor for safety (as opposed to control) and build up your relationship at the same time.
