If you have teenage sons, this conversation needs to make it to your family dinner table
from The Smerconish Podcast · host Michael Smerconish, Brandon Guffey
The FBI is warning that sexual extorsion schemes, or "sextortion", targeting underage boys are leading to an alarming increase in suicides of teenage boys. This happens when a scammer threatens and coerces a minor into sending sending sexually explicit photographs through social media. Today, Michael speaks with South Carolina State Representative Brandon Guffey, who's 17-year-old son Gavin died by suicide in 2022, after being a victim of 'sextortion.' This is a heartbreaking story to hear, but it brings forward an important conversation one must have with their kids to protect them. Original air date 10 March 2023.
