New episode of Perfect Prey: A Coercive Control Podcast.

I’m joined by David Challen, author of The Unthinkable, to explore coercive control through the eyes of a child—how fear, humiliation, and psychological domination become normalized inside families, even without visible violence.

This conversation speaks to clinicians, legal professionals, protective parents, and adult child survivors seeking clarity around coercive control and its long-term impact.

What are the character traits of predators? What are trauma reactions of victims-survivors? What are the traumatic implications for children suffering cc (child abuse)? And how all too often family court professionals miss it or diminish or dismiss it.

Texas Judicial Education Annual Conference discussing coercive control as the underpinning of all abuse - we must look beyond the violent incident model.

@AmandaAgainstDA Never a co parent always a predatory parent

Coercive control doesn’t always leave bruises, but it leaves deep scars. The tragedy of Jennifer Dulos reminds us why awareness and legislation like #JennifersLaw are critical.”

It was never about you not being “good enough.”
It was about control, blame, and keeping you small so they didn’t have to change.

[Laila Mickelwait @LailaMickelwait]

27 lawsuits have been filed by victims against P*rnhub since 2020 — this includes class actions on behalf of tens of thousands of child victims. They incurred over $100 million in legal fees so far.

P*rnhub lost Visa, Mastercard, Discover and PayPal + all mainstream advertisers. Over 91% of the content on the site was taken down, and the company value dropped by over 65-75%. The whole parent company was sold as a distressed asset.

They paid 1.8 million to the US DOJ for criminal charges of intentionally profiting from trafficking. (More criminal prosecution should be coming soon.)

👆👆This is a strategy we can use to stop corporate traffickers —Increase RISK and eliminate profitability. Change the financial dynamics to disincentivize profiting from sexual crime. Make consequences outweigh any benefits they get by maintaining the status quo. Make them pay to the full extent of the law.

Severe financial and criminal consequences will deter future abusers.

I dunno man, whenever I see charities having to do skydives to raise money for their already vital services… it just makes me feel like society has failed.

Humans have to literally throw themselves out of an aeroplane to raise a few grand to keep vital services going for a few more months, that should be centrally funded anyway?

It’s just… wrong.

[Shadows of Control @shadows_control]

Abuse often doesn’t “look like” what we expect. Many survivors only recognize it after validation from others.

Who exactly is coming to #familycourt ? It's not high income families, in fact, it's largely families who are struggling to stay afloat. Meanwhile, the judges who make lifelong decisions impacting these families are from the most wealthy and privileged backgrounds

Narcissism & coercive control often hide in plain sight.

@CultExpert The BITE Model is powerful and I use it when I discuss children living under the regime of a predatory parent…like a cult leader.
