Join Madonna King and Jon Rouse APM in a fireside chat about how we can protect our children from sexual abuse and exploitation

Madonna King's new book tells the inside story of Taskforce Argos, the renowned Queensland Police team dedicated to prosecuting offenders of online child sexual exploitation and saving children from harm. Collaborating with Jon, Madonna writes about their investigations, from undercover cases to operations on a global scale. She explores what makes a victim and what makes an abuser, and distils the work that goes into bringing down perpetrators. "Saving Our Kids" highlights the dangers lurking in every child's smartphone, web browser, and computer game. It is the story of the tireless work of saving children from the online manipulation that is stealing their innocence, and raises awareness of how we can all protect the children in our lives.

This fireside chat will give deeper meaning to your work in fighting against child sexual exploitation facilitated online, and leave you inspired by the importance of what you do on a daily basis.
