47: Protecting Every Child from Abuse - Sam Young

How do you turn a personal mission into a nationwide movement? In this episode of the Finding Strength Podcast, Sam Young shares his compelling journey from focusing on protecting Mormon children to advocating for the safety of every child. Initially driven by scandals within his own religious community, Sam soon realized that child abuse is a universal issue demanding immediate action. His organization, Protect Every Child, calls on parents and governments alike to implement robust child protection policies.

Sam’s story is one of relentless advocacy, where he underscores the need for grassroots change and the power of collective voices. He opens up about his own experiences with untrained interviews and the damaging effects of inappropriate questioning on children. Despite facing significant opposition, Sam's message remains steadfast: we must all stand up and shout from the mountaintops that child abuse must end.

This episode is a powerful reminder of the impact one person can make and a call to action for us all to protect our children.
