Episode 1 – The Major and the Manifesto: Grooming ExposedDescription:When a CyberTip leads investigators to the home of an Air Force major, the discovery isn’t just shocking — it’s a window into how predators think. Buried on one of his devices was a 172-page handbook, a so-called guide to manipulating children. It outlined, step by step, how to gain trust, create secrecy, and escalate to abuse.In this episode of Chasing Shadows, host Sean Lacy breaks down that case and uses it to expose the process of grooming. What it is, why it works, and — most importantly — how parents can prepare their children to resist it.Grooming isn’t random. It’s deliberate. But it’s also preventable, if you know the signs.
