The Harm Spreads in Every Direction
No parent hands their child a smartphone thinking about the day their child might be arrested. But Margot Denommé spent 26 years as a Crown Attorney. She has sat across from those families too, not just the families of victims, but the families of children who sent death threats online, who participated in criminal harassment, who shared explicit content. Children who did not understand what they were doing, or what the consequences were, because no one had ever taught them.

How We Built an Early Education Curriculum for Saint Lucia
How do you build an early education curriculum for Saint Lucia? You don't start with the curriculum. You start by listening. Before a single lesson was written, the team visited 12 early education centers across Saint Lucia to learn directly from educators what they actually wanted and needed. Months of discovery came before a single page of curriculum. You start with trust. Three sensitization workshops brought together administrators from centers across the island, not to t

SEL and Digital Safety Have Always Belonged Together
A child who belongs, who has real relationships and strong self-worth, is far harder to isolate online. A child who understands digital dangers but has no foundation of self-worth is still vulnerable. You need both. Kikori and RAADD made it official with The Whole Me, a Digital Citizenship, Safety and Wellness curriculum. It includes educator training, student experiential lessons on digital footprint, brain development, online safety, mindfulness, and media literacy, plus a

The Message That Fills the Gap
Margot Denommé switches voices mid-sentence, and that is when it lands. On one side is a child who is isolated, who has been scrolling feeds telling her she is not enough. On the other side is a voice that says, "Hi. Oh my gosh I saw your profile, you're gorgeous." Then, quietly, the other side answers back: "Well isn't that awesome, I'm not feeling good about myself." That is the whole mechanism. Not force. Not fear. Just a message arriving at exactly the moment a developing

The Danger Is No Longer at the Front Door
They never have to leave the house. There is no white van. There is no stranger in a park. None of the old warning signs are present: physical proximity, an unfamiliar face, somewhere a child should not be. The predator is in a basement. The child is in her bedroom. The connection is the device on her nightstand, the one she has been told is safe because it is in her room. The old safety lessons were built for a physical world. But the danger our kids face is no longer physic

Building Self Is Like a Concrete Pour
Building a child's sense of self is like a concrete pour. You cannot rush it. You have to get the mixture right, give it time to set, and lay the foundation before any weight goes on it. If the weight goes on before the concrete is ready, it cracks, and the cracks spread. Sixteen is not a punishment. It is engineering. It is giving the foundation time to set before the full weight of comparison, public self-presentation, and algorithmic feedback about who you are gets placed

This Is Our MADD Moment
Drinking and driving was illegal for decades before it actually stopped being common. What changed wasn't the law, it was Mothers Against Drunk Driving. MADD went into schools, told real stories, and made the consequences human and impossible to ignore. The culture shifted because education shifted first. Margot Denommé believes we're standing at that same moment right now, with smartphones and social media. The harms are documented. Predators are operating at industrial scal
