Mike Weber is a recently retired detective and current educator of Munchausen By Proxy. Maybe you have heard of the Gypsy Rose case? If not, Munchausen By Proxy is a mental illness and a form of child abuse. The caretaker of a child, knowingly, most often a mother, either makes up fake symptoms or causes real symptoms to make it look like the child is sick. Some of these cases result in deaths. What drives people to do this? How common is it? And how hard is it to investigate, prosecute and convict? Find more information on Munchausen by Proxy and Mikes work here.

subscribe to Transgression On October 1, the first 3 episodes of my new documentary podcast series Transgression - My search for the REAL trans agenda in Saskatchewan comes out. Please have a listen to the trailer and follow the show for fresh downloads. Since 2023 the Premier of Saskatchewan, Scott Moe, and his government have set their sights on the trans community, specifically trans youth . With the creation of the controversial Bill 137 and Moe’s comments during the last provincial election, I had questions. So as a white, cisgendered, straight man, I wanted to find out what the trans agenda in Saskatchewan really is. During my search of over six months, I interviewed queer, religious and 2 spirited leaders, mental health and legal experts, health care providers, teachers, politicians, parents, and trans adults and youth. In each episode I share some of these conversations regarding specific issues for trans people in Saskatchewan. You may be surprised to hear what I discovered and what I feel is the real trans agenda in Saskatchewan.   To support this project and others like it please consider making a donation HERE.

This episode was originally released on March 3 2024 In March of 2022 Jenn’s son Jordan took his own life after being catfished online and sextorted. Sextortion, or sexual extortion, occurs when an online actor threatens to release a victim's intimate photos or videos for financial gain. These people tend to target youth between the ages of 14 and 24. In Jordan’s case his culprits were caught, but very few are. Almost always, the guilty party is overseas. There have been multiple teens taking their lives in very similar situations as Jordan’s in Canada and the US. What should young people know about the dangers of sextortion? What can we do as parents? And what are social media outlets doing about it?

She applied to be MAiD ( medical assistance in dying) for her mental illness. Canada passed Bill C-39 in January allowing people to apply for MAiD for mental health reasons, only to withdrawal the bill a month later. Agata has applied for MAiD but is now in limbo waiting for the government to pass the bill once again. We discuss why Agata applied and her experience with anorexia.
