# Protecting Child Dignity: A Conversation on the Son Rise Morning Show

![](http://catholicmom.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/CM-on-SRMS.jpg) On a recent episode of the [Son Rise Morning Show](http://sonrisemorningshow.com/), we discussed the “Promoting Child Digital Dignity” Conference that was held in Rome last week. The event was partially hosted by the Pontifical Academy of Social Sciences and Pope Francis addressed the attendees. We talked about some of the pope's comments and why this topic is important for the Church.  We also considered these topics:

- What are some of the concrete actions that technology companies might take to protect children from abuse and exploitation?
-  Is there anything that we, as parents and families of children, can do to protect them in our own communities?
