In early 2016, Rob once again took his hitchhiking thumb and fridge and travelled from San Fransisco to New York.

THE CURRENT PROJECT
OUR KIDS ONLINE: PORN, PREDATORS & HOW TO KEEP THEM SAFE ONLINE
Rob and Zareen are a blended family with four children between them aged ten to sixteen. Two years ago they had been researching the pros and cons of children having handheld devices. Their research led them to some shocking discoveries, in particular, around children's exposure to online pornography and predators.
They discovered that children, from all walks of life and from very young ages, are accessing pornography either by accident, through curiosity or by being shown it by other children. At home, at school, during playdates, and in other places with access to free WiFi. The exposure is causing a multitude of issues for different age groups.
And it's not just what our children seeing online, but also who is seeing them; the online world of predators.
The more they spoke to parents and tried to find easy to follow, practical solutions, they more they realised the extent overwhelm and confusion like their own.
So they decided to continue their research, spend time with, talk to and interview experts, professionals, organisations and communities in New Zealand, the USA and Australia. In April 2020 they released their documentary 'Our Kids Online: Porn, Predators and How to Keep Them Safe' as a tool to help parents understanding the world our kids are living in and show them those badly needed practical solutions.
In addition to the documentary, they have created this website to collate different resources they have come across doing their work so far, and provide these to parents in a one-stop shop.
