In this episode of the David vs. Goliath Podcast, Stan Gipe and Matt Dolman, Attorneys of Dolman Law Group based in Clearwater, FL, are joined by Sara Beller, a member of Dolman Law Group, to discuss the realities of institutional abuse cases involving foster care systems, schools, youth programs, and sports organizations.
Sara shares insights from her background prosecuting sex crimes and explains how systemic failures within institutions can allow abuse to continue unchecked. The conversation covers warning signs parents should watch for, why many victims stay silent, the challenges survivors face when coming forward, and how evolving laws may still give survivors legal options years later.
This episode also explores the importance of recognizing grooming behaviors, trusting instincts when something feels wrong, and creating environments where children feel safe speaking up.
