Marissa trusted her best friend for 15 years. Then that friend stole photos of Marissa’s baby, posted them online as her own, sent them to strangers and even invented a fake birth story. It’s called “digital kidnapping,” it’s exploding right now, and it could happen to any parent who posts photos of their kids. Marissa joins me to share her story, and I’ll tell you how to lock down your family’s photos before someone else claims them.


Plus, a 12-year-old girl goes viral for building an AI receptionist app. The robots are officially here: One cleans your house, another will be your dancing wedding date for $500 an hour. And Sarah found the love of her life on Hinge with one sneaky trick. She changed her location. Turns out romance really is in the city of love.


Also this week: School laptops never stop watching your kids, home sellers spy on buyers, and a listener wants AI to help tackle his wife’s $120K cancer bills.
