In this episode, we talk with Amy Liss of Campus Integrity Group about her work in preventing and investigating sexual misconduct. She explains the small, innocuous way that sexual misconduct often begins, and walks us through the warning signs we might see in a child who is being groomed.
Amy provides concrete tips that parents can put into practice today to help keep their children safe, and shares one important detail she wishes more parents understood about grooming. With a personal drive to inform and educate without spreading fear, Amy explains how she maintains that balance as a mom herself.
This session was originally recorded on 5/28/26 for NPN's podcast, Chicago Style Parenting.
Amber Nesbitt and Amy Liss, founders of Campus Integrity Group, bring over 12 years of combined experience leading the Sexual Allegations Unit in the Chicago Public Schools Office of Inspector General. There, they personally conducted or oversaw more than 20,000 staff, student, and witness interviews in more than 2,500 cases involving K-12 sexual misconduct.
After repeatedly seeing schools struggle to handle serious allegations without the right expertise, they founded Campus Integrity Group to fill that gap, offering specialized, independent support that combines investigative depth, trauma-informed practice, and a thorough understanding of the legal frameworks governing schools.
Amber and Amy bring firsthand knowledge of the unique pressures and complexities school leaders face. This uniquely positions Campus Integrity Group to support schools through investigations, training, and compliance reviews with the care, objectivity, and precision these situations demand.
