The Evidence Nobody Thought to Ask For: Recognizing Overlooked Digital Information Around Victimization

Technology can create information in places we may never think to ask about. The Evidence Nobody Thought to Ask For is a Her Bridge Collective reference guide examining overlooked digital information that may exist around victimization—including AI conversations, account alerts, synced devices, peer-shared content, transactions, location activity, and other technology-generated records.
The guide focuses on recognition, not forensic collection, and encourages broader questions about the digital environment surrounding an incident. It also highlights an emerging concern: young people may be turning to AI for help before they ever disclose what happened to an adult.
Includes current 2026 research from Thorn and Common Sense Media.
