Episode 1 of the ‘What is Sex Trafficking?’ video series is up now! Head over to my #YouTube channel to watch the first episode and the educational tool!

"Examples of social media posts that draw the attention of a trafficker include expressions of fear, emptiness and disappointment, such as: "Nobody gets me." ... "I am so sick of being single." "I am so ugly." "How do I look?" "My life sucks." "She's not my true friend." "My parents don't trust me." "I'm being treated like a kid." "I need to get out of here." Predators look for indicators of substance abuse, runaway activity and destabilization within the home. A trafficker's strategic response includes: "I understand you." "I love you." "I think you're beautiful. I'll encourage you to show your body. Use your body." "I'll make your life better." "I'll encourage you to take risks. You're an adult." "I'll protect you." "I'll make you successful." "
