What if everything you thought you knew about human trafficking was wrong?
In this powerful episode, I sit down with Erin Williamson, a national expert in child trafficking prevention and survivor care, to reveal the truth about how trafficking really happens — and what parents, educators, and caregivers must know to protect the children in their lives.
You’ll learn:
How traffickers use grooming and manipulation — not abduction
Why many victims still attend school and appear "normal"
The critical role of technology and online platforms
Warning signs adults often miss
What to say to your child so they see you as a safe person
How to create tech boundaries that actually work
Erin also shares real-life stories and practical tips from her work at Love146.org, an organization dedicated to ending child trafficking and supporting survivors.
