Summary
Sex trafficking may not be what you think it is. Trafficking is currently at a peak because of Coronavirus and some of the main culprits are social media sites like TikTok, OnlyFans and Sugar Baby websites. There are more young girls online with less supervision.
When we think of trafficking, we often imagine men shipping women across countries, but that's a common misconception. The majority of trafficking typically happens in a woman's (or man's) own hometown.
On today's episode, Nic McKinley - Ex-CIA agent and current head of the non-profit Deliverfund organized to stop sex trafficking shares his insight about this horrific problem in our society. He discusses the importance of getting to the root of the issue and finding the head of the web of traffickers, rather than dealing with the aftermath.
Nic McKinley shares about how you can keep your loved ones safe from trafficking and how parents can wisely guide their children to stay away from the dangers of the internet - that are much more accessible than we may think.
