For #HumanTraffickingAwarenessDay, join us today at 1pm EST on our Facebook page (@missingkids) for an in-depth discussion on breaking down the myths of child sex trafficking!
Child sex trafficking is happening in rural, suburban, urban and tribal lands. Understanding trafficking is the key to fighting it, learn more: https://t.co/kpwstmmvys
1 in 6 reports to NCMEC of children who ran away in 2020 were likely victims of sex trafficking. According to @1800RUNAWAY, traffickers may approach homeless youth by pretending to be helpful by offering food, shelter, or clothing. Learn more: https://t.co/NEyoXaz1Zj #NRPM2021
Black, Native American, and multiracial children are disproportionately represented among children reported missing to NCMEC. Effective prevention efforts must include materials developed for communities of color and other cultures. Representation matters. #NRPM2021
Did you know that every year 4.4 million young people experience some form of homelessness? Visit NCMEC’s partner @1800Runaway to get involved, take action, and make a difference! #NRPM2021

Great work @FairfaxCountyPD!
And thank you for using child sexual abuse material (CSAM) over ‘child pornography.’ It’s time to change the narrative and call it what it is.

A9. It may be more helpful to focus on “Don’t SPREAD them”- the images are private, and you don’t have the right to share someone else’s image without consent. #NCAPM
A7. “Monitoring” and “Checking in” are different. We encourage parents to check in with kids about their online lives the same way they would about their school or offline lives. “What’d you learn at school today?” “What’s going on online?”. #NCAPM
Child exploitation happens on every platform. Talk to your child about the dangers of posting personal details or content online. Regular conversations about online safety can go a long way in increasing trust and communication. #NCAPM
@MissingKids A5. Adverse Childhood Experiences can have a lasting impact on physical and emotional health. If you have experienced trauma, it isn’t your fault and there are people who do want to help. #traumainformed#therapy#mentalhealth#NCAPM
