Kids who are homeless/runaways, African American or Latino, LGBTQIA+ and youth interacting with the #childwelfare system are more vulnerable to #exploitation and #ChildSexTrafficking.

SEX TRAFFICKING HAPPENS TO BOYS TOO.

There’s no way to know how prevalent #sexualexploitation of boys truly is, because we as a society have so far to go in making space for boys to understand and share that they’ve been victimized.

Sex trafficking is highly personal.

Despite the explosion of concern – some of it fueled by misinformation – about complex child sex trafficking schemes and kidnappings, data shows victims usually know and trust their traffickers.

#TraffickingHappensHere #TraffickingHappensPA

[traffickinghappenspa @traffickingpa]

Often, a trafficker is someone who is known by the victim, possibly through an acquaintance or family member or a new online friend or love interest.
Through these false relationships, traffickers identify the needs of their victims.

Sex trafficking is often confused with human smuggling which involves illegal border crossings.
However, the crime of #sextrafficking does not require any movement whatsoever.
Victims can be recruited & trafficked in their own neighborhoods & homes.
