Show Notes:
It’s imperative that we monitor our children's social media, the internet access they have, their cell phones, and chat with them about the dangers out there. We need to know who they are hanging out with, and educate ourselves on what’s happening in our world. You know the drill. All good things.
What happens when we are not with our child though?... or we’ve completed the lists... We’ve checked off all the boxes in the trafficking 101 class... We’ve done everything we could possible do, read, research, google and gather... and still don’t feel confident that our kids are safe.
“Raising kids in a sex trafficked world” is a deeper look at the future our kids are facing and how to prepare them to not only survive the oncoming onslaught of sexual advances, sexting requests, pornography, abductors, and exploiters; but to fearlessly conquer their world and fight back against trafficking.
