*Warning* Sensitive and graphic information on the topic of sex trafficking and child exploitation is shared in this podcast episode. Parents are advised to use discretion in sharing this information with children.

In this video, we share important facts about the dark and dangerous world of human trafficking. We discuss how parents can protect their kids from criminals and predators, both online and in real life.

Talking with us in this episode is Susette Valdez, who has been actively working in the Anti-Human Trafficking field for over 10 years. Susette has worked as a caregiver in a safe house, case manager, director of a drop-in center and now plays an intricate role in advocating for survivors as they rebuild their lives and take hold of their future endeavors. As a member of the Human Trafficking task force and various coalitions in both Miami-Dade and Broward county, she works hand in hand with various law enforcement agencies to ensure survivors are receiving the wrap around care they need.

Together her and host Mary Alessi share the frightening but important facts that can help bring solutions to human trafficking, save more victims from this horrible industry, and protect our children from harm.

If you are in danger or have been impacted by human trafficking, please call the Human Trafficking Hotline - 888-373-7888
