Many children are trafficked by members of their own family.
What most people think they know about child sex trafficking generally involves stories – young girls and boys being kidnapped by strangers, forced into windowless vans, then driven to another city or state where they are kept drugged and chained in a brothel. A study analyzing press releases and online media reports from over a nine year period found that fewer than 10 percent of cases involved kidnapping.The rest were far more complicated, far less "Hollywood.
They pose as a friend, offering to meals, gifts, or just a sympathetic ear. In some cases, traffickers may use another young person to befriend and recruit their victims. This recruitment can happen in public places such as malls or sporting events, as well as online, through social media sites, or through false advertisements or promises about job opportunities that might appeal to young people, such as modeling or acting.
Using these methods, over time the trafficker is no longer a stranger, but someone the victim knows and even trusts. They can convince them to show up willingly. This perceived choice in the beginning often results in feelings of shame, guilt, or self-blame for victims and survivors who later try to leave their traffickers.
Being aware of and focusing on the ways in which traffickers gradually lure their victims is critical in recognizing and even preventing situations of sex trafficking. Educate yourself and your child on what human trafficking looks like and common grooming tactics.
