We know this can be a hard conversation, but it's critical in order to protect our children from the very real threats and predators. You might think that trafficking is something that is distant or would not affect your area or town. But as you'll learn from today's guest, Rosalia Rivera, the abuse and trafficking of children occurs mostly in plain sight, in areas near and around you.

But this episode is not to put you in fear; in fact, it's to empower you to have specific ACTIONS to take, whether your kids are 2 or already up to teens. 

You will hear:

  • The difference between human trafficking and sexual abuse of children

  • What it means to teach "consent" to children, and conversations to have from parent to child

  • What age you can start having these conversations about body autonomy and consent

  • 3 specific ways to protect children from online predators or exploitation

  • 3 specific ways to protect children from local threats, even that can occur in their clubs, sports activities, and sleepovers with neighbors

  • Conversations to start with your local community, their schools, and daycares, 

  • And so much more. All of it is sobering and somewhat shocking that we have to think about this, but we DO
