Are you aware of the hidden dangers lurking behind your child's screen time? Are you wondering how to keep kids safe in an increasingly connected world? These questions are at the heart of today's critical conversation with my guest, Jenelle Gaynor. We discuss human trafficking and the vital role the internet plays in it, especially when it comes to children.
Jenelle shares her expertise from years of anti-trafficking efforts through her voluntary work and leading an action team at her church. We navigate through the unsettling realities of human trafficking—that most victims are trafficked by those they know and trust—and how traffickers use grooming methods that leave victims unaware of what’s happening to them. This episode is essential for anyone committed to safeguarding children and promoting awareness to prevent trafficking.
Just some reasons to listen to the entire episode:
- Discover why it’s a misconception to think trafficking is only a foreign issue and learn the alarming statistics and truths about domestic trafficking.
- Practical tips for parents to maintain open dialogues with their children, particularly regarding online activity and screen time.
- How modeling healthy behavior and discussing personal boundaries can protect children.
- Ensuring your child feels heard and stepping into our own involvement in the community can make a significant difference.
And so much more!
