In this gripping episode, we uncover the dark realities of human trafficking with Detective Heidi Chance, an expert with over 27 years in the field. Many believe trafficking is all about abductions and shady strangers, but the truth is far more complex—and much closer to home.
What you’ll learn:
✔️ The key differences between human trafficking and smuggling
✔️ How traffickers use coercion, fraud, and manipulation—not just force
✔️ The shocking truth about online predators and how they groom victims
✔️ Why the average age of entry into trafficking is just 13 years old
✔️ Actionable steps parents can take to protect their children
✔️ How YOU can spot the warning signs and help combat this crisis

Detective Chance also shares insights from her new book, which is designed to help parents have these difficult but necessary conversations with their children.

This episode isn’t just about awareness—it’s about empowerment. Tune in now and join us in the fight against human trafficking.
