Are our children truly safe?
In this episode, I sit down with Amanda Altman, CEO of Kristi House in Miami-Dade County, to talk about the alarming rise in child abuse and human trafficking—and what we can do to stop it.
Amanda pulls back the curtain on the harsh realities of child sexual abuse, human trafficking, and the $150 billion industry targeting vulnerable children. She shares staggering statistics—like how 1 in 4 girls and 1 in 6 boys will be sexually assaulted before they turn 18—and explains why prevention education, community involvement, and parental awareness are more critical than ever, especially with the rise of online exploitation.
Kristi House provides comprehensive, long-term support for survivors through trauma therapy, advocacy, and healing-centered care, while confronting the shortcomings of the current legal and law enforcement systems.
