When parents can’t pay rent, what can happen?

It’s a question with some scary answers, especially for children.

Predators take advantage of children who are in extremely vulnerable situations, offering money, food, or housing in exchange for nude photos or other sex acts. We’ve worked with many kids who want their families to stay together in their home, who find themselves having to make really difficult decisions that no child should have to make.

You may not see child trafficking depicted this way in films but it’s something that we see happening all too frequently.

It is absolutely heartbreaking. It shouldn’t be like this John. It makes me sad, angry, and most of all: motivated.

We have got to stop this. We have to prevent child trafficking before it happens. We must address the systems that are making these children vulnerable. And when trafficking does occur, we have to help survivors heal.

Our Prevention Education and Survivor Care programs are addressing housing insecurity ([link removed]) every day and helping connect youth and their families with resources to protect them from being put in this position. We also have resources equipping youth ([link removed]) and families to stay safer online ([link removed]) . And we’re adding our voices to many others working to hold tech companies accountable ([link removed]) .

April is Child Abuse Prevention Month. We could use your help. The video above is difficult to watch, but if you feel you can, would you watch and share this video today to help raise awareness?
