But consistently showing up for Aubrey* made a real difference in the aftermath of familial trafficking. From long drives, supportive conversations, and goal setting, to calling to get through a triggering moment—she’s doing the work of healing. Love146 is walking alongside kids like Aubrey each day.

| | How to Help Youth Out of Sextortion
When a kid is exploited in this way, it can feel completely overwhelming. They can feel like their life is over. Fear, shame, and panic can make them believe there’s no way out. As the adult they trust, you have the chance to remind them: this is one moment of their life. It’s incredibly tough right now, but it’s something they can work through. This won’t define them.
