*Trigger Warning*

This episode discusses child sexual abuse and trafficking. Please take care of yourself while watching.

Child sex trafficking isn’t a Hollywood thriller or QAnon fanfic — it’s kids we’ve already failed: runaway youth, foster kids, homeless youth, queer and trans kids, and children living with abuse at home.

In this episode of Radical Leftist Scum, we walk through what the data actually says about missing and exploited children, how kids really get pulled into trafficking rings (family abuse, the “boyfriend” pipeline, homelessness and survival sex, online grooming, and victims being forced to recruit other kids), and what survival and escape look like for children, sometimes called "second generation victims", born into trafficking networks.

We also dig into why most people don’t see what’s right in front of them, and what real help looks like: survivor‑led organizations, long‑term trauma‑informed support, safe housing, and policies that make fewer kids disposable in the first place.

If you care about “saving the children,” this is where that outrage needs to go.
