"Child Trafficking" is an unfortunate thing we hear about in the headlines, and the nightmarish thoughts of a child being snatched off the street by foreign nationals come to a lot of minds... But that couldn't be further from the truth! Believe it or not, Child Trafficking is happening right under parents' noses, inside their own HOMES -- and in some cases, inside schools! Believe it or not, our children are now more accessible to people wanting to do them harm -- all thanks to the internet and social media in this post-pandemic world. 

Nicole sits down with Tammy Sneed, who is the Director of Connecticut's Human Anti-Trafficking Response Team. She explains why it's so CRUCIAL that parents, caregivers, and teachers acknowledge that "Child Trafficking" exists and also highlights the signs to be on the lookout for, and what you should do if you believe a child is being targeted. As you know, our kids are steps ahead of us when it comes to social media and the internet; so this episode will arm you with helpful information so we can protect our children from being the next victim of these 'bad actors'.
