Former Tusc Against Trafficking coordinator MacKrea Larue joins Robin Bowdish on this episode to discuss the dynamics of labor trafficking in our community. With years of knowledge and experience, MacKrea brings information that explains how traffickers execute control over their victims. These stories will change how you view labor-trafficked people and the life they're experiencing right here within our community.

Labor trafficking is very prevalent in Tuscarawas County and the surrounding areas. This type of trafficking largely affects our Guatemalan population. Listen to this episode to better understand the situation for Guatemalans living in our community.

One thing to keep in mind as you listen is this: for many Guatemalans, coming to America to be human trafficked is better than living in Guatemala. Just consider a situation where you would rather be trafficked in another country than live in your own country. Now that's an eye-opening and scary situation.

Also, learn why children in the foster care system are at risk for labor trafficking and how we can help support these children as they grow and mature.
