The selling of people, human trafficking, is the fastest growing criminal enterprise in the world, with 27 million enslaved, 6 million of them children. So many of us aren’t aware of how wide spread this issue is, because it’s not at the forefront of the media, and we think it doesn’t happen where we live. But this is the closet crime that is exploding and rising all around us at astronomical rates.

Tim Ballard, a former special agent and undercover operator for the Department of Homeland Security and also former CIA, shares what we need to know about child trafficking. He’s an abolitionist, NGO specialist, activist and philanthropist, and is the founder and president of O.U.R. Rescue that rescues children from child sex trafficking and sexual exploitation and has assisted in the arrested of thousands of predators.

This episode is heavy, sobering, and challenging, but important to hear. Be aware when starting this episode that we discuss some very heavy topics, but that there is a reason and goal in mind: how to protect our children and support those who are rescuing children from slavery and exploitation.

In this episode we cover:

  • What human trafficking is and what it looks like both in the US and internationally.
  • Tim’s background and what lead him to this line of work as a life long mission
  • Why human trafficking isn’t on the forefront of media attention
  • Online explicit material and how O.U.R. Rescue helps facilitate tracking down predators and finding the abused children
  • The process of rescuing children currently enslaved in different parts of the world
  • Tim’s recent trip to Ukraine and how when a country is in crisis it puts children at risk of being trafficked
  • The rise in normalizing pedophilia and sex with minors
  • The dangers of social media and smart phones for children
  • The new documentary coming out soon around what O.U.R. Rescue is doing in Ukraine called “Good Friday”
  • The best way for us to support and help O.U.R. Rescue’s efforts to rescue children from exploitation and slavery
