This week on Exploited: Crimes Against Humanity we will return to the basics of understanding the crime of sex trafficking.

With a new year beginning and many new followers to the show, this week we will lay the foundation of understanding how innocent individuals end up becoming violated and exploited by traffickers.

We will look at the most likely targets of predators and understand what can be done to protect them from becoming victims. We will examine a wide range of recruitment tactics, and we will discuss the insidious practice of breaking a victim so they won't run away from the trafficker(s). We will explore how parents can recognize the signs if they believe their child is being controlled or groomed by a male or female predator. Finally, we will talk about how trafficking takes place and most important how to recognize the signs when a person is being exploited, AND WHAT YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT.
