info_outlineIn this episode of the Reading with Your Kids podcast, host Jed Doherty sits down with Heidi Chance, a retired human trafficking detective, to discuss the alarming issue of sex trafficking and how parents can protect their children. Chance shares her firsthand experiences investigating these crimes, highlighting the evolving nature of the problem, with traffickers targeting younger and younger victims, often through online grooming and manipulation.
The conversation delves into the tactics used by traffickers, who leverage social media and technology to identify and exploit vulnerable children. Chance emphasizes the importance of open communication between parents and kids, encouraging them to have difficult but necessary conversations about online safety, recognizing "tricky people," and the dangers of sharing personal information or inappropriate content.
Jed and Chance also discuss the role of law enforcement in addressing human trafficking, and Chance's efforts to educate both the public and fellow officers on this critical issue. The episode touches on the significance of building strong relationships with children through activities like reading, which can foster trust and open dialogue about sensitive topics.
Throughout the discussion, the hosts emphasize the need for increased awareness, proactive prevention, and a community-based approach to combating the scourge of human trafficking. By arming parents with knowledge and resources, this episode aims to empower families to protect their children and create a safer, more inclusive world for all. We also speak with authors Jen Kirkley and Tradara McLaurine. Jen tells us about her kids' book Willard DoGooder and the Trail of Friends and Tradara celebrates her book I Want A Nickname.
