The buyer is the ultimate engine of the human trafficking marketplace. Without demand, there is no profit—and without profit, the business model collapses. 🧵👇

How do we stop them? Shift the risk. Buyers are highly risk-averse. When jurisdictions implement felony-level charges that threaten their careers and freedom, demand drops dramatically.

Why don’t they just leave? 🛑 It’s not physical chains; it’s neurobiology. Trauma bonding creates a biochemical connection to the trafficker through cycles of abuse and intermittent kindness. Understanding is key to recognizing trafficking. Learn more: bit.ly/49pkzzo

96% of federal human trafficking defendants in FY2023 were U.S. citizens. Forget the "border" myths—trafficking is a domestic crisis happening in our own backyards. It’s about stealing freedom for profit.

Remember staying out until the streetlights came on? We had physical boundaries. Today, our kids are "running loose" in a digital neighborhood of 5 billion people. It’s time to talk about the new frontlines of child safety. 🧵

Online safety isn’t about being a tech expert; it’s about parenting in a new environment. You don't need to know every app; you need to know your child.
