It's that time of year...when we'll hear stories about the prevalence (or not) of sex trafficking around the Super Bowl, and other high-profile sporting events.

Thanks so much Joe! This similar to the things we go through all the time! It is just not true and I really like this article!

A lengthy report on Child Exploitation Prevention presented to Congress by the Justice Department in 2010 (see link below) further delves into the profiles of predators involved in child abuse and trafficking. According to the data presented, the vast majority of children harmed in this manner are either introduced or otherwise victimized by family members or other trusted adults such as babysitters, coaches, or family friends. Only four percent of victims identified were exploited or abused by an adult not previously known to the child or their family.
