🚨 Online child s*x trafficking is increasing—and our children need us to pay attention.

According to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC), reports of online child s*x trafficking have increased 323%.

Behind every statistic is a child who deserves to be safe, protected, and heard. 💙

We all have a role to play: learn the warning signs, talk openly with children about online safety, and speak up when something doesn’t seem right.

Awareness can lead to prevention. Prevention can lead to protection. Learn more at TheLantern.net.
