For The Silent

10/21/2026

Aunt Marge Says: “I would know immediately if my child were being groomed.”

The Truth: Grooming is often gradual, subtle, and intentionally designed to go unnoticed. It can be difficult to recognize, even for the most attentive parents and caregivers.

Awareness is prevention. Learn the signs, keep conversations open, and make sure your child knows they can come to you without fear of judgment.

Don’t Be a Marge. Stay curious. Stay informed. Stay connected.

Do you know the warning signs?

Gina Darnell shares 7 red flags every parent, caregiver, and community member should know to help protect our children from trafficking and exploitation.

Awareness helps us recognize when something may be wrong, ask questions, and step in before harm happens. When we know what to look for, we’re better equipped to keep our kids safe.

Because protecting children starts with knowing the signs.
