Mary Trapnell, founder of Nashville Anti Human Trafficking Coalition (NAHT) and Christina Meadows, a survivor of sex trafficking are here today to share their message, their story and most importantly, how we can prevent this from happening to our own daughters.

Christina shares her story of years of working in the sex industry after falling prey when she was just a teenager. How did she cope all those years, why did she stay and how did she finally escape? Spoiler alert, it had a lot to do with Mary, the founder of NAHT.

I ask Mary to break down the steps these traffickers go through to lure young girls and boys out of their homes and onto the streets. Where are they contacting these kids, what do they say? How do they trick them into believing this is a good idea.

It is every parents worst nightmare and our hope with this episode is that it can help you know the signs to look for, who is most at risk and what to do if this happens to someone you know.
