I beg all of you to educate yourselves on how human trafficking actually happens so you don’t become a “mama bear” on Facebook/tiktok who “almost gets trafficked” every time they leave the house

Not random abductions of upper middle class suburban white moms out of busy stores in broad daylight. Human traffickers seek out victims who likely won’t be noticed or cared about. An addicted homeless woman goes missing because she’s being pimped out to her dealer’s friends in exchange for a fix? Nobody probably bats an eye

The stranger danger movement did a lot of damage to this nation. Everyone is scared of everyone, communities are crumbling, and crime persists bc it’s so often the people known to you who are the monsters

But in the “almost trafficked” scenarios that show up all over social media? The “near victim” is someone in a well-off position, in a highly visible location, in broad daylight, whose disappearance, even if not reported by a witness at the scene, would be noticed within hours when she doesn’t come home from target, and likely become national news when word of a dramatic abduction of a local mom gets out
