You might think your child is safe at home—but what if the greatest danger is quietly hiding behind their screens? Human trafficking isn’t something that only happens elsewhere; it’s thriving right here in our own communities through everyday technology.

In this eye-opening episode of Team Protectors, Safe House Project’s Kristi Wells and Brittany Dunn sit down with Audrey Morrissey, trafficking survivor and respected expert from the U.S. Council on Human Trafficking. Audrey reveals how traffickers exploit popular apps, social media platforms, and online gaming to invisibly target children of every age, race, and socioeconomic background—right under the noses of watchful parents and guardians.

You’ll discover:

• The subtle ways traffickers groom and recruit young victims online.
• Common misconceptions about who traffickers and buyers really are.
• Practical steps you can take right now to recognize, prevent, and report suspicious behavior.

Together, we’ll unpack how technology has transformed trafficking into a multi-billion dollar invisible industry, but also how that same technology can empower us to fight back. With powerful tools like the Simply Report app, learn how you can become an active protector in your own home, neighborhood, and community.

Human trafficking ends when ordinary people take extraordinary action. Join us, because protecting our kids takes all of us.
