Sex trafficking is a difficult issue to discuss, but it is becoming more and more relevant, especially to parents of children in care. While estimates vary, anywhere from 50% to more than 90% of the children who have been trafficked have been involved in some way with the child welfare system.

At the end of this course, you will be able to:
- recognize warning signs of commercial sexual exploitation
- dispel myths about human trafficking, including sex trafficking
- describe victim blaming
- understand the grooming process

- know parenting strategies for preventing child sexual exploitation
