The most likely targets to become victims of child sex trafficking or exploitation are foster kids, homeless kids, runaway kids and pregnant teens. Statistics suggest that about 60% of young people in prostitution come from Foster Care. About 80% of Homeless kids come from Foster Care. And, it is believed that as many as 70% to 80% of young people who are involved in prostitution were previously sexually molested.
This week we are going to look at the psychology that predators use on vulnerable youth and how they are easy to groom and recruit. More importantly, we are going to discuss solutions and what CAN and SHOULD be done to address this issue.
