Protect Those You Love From Predators - MTP293

Co-Host Jan Edwards (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/edwards) Child trafficking an uncomfortable subject, which is a big part of why it's not talked about enough. But as men, we're responsible to protect those we love and look out for their best interests. That means we can no longer ignore this essential conversation. This is not a problem that happens to 'someone else'. All too often, it occurs close to home, even right under our very noses. The shocking part is it's FAR easier for it to affect your family than you think. You might not even realize it's happening at first. My guest Jan Miller is President of Paving The Way Foundation, and she offers straight talk about what human trafficking really is, the insidious ways traffickers and abusers weasel their way into our children's world, and--of course--what we as men can and should do about it. Listen in as Jan explains how it's not only girls who are sexually abused, and not only men who are the abusers. Moreover, child trafficking isn't necessarily synonymous with sexual assault. How is human trafficking different than human smuggling? Is it possible most victims don't even realize they're victims? How are we being gaslit with regard to acceptance of pedophilic influences and activities? How does society's cognitive bias against believing there are real monsters out there enable the problem? Next, we go over both the online AND offline aspects of how our kids are groomed by traffickers, often with alarming success. Yet, most grooming patterns are predictable and absolutely identifiable, if only we look past the carefully choreographed outward appearance of the aggressor. Meanwhile, it's tricky to stop offenders because trafficking can occur in relatively unlikely places. And what if you find yourself face to face with an organized trafficking cabal that's potentially dangerous? DISCLAIMER: Yes, this has affected my life personally, so I've done my own extensive research...and you'll hear the passion in my voice. https://mountaintoppodcast.com === HELP US SEND THE MESSAGE TO GREAT MEN EVERYWHERE === We'll keep the solid, actionable content coming...all for free.
