Pumped Up Parenting: Could Your Child Be at Risk? The Hidden Dangers of Human Trafficking

How do we prepare our children to navigate a world filled with hidden dangers and opportunities to thrive?

January is Human Trafficking Awareness Month, and there’s no better time to dive into this crucial conversation.

In this episode of the Pumped Up Parenting Podcast, I sit down with Erin Williamson, Chief Programs and Strategy Officer at Love 146, to uncover what every parent needs to know about human trafficking and keeping kids safe.

Erin shares her expert insights into what makes children vulnerable, how traffickers exploit those vulnerabilities, and—most importantly—what parents can do to empower their kids.

From teaching children to trust their instincts to moving beyond outdated “stranger danger” talks, this episode is packed with actionable advice to help you build trust, resilience, and open communication within your family.

This isn’t about fear—it’s about empowerment.

Together, let’s create a safer, more informed world for our kids. Visit love146.org for free resources to continue this vital conversation during Human Trafficking Awareness Month.
