Sex trafficking is targeting and exploiting teens and preteens, and the victims of it include kids from all walks of life. The average age of those entering into sex trafficking in the United States is 13. This is a dark and dangerous reality, which is why Breanna and Brandon Vales founded the organization Red Light Rebellion to fight and prevent sex trafficking. They join us on this episode of "Win This Year" to share their experience and knowledge, in order to help families protect their kids. Topics include myths surrounding sex trafficking, signs and symptoms of kids being groomed or exploited by predators, what is fueling the demand for sex trafficking, and what we can do to help.
