Human trafficking earns global profits of roughly $150 Billion per year for traffickers, $99 Billion of which comes from commercial exploitation. Globally, an estimated 71 percent of enslaved people are women and girls, while men and boys account for 29 percent.
Victims of domestic violence often fall into the hands of traffickers, as they seek help in desperation to escape their abuse. Traffickers often make initial offers of protection and love, but then further abuse an already abused individial, for financial gain.

Children 12 and older make up about 80 percent of missing and endangered children. Pre-teens and teens are especially at risk, due to the growing concerns of social media interactions with predators and traffickers.
Often, other teenagers who are victims themselves will initiate contact with a targeted minor victim, develope a friendship online and then lead them into danger... some are teenage opportunists who are working for higher-ups. Teen victims are often invited to sneak out of their homes at night to attend parties, where they are then given drugs, alchohol, and taken advantage of or forced to have sex

We are a group of volunteers, friends and family, who have joined together to create awareness in our communities concerning active missing person's cases and human trafficking
We do not accept donations, funding or conduct fundraising of any sort
We volunteer efforts alongside nonprofits and community based organizations that share similar interests, such as the National Center For Missing and Exploited Children, founded in 1984 by John and Reve Walsh, which serves as the national clearinghouse and resource center for information about missing and exploited children.
We assist families in filing a police report, as well as contacting The National Center For Missing and Exploited Children to provide pertinant information to the national database.

Like chatrooms and other areas of the internet, predators and traffickers use social media to develope a relationship with their intended victims through false promises and coercion. Some social media victimization cases have even included offering false job opportunities...
Traffickers and predators use social media to stalk targeted minor victims, often impersonating someone using a fake profile of someone the intended victim might trust. Predators and traffickers gain intelligence on their victims by examining their posts, comments that they have made on their posts, and comments made by the victims friends on their posts.
