This episode of the Fearless Mindset Podcast is the first part of our conversation with Heidi Chance, a retired Phoenix Police Human Exploitation and Trafficking (HEAT) Detective and Presenter on child sex trafficking and exploitation at the National Criminal Justice Training Center (NCJTC).
Today, she brings to light the realities of human trafficking, especially with the revelation that the Super Bowl is a top venue for trafficking. Heidi discusses the different ways sexploitation happens in today's age, which range from social media to games, and the central role of involved parents in protecting children from predators.
GOLDEN NUGGETS
Adapting law enforcement to deal with exploitation - Heidi: "We're asking the question we never asked before, which is, what can we do to help you get out of this situation? My agency had a victim advocate actually assigned to the unit, and that victim advocates would basically go out at two o'clock in the morning when we were out on a call and they would take the victim aside, and everything that they shared together was confidential and gave them an option to leave right then; resources, a bus ticket, hotel room, a shelter bed, all of those things right then."
An involved community can defend against traffickers - Heidi: "It's really going to take the community knowing what the problem is, and then helping with the fight, reporting what they see, teaching their kids not to do certain things or talk to certain people, and actually be there in their kids' lives. That's the only way that we would eradicate this problem."
