Hard Facts About Human Trafficking

SAFEguarding Our Kids
Children are our most precious gift and are extremely vulnerable to predators. Technology plays a crucial role when dealing with threats occurring exclusively online, typically through social media or messaging platforms. SAFE in the Panhandle is dedicated to providing awareness training and resources to families in our community. Statistics show a rise in the number of predators utilizing online enticement methods to lure children into vulnerable situations. In 2023 the cyber tip line received more than 186,800 reports of online enticement, the category that includes sextortion. Between 2021 and 2023 the number of online enticement reports increased more than 300%. In 2024 through October 5th, NCMEC has received more than 456,000 reports of online enticement.
