![Your child may be at risk from human trafficking without ever leaving your house. Most kids who are trafficked are not snatched from parking lots. They are found by traffickers online or trafficked by family or friends. Most trafficking occurs online. Washington D.C. and Richmond, VA are both listed in the top 20 human trafficking jurisdictions in the USA. It only takes the trafficker about a week to go from meeting the child online to meeting them in person. Trafficking starts with grooming - The trafficker creates a relationship with the child, so they can manipulate them. Traffickers will get close to the child with claims of love, giving emotional support, gifts, or money. Any child (any age, boys, and girls) could be trafficked. Traffickers will get information, photos, or videos of the child and use them to blackmail the child. Traffickers will work to isolate the child and keep them from telling anyone what is going on.](https://core-docs.s3.amazonaws.com/live_feed_image/image/3713168/large_Day_5_-_Human_Trafficking_Social_Media.png)

How To Avoid Being Scammed.
![How to avoid being scammed. Take the time to think before you react. Many scams try to get you to act before you think. Never give anyone your username and password. Some scammers will try to trick you into giving them this information. Never tell anyone the code that was texted to you. Using a code to complete your login is great, but no one should be asking you to tell them the code. Never trust companies that contact you unexpectedly. If you are contacted by your bank, credit card, or someone else saying there is a problem, contact them using the number provided on their website or card. Do not click a link that you are not sure about. The link might claim to be something important, but it could be trying to steal your information.](https://core-docs.s3.amazonaws.com/live_feed_image/image/3713083/large_Day_3_-_How_to_AVOID_being_scammed.png)
