Girl people do not just snatch up normal everyday women from parking lots and train stations bffr

Almost all human trafficking targets the super vulnerable: homeless, drug addicts, strippers, sex workers, etc

And what percentage of that 10% is normal middle class people on their way to work vs at risk populations (homeless/drug addicts/strippers/sex workers)?

Because the level of fear that people have of this happening to them personally is not healthy or rational at the moment. If you go on social media every other mom or 20 something genuinely thinks because a man drove past her twice in the Walmart parking lot he was “targeting her for sex trafficing” and posts about it warning everyone that it’s “happening in front of our eyes” and to “stay vigilant”. I genuinely think it’s important for people to understand that while yes there are dangers out there, you as a wealthy suburban mother at Target are simply not likely to be sex trafficked in broad daylight— it’s truly not a rational thought process but it’s become super widespread right now via viral social media posts. Let’s take that concern and direct it somewhere productive, worry about the little girls in foster care or something.
