“It Won’t Happen to Us”

Why “It Won’t Happen to Us” Is the Most Dangerous Belief

Denial is one of trafficking’s biggest weapons.
The belief that “my child would never fall for that” prevents parents from having the conversations that could save their child’s life.

Traffickers rely on:
• assumptions
• distractions
• busyness
• overconfidence
• lack of awareness

They know that many families don’t see the risk until it’s already too late.

The truth is:
Trafficking does not discriminate.
It doesn’t care about income, faith, or family structure.
It doesn’t need a missing person scenario.
It only needs a moment of vulnerability.

Awareness takes humility the willingness to say:
“We are not exempt. We need to stay informed.”

Families that stay aware create better communication, stronger trust, and early prevention.
