Technology and Modern Exploitation

Technology has expanded the reach of traffickers.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation warns that social media, messaging apps, gaming platforms, and online job ads are commonly used for grooming and recruitment.

Research from Thorn shows online enticement and sextortion cases involving minors have significantly increased in recent years.

Warning signs can include secrecy around devices, unexplained gifts or money, and sudden online relationships with older individuals.

Digital awareness and parental involvement are critical safeguards in today’s environment.
