Sex Trafficking in America: from The Boulevard to Planned Parenthood

Each year, right under our noses, 100,000 American children each year are victimized by sex traffickers. Make no mistake, this is not a problem that's just "over there." These heinous crimes are happening in our own backyards. A special live video webcast was hosted by Family Research Council on Tuesday, March 15 at 2:00 p.m., and brought together leading experts to shed light on this growing problem that affects every corner of our nation -- from neighborhoods, playgrounds, and malls to the local Planned Parenthood clinic. Learn what actions you can take to help restore these victims, and stop those who prey on them.

Webcast participants include:

Tony Perkins, President, Family Research Council
J. Robert (Bob) Flores, former Administrator of the U.S. Department of Justice's Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJD)
Lila Rose, President, Live Action
Pat Trueman, CEO, Morality in Media and Founder, PornHarms.com
Samantha Vardeman, Senior Director, Shared Hope International
