Episode 71- How My Daughter Was Trafficked Without Me Knowing with Lynda Harlos Apr 15, 2020

Show notes

Lynda Harlos' website says, "Did you know that majority of human trafficking happening in our area is involving our children, living in homes like yours, and we don't even know? Human Trafficking is not typically like that movie 'Taken', or other movies that show little kids being kidnapped, thrown in a van and then confined to a room and sold. It is our sons and daughters being sold a dream and they are quite often involved while still living at home."

"It is time to debunk the myths about human trafficking. If you think this doesn't happen to tight-knit, suburban, faith based families, you are wrong."

Lynda's own daughter, Samantha, was being trafficked by her boyfriend. Lynda had a close relationship with her daughter. They talked regularly and would get together on weekends for coffee- and still she had no idea. Now Lynda and Samantha are speaking out in hopes of saving others from the same tragedy. Listen today on Supergirls Podcast to hear Lynda's side of the story and you can hear it in Samantha's own words at https://www.parentwithpurpose.ca/.
