Human Trafficking Awareness at Airports
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 23 янв 2022
- Human trafficking is the second largest criminal enterprise in the world, and it is estimated that 60%-70% of victims will pass through an airport at some point during their exploitation. Whether you’re a traveler or employee, YOU can help bring an end to this pervasive crime.
It's not just the passengers and airport staff, but every person, especially the TSA should be on the lookout. The only employees that have authority to actually SCRUTINIZE passengers is the TSA. So vetting for human trafficking should be top priority for them. Make it so.
They’re busy and have other, more important things to do. Let those people speak up if they’re being trafficked.
@@clairevancleave1508 no one listens.
Many years ago, when leaving Canada, an airport police officer of some kind noticed a man watching me and questioned me about him. The man was my brother, but I was very impressed that someone was paying such close attention.
I'm a child sex trafficking survivor and I feel you made some real blunders in this video. First, you said that child sex trafficking victims are between 11 and 14, but then repeatedly referred to victims as teens. Many of are younger, sometimes *far* younger than teens. I cannot remember a time when I was not being trafficked. It started years before kindergarten. Second, you said to watch for kids who are not with their parents. But parents are very often the traffickers! This is especially true of kids trafficked before their teens. In most cases of kids trafficked very young, a family member is the trafficker. Finally, one survivor mentioned being drugged. This is important to stress. Victims are usually given downers, often heroin, to keep us quiet, compliant, and prone to amnesiac episodes. It's very hard to ask for help when you're so drugged (and often sleep deprived) that you barely even know what's going on. I'm glad videos like this are being made, but they could do a lot better.
Seriously? I’m not saying I don’t believe you but I’m saying how totally shocked I am that this even occurs. I had no idea.
@@joycewright5386you’d be amazed…
I'm so sorry for what you went through; I hope you're doing fine now? I hope you don't mind my asking, but how were you able to get away? Did anyone help you?
@@s.susanmarandi9080 I quit the drugs they'd been forcing me to take (not an easy thing), finished grade 12, and just walked away. I was 17. I had nothing. I think I was able to get away because I was now too old for their market. Otherwise, I doubt I would have been allowed to go.
Thank you for adding your own experience. I’m so sorry you went through this and hope you are thriving despite it.
My daughter was grabbed at a market in Thailand when she was six, luckily her dad and uncle were there and took her back. She said my husband never let go of her hand after that and every trip until she stopped going with him at fourteen ( because of school work).
All airports crew must be trained to spot human trafficking specifically security and all staff.
They are. There is an organization that was started by a former flight attendant who does the training
My wife is Asian--I'm Caucasian--so our three kids don't look a lot like me. One time a few years ago, my younger son and I traveled out of state for a soccer tournament. Both the airplane travel and the fact that we weren't traveling as a family were quite unusual, so I was initially surprised at the airport to return home when the TSA agent looked suspiciously at me and then started questioning my son about his last name and age. I quickly realized, "Oh--I'm a middle-aged white guy traveling with a teenage boy that doesn't look a lot like me. She thinks I'm a trafficker!" I was momentarily embarrassed, but my son, who was confused as to what was going on, just answered her questions matter-of-factly. I explained to him after we passed through what the lady was doing. Two thoughts came to mind regarding that incident. The first was, although it was awkward for me, I was *extremely* glad that I was getting profiled. That sentiment won't make some happy, and, ironically, the lady doing the profiling was of a race that has to deal with that far more than most. But if it helps even one victim to be saved, I am 100% for it. The second thought was more light-hearted: My family's picture from a vacation is the first thing you see when I open my phone. If I'm ever in that position again, I can easily pull that out, show my Asian wife and bi-racial kids, and be done with it.
Asian genes are strong! My son started calling me by my first name when he was six and when we moved cities between looking like his dad and the name thing all his friends thought I was his step mother even when he told them I was his birth mother. Small town I guess they don’t see mixed race couples that much.
Thank you for educating us! And blessings to all children (and babies) victims of trafficking and abuse.
This makes me so sick. These poor children. How do people become so vile?!
No God.
I’ve often wondered the same thing! It’s astonishing!! 😮
Well, this life on earth isn’t the only existence we’ll have! Someday they’ll have to stand before God and account for EVERYTHING!!
THEN, we’ll see how glad they still feel about what they’ve done!!
Starts with debass sex magazines, violent hollywood films, and the awful way we treat animals . All the thin edge of the wedge
Satanic possession.
Liberals have more compassion for animals than they do children !
I would almost suspect that a teen NOT looking at their phone and still looking down, is a sign. I wish I could say most teens are upbeat and happy these days but that’s not the case. Most teens are depressed and constantly looking at their phone. So one without a phone and still not able to make eye contact, would be a sign for me.
Good tip 👍
We need messaging all over airports! In bathroom stalls and in clear view . In all languages.
Giving support and ways victims can escape. And perpetrators apprehended.
Exactly! Honestly, why is this not being done? We need more education on how to help. I think people either don't pay attention to their surroundings (possibly more focused on their phones than they should) or if they do, they don't know how to report it.
I have seen the ads in airports, but this video explains what we should be aware of and what to do. Thank you.
" Evil is powerless when the good are unafraid "
You might want to check history on that.... All that is required is for the evil to have accumulated more power, tools, and skill, or for the good to be unsuspicious of themselves as well as others and mistaken in their judgment. (For example, I can imagine all the karens empowered against traveling families by videos like this. Teenagers traveling on their own or with friends to somewhere they are happy to be going are often as they describe. Teenagers going with parents to visit Aunt Curmudgeon when they would rather be doing just about anything else could often fit the profiled behavior perfectly.)
And the most trafficking happens in the USA. Open your eyes, people!!!
I beg your pardon. Not to be rude but not everything is about America. Africa and the Middle East as far, far worse.
Very weird because Two weeks ago in Dallas Texas airport they founded a woman from Europe hidden for ten days in the bathroom and she was trafficked from Europe ..um…!
YES/YES/YES! We were foster parents. We had 5 different children. Each was abused! Wake up America!
These are great tips - but remember that sometimes “looks” can be deceiving. There have been multiple instances recently of mixed race families getting their travel disrupted because people flag them for trafficking - a black mom with her white looking daughter, a white man with his mixed daughter, etc.
My daughter (Asian/Caucasian) and son in law (strawberry blond white guy) carry their girls birth certificates because one looks just like her and the other one looks like him except her eyes are blue. They don’t want any problems when they travel.
I got a lot of questions about which agency I went through to adopt my kids because they did not look mixed at all…copies of their dad until they hit puberty.
I think that is totally what they should be doing. If they really are related then it's easily proven and everyone can be on their way.
Yes. Sorry about that but if 100 or 1000 people have to stoped..to save just one child it is worth it.😂😂
better to be safe than sorry.
Better safe than sorry, or dead.
I was staying in a motel in AZ and was driving my little SUV, pulled in beside a 4 door sedan. There was a preteen in the back who looked stoned out of her mind sitting between two women who did not look at all related. Thy were propping her up and trying to give her food and also wedging her in the back of the car. There was a man driving in the front who also did not look related. I immediately casually went and told the desk clerk who turned out to be a former Marine. He immediately ran outside but unfortunately they had left. Given what I later learned to be the nature of this motel, my intuition told me that this young lady was being sex trafficked This GIRL looked like she weighed 85-90 pounds. I only wish I had acted quicker.
I believe I can add useful information, to this excellent presentation. Coursework and training for preschool and elementary level teaching includes recognition of signs of sexual abuse of young children. One of the most significant signs of sexual abuse is dark circles under eyes. The act of using a young child for sex causes breakage of small capillary blood vessels, in girls and in boys. This breakage causes darkening of the blood, and in the area of eyes, where skin is transparent and thin, this darkening will show. For teachers of young children, this darkening under the eyes is a reportable sign. As teachers, we are mandated to report this, so that investigation can be initiated.
Dark circles under eyes are not just a sign of sleep deprivation. This darkening is a sign of repeated penetration.
Panda eyes
@@sandyholladay9078 While I appreciate your comment, I must say that Panda Eyes is an informal medical term for a symptom related to skull fracture, and internal brain hemorrhages. Patients with depressed skull fracture can present with obviously puffy, almost swollen shut eyes. They can almost look as though they have two black eyes, from being hit directly, but this is from brain bleed. This is the original definition for Panda Eyes, at any rate. If the term has been extended to signs of sexual activity...your reference is correct.
My reference was to children with obvious dark circles under their eyes. There is not so much puffiness and swelling, but if you know what you are looking at, you know how serious this is. Another sign of abuse is the child smelling all wrong, for a little child. A young child should not smell like adult sweat. A child coming into a classroom looking like he/she has not slept in a week, and smelling like anything from an adult, could be in very serious trouble. In cases of extreme abuse, a child may display an usual way of walking. This change in gait occurs with the pain of sexual abuse.
Thank you very much for responding.
Everybody should know the asl sign. Help Me
?
@@mariantreber8055the asl one is two handed but a newer more subtle one is holding your hand up with your thumb tucked into your palm then folding your fingers down; google it.
As a school bus driver, we have a similar training. Many kids are being groomed in schools by other students to become victims of trafficking. So sad.
Thank you for your awareness of airport personal 😇
It is a difficult thing to do..separate the child from the trafficker..who will fight for his investment..they are not going to just let them go to a security guard...
Traffickers some times have spotters to be sure that the victim is taken to the destination. If a spotter find out that that the trafficker is held, they have no choice but to abort eluding capture at the same time.
To add, spotters do abort and elude due to the fact that the victim will identify the spotter who was brought into the business. But spotters do something even worse - Murder-for-hire.
So it starts with meeting people online....the websites should be held accountable too.
Thanks, I sent this to all my family.
Teens act like this all the time.
Thanks for this important upload.
It’s hard for the general public to recognize a problem or what’s abnormal. My teens were moody and disagreeable and often tired while traveling. But the statistic that’s most horrifying is that they only survive about 7 years?? Then what?
My heart aches. Thank you for sharing this information
This is stupid and ridiculous. These people need to look out for themselves.
Thank you for this.....
This is so awful - ugh protect our young vulnerable people.
Thankyou
Thanks for this! I consider myself very observant. In this case I had no idea what to look for.
Everything mentioned in the video I saw. I saw a child, a victim of trafficking at a grocery store. It was very bizarre & I didn’t know what to do. The man didn’t act like a parent at all. The child didn’t act like a kid, but just stood frozen in place, didn’t move an inch, not one word spoken, & he/she was about 15 feet away from the handler. Both dressed inappropriately, with way too much clothing. The kid had a hoodie on and I couldn’t see a face. It was being hid intentionally. I wish I had followed them in my car. I called the trafficking division of the police dept.even tho I knew it wasn’t enuf info. I’ve not seen the trafficker since, but am watching for him. Really sad. Whose kid was it? Where are the parents?
Many evil people pretending to be angels out there ... Closer to the Light , we will see shadows around things ... Do not trust people we only know through social media ... It took decades to know oneself , much less others ... Make friends wisely ... It is better to live alone safely & healthily than being near abusive & exploitative evil people ... 🙏🕯🌍🕊
Yes most kids and teens enjoy travelling; if their head is down and they look oppressed, it's worth it to check on them.
We need to raise awareness
I was 13 traveling all alone. No one cared. That was 2005
LAX to Huston and back 😂
It seems like if you take the option of airports away then your forcing it all to happen underground where no one will ever be able to notice anything at all. Perhaps that is the new mission.
Good point.
🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙏🙏
I saw a group of barefoot girls come in the gas station once ,it struck me as funny because ir was wet and cold in the PNW .i was unaware at the time of H T. And prayer for those gals often .
Head not up!!! Many ppl looking not helping!!!
Dear AAAE. Glad you put something in the 'About" of your channel. However, you omitted the most obvious piece of information: what does AAAE stand for? Don't make me track it down on the web. And don't reply to this comment with the acronym meaning (I know it because I tracked it down). Put in it in the About page, PLEASE.
What does it stand for?

So why are the liberals so obsessed against the new movie regarding human trafficking?
Young people are so moody, and I doubt all human traffic victims act as described. So many young people I see with parents are lethargic and into themselves that you don't see their faces. This video serves as misinformation to the public. Just because you see a moody young person with an adult typically is not human trafficking. It may be more rebellion than danger on the kids' part.
Thank You for the video upload, So I'll be on the Lookout to report a Caucasian taking a young Victim who's invariably Caucasian themselves through an Airport propius in the middle of the Day.
I thought human trafficking was a conspiracy theory of right wingers!?!?
At least that's what I read some movie critics saying about "Sound of Freedom".
Jesus Christ, I know your mum! She's an actress that we've used in the past. I was totally unaware of any of this. Don't you worry,she will never work in this industry ever again
