Because the level of fear that people have of this happening to them personally is not healthy or rational at the moment. If you go on social media every other mom or 20 something genuinely thinks because a man drove past her twice in the Walmart parking lot he was “targeting her for sex trafficing” and posts about it warning everyone that it’s “happening in front of our eyes” and to “stay vigilant”. I genuinely think it’s important for people to understand that while yes there are dangers out there, you as a wealthy suburban mother at Target are simply not likely to be sex trafficked in broad daylight— it’s truly not a rational thought process but it’s become super widespread right now via viral social media posts. Let’s take that concern and direct it somewhere productive, worry about the little girls in foster care or something.
