Rotarian and Guests:
It's a parent's worst nightmare.
Their precious child - loved and cared for - is lured away by a predator ... a "wolf in sheep's clothing." Pulled into a life of sex trafficking and abuse.
In a moment, life is turned upside down.
They are ready to search high and low. Do whatever it takes to recover their beloved child. But they have no idea how or where to get help.
Addie, for example.... She's 14. School friends turned out to be recruiters for a New York pimp. She was gradually ensnared through their "friendship."
When she disappeared, her desperate mom accepted the help of our partner organization; they knew just how to intervene to rescue Addie....
