Undercover Detective Victoria Dingee and her anti-trafficking police task force carry out sting operations to identify victims and ‘Johns’ in Dayton, Ohio. Trafficking is on the rise in all 50 states of the USA but what’s particularly surprising is that the majority of victims are no longer immigrants but all-American girls from middle-class homes. With exclusive access to law enforcement, including hidden camera footage from the arrests, Trafficked in Suburbia gives a unique insight into the frontline of this new battle against human trafficking in suburban America.

In a small town, people are dreaming: a man dreams of buying a house; a woman dreams of travelling; and an adolescent dreams of attending university. As each story plays out, we watch the devastating, step-by-step process of human traffickers taking advantage of these dreams. This five-minute animated video illustrates how human trafficking doesn’t happen all at once, but rather is a process of three elements: Act, Means and Purpose.

The numbers associated with human sex trafficking are staggering, but the lives of victims and survivors are what stay with us. In this talk, Kanani Titchen M.D. reveals her experiences as a physician whose interactions with trafficked patients opened her eyes to a parallel world previously unseen. Kanani Titchen MD, is an Adolescent Medicine fellow at the Children’s Hospital at Montefiore, Bronx, New York. She encountered human sex trafficking for the first time during a gynecologic rotation while in medical school at Sidney Kimmel Medical College of Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Kanani served as the 2013-2014 President of the American Medical Women’s Association National Resident Division. During her tenure as President, she trained with Girls’ Educational & Mentoring Services in New York City and created an online video tutorial to educate doctors about human sex trafficking. She has authored numerous articles for medical journals and for the lay press about US child sex trafficking and physician education, and she has advocated for sex trafficking survivors at the United Nations and at the US Department of Health and Human Services. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at http://ted.com/tedx

It stars my sister, Lacie and shows the importance of paying attention to what children are doing online. I recently gave Lacie her phone last year, and always worry about who she's talking to online. She isn't allowed to have social media accounts yet, but when making this film I talked to her about the importance of never talking to someone she didn't know. Not everyone is who they say they are. Enjoy.
