Incredible and Terrifying

This podcast is a powerful and eye-opening listen. While the media dismisses concerns about child trafficking and sexual exploitation as mere conspiracy theories, trump supporters, or QANON, this podcast reveals a disturbing glimpse of the grim reality, and it's just a small part of a larger evil.

There are dangerous individuals strangers, parents, close relatives, and more out there who prey on children for their twisted motives, exploiting them for financial gain. Parents, stay vigilant—protect your children and be aware of those around you. Do not dismiss a child as a bad kid because they are acting out, or a nasty child because they may have done something they did not know was wrong. You never know what might be happening behind closed doors or on the dark web.

Matthew 18:6 (NIV):
"If anyone causes one of these little ones—those who believe in me—to stumble, it would be better for them to have a large millstone hung around their neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea."

Superb podcast on a painful topic

It's almost a shame that such an outstanding team has taken on this subject because it will certainly limit the # of people that can bear to listen. But the topic just underscores how great they are that they manage to really get inside the minds of the criminals and the hunters and explain them both.
