Call to Freedom: A Parent's Guide to Understanding Human Trafficking and Healing Their Children

Call to Freedom is a South Dakota-based nonprofit advancing the fight against human trafficking and the healing of survivors and their families. Their recently released resource, A Parent’s Guide to Understanding Human Trafficking and Healing Their Childrenis set to make an impact on their important mission for anyone who reads it. From politicians to educators, families, and supporters, this guide provides a greater understanding of how and why our children are targeted and the tactics traffickers use to ensnare them in this atrocious bondage. Along with knowing the dangers and warning signs associated with becoming trafficking targets, the psychology of victims needs to be understood in order to help them not only break free physically but to help their minds heal. Rescue requires much more than removal from the slavery conditions. This essential understanding is gained through the short stories and messages featured throughout the book of many trafficking survivors, all featured under the anonymous moniker, “One Survivor.” Call to Freedom’s parent guide is originated and primarily written by Ruth Atkins, the grandmother of a young woman who was trafficked. Ruth, referred to in the book as “Gma,” uses her experience and wisdom gained from journeying with her granddaughter through this ordeal, along with extensive research, to teach readers those things that make a difference. Alongside Ruth, Mary, a survivor herself after being trafficked by the Cartel, includes eye-opening and valuable lessons in her sections titled “Mary’s Moments.” AParent’s Guide to Understanding Human Trafficking and Healing Their Children clearly explains important concepts and topics including what makes a child more at risk, the basic stages of grooming, complex trauma, triggers and flashbacks, trauma bond and dissociative identity disorder as well as what to expect on the healing journey, knowing that each journey is unique. With the explosion of the human trafficking industry worldwide, especially in our own backyards (it’s not just a 3rd world problem as is often the stereotype, but is prevalent across the U.S.) this resource guide is an essential book that should be studied by all parents and caregivers of children, not only to recognize and know what to do to help their loved ones should they become trapped in this nightmare, but obtain the needed education to prevent it in the first place.
