    In this follow-up to Human Targeting, Jody Salerno goes deeper — into the why. Why are children so vulnerable to trafficking in the first place? This episode uncovers the conditions predators look for — poverty, neglect, abuse, family instability, isolation, and digital access — and how each one creates cracks that traffickers exploit. Jody also shares real-world stories of how children are groomed through everyday vulnerabilities like loneliness, lack of supervision, or emotional neglect. This episode is real, raw, and vital for anyone who cares about protecting children. Awareness is power — and it starts with understanding how predators find opportunity in everyday weakness.
