    No Trafficking Zones: Taking Back Our Schools and Communities

    In this episode, Jacquelyn Aluotto, Co-Founder of No Trafficking Zone, details the groundbreaking work her organization has done to transform vulnerable spaces into active “No Trafficking Zones” through legislation, enforcement initiatives, and strategic partnerships. From schools and foster care facilities to universities, sports stadiums, and major entertainment venues, No Trafficking Zone has pioneered real-world systems designed to deter traffickers, strengthen criminal penalties, and protect children before exploitation occurs. Aluotto explains how the landmark No Trafficking School Zone Act in Texas established enhanced felony penalties for traffickers targeting children in and around schools, school-sponsored activities, and through digital grooming tactics conducted online. The conversation also explores the organization’s expansion into large-scale sporting events and entertainment venues, where No Trafficking Zone has worked alongside law enforcement and response teams to monitor trafficking activity and combat exploitation tied to high-demand events.

    Grooming And The Fight To Protect Our Children

    In this powerful episode of Not On My Watch, host April Moss sits down with child-protection advocate Michelle Peterson, whose personal fight for justice helped lead to the first unlawful grooming conviction in the United States. Michelle shares the deeply personal story of how she first discovered that her teenage son Andrew had been targeted by a trusted teacher and coach. What began as a mother’s instinct that something was wrong soon revealed a disturbing pattern of manipulation and grooming, tactic predators often use to gain the trust of both children and their families before abuse occurs. Determined to protect her son and prevent other families from experiencing the same trauma, Michelle helped expose critical gaps in the law surrounding grooming. Her advocacy contributed to the creation of the first standalone grooming conviction in the country and has since inspired legislative efforts known as Andrew’s Law, aimed at strengthening protections for children nationwide. Throughout the conversation, Michelle explains how grooming works, the warning signs parents should watch for, and why trusting parental instincts can make all the difference. She also discusses her ongoing work helping states adopt stronger laws so predators can be prosecuted before abuse escalates. This episode is a sobering but hopeful reminder that vigilance, courage, and informed parents remain some of the most powerful tools in protecting the next generation.
