Who is a Trafficker?

A trafficker can be a man or a woman, young or old, even somebody you know.

He or she:

• Has a nice and friendly manner
• Tells you how much money you can make if you go with him or her
• Has a nice car and will show you money
• Tells you they love you, and want to take care of you

They pretend to be nice, but they are very wicked people who will hurt you

Unfortunately, there are people who seem nice, but who make lots of money by exploiting children (using them for evil purposes). They may sexually molest and otherwise abuse you, and they will sell you to others who will abuse and exploit you. There are people like this in Jamaica and all over the world. Sometimes they are even friends or family members you know and trust.

So whenever someone tries to persuade you to do something suspicious or out of the ordinary, especially if they promise you money, riches and a wonderful new life:

• Say NO and keep far from them
• Do NOT get into a car with them
• Do NOT let them persuade you to get into go-go dancing or prostitution.
