What is CSEC and How Does it Happen?

In this foundational episode, we explore what Commercial Sexual Exploitation of Children, or CSEC, is and how it happens. Joined by experts Skyler Larkin, Shenelle Jackson, and Bianca Hill, we break down what exploitation can look like, who may be vulnerable, and how traffickers often operate. This conversation is designed to help caregivers, providers, and community members better understand the realities of exploitation and how prevention begins with awareness. Later in the episode, we answer common caregiver questions about trafficking, online safety, and warning signs. We also discuss what to do if you are concerned about a child in your life.
