Food for Thought LIFE MATTERS - Rampart Defense

On this LIFE MATTERS segment, Dan Gazelka, a 13 year law enforcement veteran from Rampart Defense in Clearbrook MN, brings awareness to the very real threat of sex-trafficking which exists in our rural area. Minnesota is the second largest importer and exporter of Human Trafficking in America because the Duluth harbors. He states grimly: if you have internet and depressed children in your area, you have sex-trafficking. He goes on to cite instances and cases involving children and abusers and the disparity of the consequences compared to the atrocity of the crimes. Dan goes on to report that our state legislature has rejected support of bills which would safeguard our children and require crimes against children to show up on background checks. He encourages healthy, consistent parental involvement in the lives of their children to safeguard against social contact which might involve adults posing as children. Pursuing education and hands-on training to equip parents and children can be very effective when seconds matter and police are minutes away.
