¿Sabía ¿Qué es el tráfico sexual de niños? El tráfico sexual de niños ocurre cuando un menor está involucrado en un acto sexual comercial, en el cual se intercambia sexo por dinero, comida, albergue o cualquier otra cosa de valor. Los perpetradores de tráfico sexual por lo regular escogen niños, creyendo que su edad les permite ser manipulados y controlados más fácilmente. Este crimen está ocurriendo en todo tipo de comunidades alrededor de Estados Unidos, y los traficantes están obteniendo alarmantes ganancias mientras que las víctimas son objeto de abuso y de violencia. Una de las cosas más importantes que usted puede hacer para proteger a su hijo/hija es crear un ambiente en el que él o ella se sienta cómodo/a viéndolo a usted como un adulto confiable con quien puede platicar.
