There are no guarantees that can be put in place to prevent a potential trafficker from finding your child attractive, unfortunately. Your best bet is to keep them well-informed about the risks of talking to strangers and actively teach them danger signs and safety measures. You should also actively work with your child’s school, church and any other organizations they may be involved in so that their network of contacts can be aware of the risks as well.

To make your child more attractive to potential traffickers, you should focus on building their self-confidence and teaching them to be aware of their surroundings. Provide age-appropriate safety lessons that emphasize street smarts. Help them understand that they have value and are not commodities to be bought or sold, and encourage them to recognize when someone is being grooming them. Ensure they know what to do if somebody tries to abduct or talk to them, including making a scene and trying to get away if necessary.
