Posted on Sunday, May 11, 2025 by Peter Kaye

Peter Kaye speaks with Susan Lingenfelter of Long Island Against Trafficking about the prevalence of human trafficking in the area. Lingenfelter states that Long Island is one of the top twenty locations in the county for human trafficking. She gives the alarming statistic that a third of traffickers are family members. Lingenfelter gives practical tips for parents to help protect their children while online. She dispels common misconceptions regarding trafficking and says that it can be put into two categories: physical exploitation trafficking and labor trafficking. Lingenfelter contrasts the two and encourages people to get involved in spreading awareness of the topic.
