Children between the ages of 8 to 10 are usually the target of these prostitution recruiters. therefore, you need to teach children all that they need to know should in case they find themselves in such a predicament.

Make sure your child doesn't go to school and come back home all by her self.

Always check your child's email, direct messages on social media and all internet activities because recruiters can make use of this medium to build a relationship with your child and earn their trust.

Make sure you have a specific check-in time with your child when she goes out alone and make sure that she understands that if she doesn't check in at that time you will raise an alarm.

When your child attends a party, make sure that a venue is a safe place and that she is with people that you can trust because recruited have been reported to visit teenage parties very often.
