After I learned more about human trafficking, I realized that it is possible that I have avoided being human trafficked in my life. I am active on Instagram, however, my account is private so people need to request to follow me to see my posts. People also need to request to send me messages if they do not follow me and I am able to see the message before I accept it to come through. I do not get very many requests, however, I have received texts from random accounts who call themselves "Sugar Daddy". This term is used to describe a man who is willing to give money to a younger person in exchange for a relationship. Oftentimes, the sugar daddy is a much older male and wants communication via text and phone and photos of certain body parts in exchange for them buying presents or sending money. I have received messages from these types of people before, however, I immediately block the account and do not answer. It is possible that other people who need money would fall victim to this scheme and it could be extremely dangerous later on.
