Welcome to Understanding the Human Condition with your host, Dr. James Flowers.
How are you?
I’m great, how are you?
I love this weather. It’s a beautiful week, isn’t it?
I know, and for those who don’t know, we’re taping this on Election Day. This is good. It’s taking our mind off of it, right?
Absolutely, sure is.
On the front page of the Houston Chronicle, the lead story was how to stay focused and how to keep your stress low, breathe, visualize, and get through this day. I’m super excited about our guest.
Breanna, welcome.
Nice to see you all.
Thanks for joining us.
Thank you.
Good to be here.
I thought I’d read a little bio, and then we can get started with a great conversation. Breanna Fetkevich is the Director of Outreach in Texas for Street Grace, which is a faith-based organization that utilizes evidence-based demand reduction strategies to eradicate the commercial sexual exploitation of children.
Can we stop right there? Tell us just about that. A faith-based organization that utilized evidence-based demand reduction strategies. What does that mean?
That can be a mouthful, right?
Yeah.
Traditionally, there have been a lot of organizations fighting trafficking, and the reason for that is this is not a one-way-in, one-way-out problem. This is a multifaceted issue that is happening around the globe. It’s happening here in our city, in small towns, and metro areas. As a result, there’s a lot of different ways that we have to fight this. We really have to approach it holistically.
Got it.
We’ve focused most of our time, our money, our energy, our law enforcement efforts, and our legislation, from a faith-based perspective, that tactic on providing services to survivors, and that’s important work. I did that work, and I worked in a safe house for a number of years, walked with survivors as they journey back to healing. It’s incredibly difficult. They need really specialized care, but unfortunately, focusing on providing services to survivors, while that has to continue, will not end trafficking, and so we use demand reduction principles. That’s looking at the other side of this, going, why don’t we stop this from happening in the first place? If there was no demand for exploited children, then we would have no exploited children, so we look at everything through this three-pronged approach that involves demand reduction. That’s the way we look at everything.
If there was no demand for exploited children, then we would have no exploited children.
Got it. That helps so much. One more question out of that first introductory part of the bio. When you talk about being a faith-based organization that utilizes it and working at it from a faith-based approach, tell me about that.
Street Grace has been around for about twelve years. We’re based in metro Atlanta, and it was really founded out of a handful of folks from different denominations and different faith backgrounds going, “We have a major problem in our city. Let’s do something about it.” We’ve always been a child-focused organization. We’ve always been faith-based in that we realize that if we utilize the resources in the community, meaning multiple churches, synagogues, and all the different things that there are out there to offer, we can reach a specific audience that can then spread this information to the community.
If they’re aware of how to keep their own family, their own congregation safe, then they can be talking about this at their place of business, their civic groups, or their different sports teams with their kids. We have this ripple effect of really reaching the community as we start with the faith community being our home base for that.
Amazing. Thank you.
You do a lot of networking too, which is how we met. We met at the Greater Women’s Houston Chamber, and you came up afterwards. I remember exactly. I was there, and my former position was Selective Search, and you walked up and said, “My girlfriends need a safe place. They can’t go online because it’s too scary there. There are too many predators.” Just hearing that what we were doing was offline for dating, you’re like, “That’s a safe place for them, right?”
Very exciting.
Pretty cool, so then you’re just really great at keeping in touch. She’s really great at following.
We have friends in so many different arenas because we really believe that we have to take a holistic approach. We can’t just be in the areas where faith-based folks are. We need to be in chambers. We need to be training businesses. We do trainings for law enforcement, for judges, for schools, private, public schools. Every area that we can speak this truth, then we have a greater chance at fighting this because everybody has a role to play, whether you’re a truck driver or a CEO or you work at a nail salon.
Absolutely. You want to read a little bit more?
Yeah, I’ll get back to your bio. Sorry. Breanna has always been passionate about human rights, especially pertaining to women and children. Her focus is communication and training to fight against the injustice of sex trafficking. She served as a missionary in Mozambique, Africa, with Project Purpose International. She ran a center where women engaged in the sex trade could find resources, employment, and a safe harbor for their children, and most importantly of all, hope. She directed the largest and most successful fundraising event in the history of the ministry.
That’s amazing.
Awesome.
Tell us about that fundraising experience for the ministry.
When I was with Project Purpose, their main mission is to help women in Southeast Africa and Mozambique who are engaged in essentially need-based trafficking. These women are selling their bodies because their children need rice, and they need uniforms to go to school, and they say that prostitution in Mozambique is as common as a handshake. That’s because of the overwhelming amount of poverty that they face, and they don’t have access to resources, especially as a single woman, to have any other form of employment to take care of their family.
What we would do is we would connect them with our faith center where they could come, they could get resources, they could get set up with actually a lingerie-selling business. There was a three-year program we partnered with an organization called Free the Girls, based out of Denver, free plug if you all are listening. They set these ladies up with this program where, for the first year, they have everything they need to set up their own little business, which gives them a lot of independence and freedom and some dignity. With something like selling lingerie, which they’re traditionally used to exploit, by the third year, they’re self-sufficient.
We also had a center for their children. We called it the Promise Center. It operated a lot like an orphanage, but these weren’t orphans. Their mothers were just sex workers, and so they would live at the orphanage to keep them out of this life of exploitation and get them schooling and a safe place to be while their moms were getting alternative employment. Eventually, they would go back home. It was like foster care in Africa. We were able to host a fundraiser event we called Dance Upon Injustice. I’m a dancer, grew up as a dancer, and so I taught dance to these Mozambican kids. We served it as a fundraiser and an awareness event for the community.
That’s amazing. Congratulations.
Thank you.
That’s so cool. Speaking of being a dancer, what brought you into this field from dancing? Were you a professional dancer?
I was not. I didn’t choose to go that route, but this is a question I get frequently because people, when they find out the truth about what human trafficking really looks like, it can feel really heavy and really dark. People naturally want to know, why do you want to spend your life doing this? It actually came to me. I was a senior in college, and I was a communications major, and I was supposed to do a project.
What college?
Olivet Nazarene University.
There you go.
A Christian school outside of Chicago, and we had to do a project on a controversial topic, but it couldn’t be one that was overused. It couldn’t be something that was pretty commonly controversial. Back then, this was not something that people were really talking about very frequently, and I actually learned about an organization through a fictional book called Redeeming Love. It’s a fictional portrayal of a biblical story of Hosea, but the young girl, she takes a little creative liberty. In that story, the woman is a prostitute. In the book, she was exploited by her uncle when she’s 3 or 4 years old, and it shows her life progression into becoming a sex worker.
Anyway, it’s a really beautiful story of redemption. I learned about human trafficking, and I started doing research, and once I found out about this through an organization called Love 146, it’s actually based here in Texas, funny how roads brought me here eventually, I found out that there were little girls in India, Cambodia, and Thailand who had numbers on their chests and were being sold into brothels when they were 4 or 5 years old, and only 2% of them were ever rescued. It was one of those things that once I found out about that, I had to do something about it, and I’ve been doing something about it ever since.
Wow. How long has that been?
That was 2008 when I learned about human trafficking, so I was a little bit discouraged early on because I feverishly wrote emails to all of these anti-trafficking organizations, and they all said, “I’d love to have you as a volunteer.” That shows just how much the landscape has changed in 2008, 2009. These small organizations raising awareness couldn’t afford to pay anybody. I couldn’t do this as a job, and so that’s how I ended up becoming a missionary and then coming here to Houston to work in a safe house, and now with Street Grace.
I was preparing for this and just reading, and I realized in my own mind, being a mental health practitioner, that it’s a subject that I just don’t know a lot about. I felt guilty reading it. I was like, I should educate myself more on this, and I need to know more about this. Then I started thinking about, I was in the airport in Miami, changing planes, and had to walk from one end of the airport to the other. I stopped at two different restrooms, and in every restroom in Miami, I noticed the signs on the urinal that said, “If you’re a victim of human sex trafficking, please call this number right now.” Then I walked and walked and walked and went to another restroom, and it was the same.
I remember it just, I was like, “What? Why would they have that in this restroom?” A couple of years later, I was at a Chinese restaurant here in Houston and went to the restroom, and it was the same exact sign on 45 South going towards Galveston at this Chinese restaurant. It struck me again, and I was like, I need to know more about this. I know you talked about Cambodia and other countries, and you did work over there. What are the numbers like in Cambodia and there versus here? Is this a major thoroughfare?
We have some global estimations on trafficking, and depending on what source you go to, you’re going to find different numbers in the millions and the billions, and it’s really difficult to come up with a number. That’s because human trafficking is the second-largest, fastest-growing illegal crime on the planet. It’s really difficult to get accurate data on illegal industries, and only 2% of victims are ever rescued. It’s exciting to see things like that in our bathrooms, but you know what the trouble is? Most victims of human trafficking that I’ve worked with in all of this time I’ve been in the space, when they were being exploited, they’d never heard the word human trafficking.
Human trafficking is the second largest fastest growing crime on the planet.
They didn’t know they were a victim of human trafficking. They don’t necessarily know that what is happening to them is happening to hundreds of thousands of other women and men and children across the nation and across the globe. They just know that their situation is bad, and they don’t know how to get out of it. They don’t know there are organizations devoted to helping them and hundreds of thousands of dollars for their recovery. I didn’t encounter a single woman that came through our safe house that was like, “I knew I was being trafficked.” They didn’t even have that language.
I knew someone was looking for me.
Months into us uncovering, and that’s because of the complex emotional manipulation and ties that these traffickers create with their victims, much like you would see in most of us are fairly familiar with domestic violence situations and the battered woman syndrome. She loves her husband or a significant other and believes that he loves her, and she starts to believe that she’s the problem. It’s like that, only exponentially worse when you’re talking about a trafficking victim, especially if that manipulation started when they were a child.
When they’re five years old, you said.
Certainly, and so here in our city, in our state, we do have some numbers that we can look at. The University of Texas put out a study that says there are roughly 314,000 victims of human trafficking in Texas alone, and almost 80,000 of those are children. One in four girls and one in six boys, not far behind, surprisingly, will be sexually exploited before they turn eighteen in the state of Texas. So this isn’t a small problem that is only happening to our areas of poverty or the at-risk kids. This is a massive problem happening in the suburbs, the metro areas, the affluent areas, the rural areas. There really isn’t a stigma, and that’s what a lot of people don’t realize. The movie and the media will make it seem as if kids are being kidnapped every day, and yes, that does happen in our country, but that’s not the vast majority of the way that trafficking is happening here.
Public Perception Of Traffickers
Before the show, we were just having a brief conversation, and one of the things that you mentioned is that it’s not always this ring of sex traffickers. It can be the woman next door with her child. Talk a little bit about that, and that it’s not always this public image of Jeffrey Epstein.
Trafficking looks a lot different than a lot of people think, and movies like Taken and these sorts of things. Yes, that can happen. Our kids can be kidnapped, and unfortunately, the Center for Missing and Exploited Children tells us that 60% of kids that are missing are because they’re being trafficked, but for a lot of these kids, they’re not being caught up in some celebrity scandal. It’s their uncle or their dad who has been selling them to their buddies down the street since they were 5 or 6 years old and threatening them and manipulating them, and their mom doesn’t even know. They’re riding the school bus with other kids, and they have no idea what’s happening to them on the weekends.
They’re not being thrown in a trunk and driven to Mexico. They’re just interacting with somebody online that’s exploiting them for their photos or their videos. Sometimes it’s our young boys who are playing video games, and they become victims of what we call sextortion. They’re offered online currency, this isn’t even a real exchange. They’re given $100 in this video game in order for them to send a nude picture. They get caught up in this, where eventually that person on the other end is requiring them to do things they don’t feel comfortable with, and they feel like they can’t tell anybody. That’s how a lot of the exploitation happens through Snapchat, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, all of these platforms that we use every day, and we don’t see that there’s really any harm in them.
TikTok, arguably one of the most sexualized platforms out there. You said parents can be traffickers. Students, unfortunately, children can be other traffickers. That usually comes from, they’ve been exploited, they’ve been manipulated, they’ve been convinced by their exploiter to recruit other children, or they’ve been threatened or coerced to do so through social media platforms, through their soccer team, through their youth group. It looks a lot different than what we often see covered in the news. It can look just like you said, the person down the street. Sexual predators don’t have a profile, and children don’t have a profile.
All different ages, ethnicities, socioeconomic groups. Children that come from at-risk situations are more vulnerable. Kids that come through the child protective services, they’re 60% more likely to be trafficked. Then we have kids who we would just call our average American kids who are victims of this as well.
Identifying The Problem
How does the listener, like parents, friends, with anyone really listening, how do we pick up on that there may be a problem?
That’s a great question.
I don’t even know if I phrased that correctly.
That’s the thing. A lot of parents, if they feel like they’re involved in their children’s lives, would never really consider that their child could become a victim of human trafficking. But honestly, the greatest risk factor in 2020 for a child being sexually exploited is their access to technology. During this pandemic, our children have been technology-involved. We’ve all been on technology more than ever before, and unfortunately, sexual predators are taking full advantage of that. I’m going to share with you some of those red flags and warning signs. One of the ways that we know that, unfortunately, sex trafficking hasn’t come to a reaching halt, like a lot of our other businesses, is we actually have technology working for us. We have an artificially intelligent chatbot called Gracie.
Who’s we?
Street Grace.
Great.
I said we take a multifaceted approach of prevention, policy, and pursuit, and that pursuit is this chatbot. What she does is, I call her she. She’s not a she. She’s a technology, but we act like she’s a member of the Street Grace team. As we speak, as we’re recording this, she is chatting with up to 10,000 sexual predators simultaneously in fifteen states across the United States. Three cities here in Texas, Houston being one of them. She can pretend to be a fifteen-year-old girl in Houston who’s advertising sex for sale on a number of these websites where, at any given time, you can go on-site. It looks like Craigslist or Amazon for a sexual encounter.
She can be a seventeen-year-old African-American girl in Tennessee and a thirteen-year-old Asian girl in California at the same time. When this predator interacts, he’s scrolling through on his lunch break, we know the average predator is about, this might surprise you, an upper-class white married man. That’s the average sexual predator. Not what we think, not what culture tells us. He clicks on one of those ads, engages in a text message conversation. He can negotiate with our chatbot, Gracie, where are they going to meet? What’s it going to cost? What sex acts are going to occur, etc., all in a way that he has no idea that she’s a technology and not a real person. Then, eventually, he’ll get what we call our deterrence message.
It says something like, “This isn’t Jessica or Sarah or Brittany. What you’re doing is a felony in all 50 states, punishable by up to $100,000 in fines and 40 years in federal prison. Your name and phone number are now in a permanent file accessible to state, local, and federal law enforcement.” We work with state, local, and federal law enforcement to help them in their arrests and facilitate this process that has traditionally been really resource- and time-heavy and money-heavy on law enforcement. We make that a lot more efficient for them. Then we send them an extra text message a couple of hours later from a different number, connecting them to resources for help. Because we know that behind every sexual predator is something else.
Behind every sexual predator is often unresolved trauma or addiction.
People don’t just wake up one day with the desire to meet up with an eight-year-old for a sexual encounter. It’s a progression, and from sex buyers we’ve worked with, almost always one of these two things, or both, sexual abuse in their past that they have not dealt with, or a progressive addiction to pornography that has progressed. They’re wanting to meet up with younger folks, and so we send them a link to a private website where they can get resources in their community for counselors, for addiction-certified, trauma-informed recovery groups, psychologists, resources, everything they would need to get to the root of that problem.
We can actually monitor how many of them are clicking through these resources for help. We’ve seen a huge uptick during COVID. We’re up 15%, up to 30% of these buyers are clicking through these resources to get help, and Gracie’s been a part of over 200,000 text exchanges so far. It’s one of the greatest weapons we have to fight the demand, even in places where we aren’t. We’re fighting that demand, and I say this to loop it back to your question, as a parent, what can I do? We want to educate our kids about things that might lead to the demand. What can you do? Talk to your kids about pornography.
Unfortunately, the vast majority of kids are not learning about sex from their parents. We know that. In this day and age, they’re learning about sex from their friends, but overwhelmingly, they’re learning about sex from pornography. Why is that troublesome? The messaging of online pornography is 80% of it features violence. A bonus point out there, violence toward women of color. To a child that doesn’t know anything about sex, a girl, for example, she’s learning about sex from pornography. She sees that not only is it normal and natural for me to be abused, violated, degraded, it’s to be celebrated. This is what a woman does, and this is how a sexual encounter should look. Actually, they’ve done all of this research to find that girls that watch porn, ages 12 to 17, are 75% more likely to be sexually assaulted or abused than girls that don’t.
On the boys’ token, boys that are eighteen that watch porn are 75% more likely to seek out sex for purchase than boys that don’t. Because their message is, women are to be used for sexual gratification, and I can not only be violent, I can do whatever I want, and they should and would enjoy it. So when their real-life partner does not enjoy what is happening, that’s when they’re looking at a massage parlor or an escort service, that can turn into a child. Talking to your kids about difficult topics like pornography. Do you know their online friends? Are they video gaming with people and chatting with them? That’s the new way of things. You don’t just video game at home, you put on your headset, you text.
There are tons of predators out there. Do you know who they are meeting up with? A lot of kids don’t even understand that there’s a difference between, as they call it, IRL, in real life, friends and social media friends. They’ve never grown up in a world without technology like you or I have, and so there is no differentiation between my online friends and my real friends. You really have to go that extra level as a parent to go, “What are the privacy settings on their phone? Have we talked about things like sexting?” One in four kids are participating in sexting. It’s rampant. Have we talked about pornography?
A lot of parents are hesitant, and rightfully so, because they think, “Well, I don’t want to open up the doors to curiosity too early.” But all the research says that the more often you talk about sex and sexuality with your children, and the earlier, the less likely they are to engage in risky sexual behavior.
The more often you talk about sex and sexuality with your children, the less likely they are to engage in risky sexual behavior.
Where do parents find the tools to learn how to talk to their children about sex? Because, as you said, like people our age, it gets uncomfortable, and we don’t want to talk to our kids about it. It’s like, “What do I say?” Where do they go to find out healthy communication with your child about sex?
It is one of the most difficult days and ages to be a child, to be a teenager. I also think it is one of the most difficult times to be a parent. The disconnect between children and parents seems to be getting so large because of technology. They don’t have to go to their parents to shape their political beliefs, their religious beliefs. They’re getting that from social media, and the same with sexuality. It’s very intimidating. It’s very overwhelming, and most parents, they didn’t grow up with pornography. They didn’t grow up with this technology. They’re thinking, “My parents talked to me about sex when I was like 17 or 18.” The first exposure to pornography for the average child is only nine, and so if we’re waiting until 17 or 18, it is far too late.
We at Street Grace offer a lot of different resources. A couple of things, we do free prevention education for the community. You can contact us if you would like your church trained. You’d like us to come to your child’s school, your PTA meeting, your Rotary Club, anything like that. We have a training called Keeping Kids Safe in the Digital Age. That’s exactly what it is. Going through these apps, how do they work? What is the grooming process? We also have a book we wrote called Keeping Kids Safe in a Digital World: A Solution That Works. It’s a handbook for caring parents and adults that you can access at one of our trainings or online.
We have a wealth of free resources on our website. We’ve animated videos, we have two of them. We created one on What’s the Big Deal with Sexting? and Your Brain on Porn. They’re animated, like 3-to-4-minute videos that are very non-shaming, really easy to introduce this subject. We have recorded trainings with the Department of Homeland Security, specifically for if you have an elementary kid or a middle school kid. We did all of this for COVID because we wanted to equip parents in the same way we would in person, but virtually, so all of those things are available on our website. We also have a YouTube channel where you can view them.
Finding Street Grace
Amazing, outstanding. How do people find Street Grace?
Pretty easy, StreetGrace.org, and if you want to find us on all of our social media, it’s also just Street Grace. Our YouTube is Street Grace. The only one that’s a little different is if you’re listening out there and you have a TikTok and you want to find us. We are at Help Locker, which is one of our newest initiatives, which is a model of what we’re launching in the Houston area schools in public. We’re going to be wrapping lockers in schools where kids can open up this locker and they can get information about, “What do I do if I’m in an abusive online relationship? What if the person exploiting me is my dad, and he’s told me never to tell anyone? What do I do if someone’s pressuring me to send a nude photo?”
We’ve taken that in-person platform that has the human trafficking hotline, all kinds of resources, and we’ve moved it to where kids are. We already have over 100,000 followers on our TikTok, and we haven’t even publicly announced it, because this is a place where we want to meet students where they are and infuse some truth into one of the most sexualized platforms out there that also has a lot of myths about human trafficking. Crazy things I hear about, like if you come out to your car and there’s a jar of honey on your hood, that means a trafficker has tagged you and you better look under your car because he’s going to grab your ankles. These kinds of things come out, like a new one every month, and so it’s great to have some truth out there in this crazy world where we have to sort through a lot of non-truth.
I want to go back, I know you have a couple of questions, Robbin, but I wanted to go back and just ask because my brain thinks this way. Gracie, so amazing that Street Grace has access to that technology, AI, right?
Yes.
How does something like that get funded by Street Grace, to be able to purchase something? Because it’s got to be outrageously expensive. That was my question, is how are you funded?
Although we have a lot of really passionate people at Street Grace, we are not a technology company. Therefore, we don’t have the capability to build a first-of-its-kind artificially intelligent chatbot, so we have some partners. We worked with a university because we wanted to have a peer-reviewed, published report. Actually, Gracie was created for research initially. We worked with Kennesaw State University. We worked with the Center for Disease Control. We also worked with the largest ad agency on the planet, BBDO, and BBDO is a major partner of ours. They’ve helped us produce some phenomenal video content, things for our youth initiatives. They helped us build this chatbot, and they did it for us.
It’s millions of dollars of work they did for us for free, and so we actually offer it to the community for free, although it costs us. We have to pay to maintain it. We have to pay to upload the ads, but we’re trying to raise money so we can get Gracie in every city of over 100,000 people or more, and that’s going to cost us about another million dollars. So we’re privately funded by donors, churches, and businesses, and we would love some more support to get Gracie there.
If anybody out there has a million dollars they’d like to donate before the end of the year, go to StreetGrace.org.
It would be well spent.
That’s right.
That was my question, namely, was about how do you exist? Is it private donations?
Yes.
In just these last few minutes, I thought that we’d mentioned the human trafficking hotline.
Great.
That number is 888-373-7888, so when someone calls that hotline, what will happen?
They will get an operator that will connect them to somebody in their city. They are routed by where you are, and you can make an anonymous report if you would like. You don’t have to give your information. You just say essentially what you saw, what you observed, whether that was online, somebody you knew, or somebody you just saw at a gas station. You can do this nights, holidays, weekends, anytime. They will save the information because it’s always better to report something even if you have no idea if it’s correct. It’s better to report and be wrong than not say anything at all, because they compile all of these tips, and they can be really helpful and can possibly save a life. So it’s a great number to keep on hand. If you forget it, just Google it, the National Human Trafficking Hotline. It’ll be the first one that comes up.
It’s always better to report something even if you’re unsure than to say nothing at all.
Work With The LGBTQ Population
I wanted to ask another question just about a subpopulation within our community, do you do any work with the LGBTQ population, and do you see a higher rate of prevalence in that population?
That’s a great question. We do see a higher rate of prevalence, specifically when we’re talking about young boys. So remember, one in four girls will be sexually exploited, but one in six boys. This isn’t exclusively a girls’ issue, and where we see the major rise in it being a boys’ issue is in the video gaming industry, but in the homeless runaway population, and then in those that identify with some other alternative sexuality. They have a big red target on their back. There’s a big demand for it in the porn industry, which fuels the exploitation, unfortunately, and so when we’re doing work with students, that’s something we talk about a lot.
I hate that we ran out of time.
I do too, I could sit here for another two hours.
I could too.
It’s such a topic I think that’s so necessary, and one more time, if you will, just tell us how to reach either you or Street Grace and let everybody know the website, anything you want to let them know.
Our website is StreetGrace.org. You can find free resources there, information about our training, which are all free, how you’d like to book a speaker. We have some policy initiatives coming up, we didn’t even talk about that. If that interests you, how you can get involved in changing legislation. You can learn more about Gracie. My email, I’m going to give it to all of you, is [email protected]. I would love to chat with you, answer any questions. You can find us on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and YouTube at Street Grace, as well as on TikTok at Help Locker.
Very cool. Thank you for dedicating your whole career and really your life to something so important, and thanks for what you guys do in Street Grace. It’s such an important topic, so thanks for being here.
Thank you for having me.
Thank you, and we’ll see you, or you’ll hear us, next week.
