We are blessed to be able to announce that we will be launching our Pilot Human Trafficking Prevention Program this week. It has been an adventure reaching our goal and we are looking forward to keeping children safe.
We want to give a huge THANK YOU to all the people who support us and believe in Human Trafficking education and prevention.
Human Trafficking Drills can help prepare our children to know how to respond if they are approached online.

The day started with all volunteers and board members in prayer. The 5K was quick to follow. Please click on the link below to read more about the event.
After an anti-trafficking presentation for our 5K participants at Canyon Lakes Brewery a new crowd joined us for a Pit Master contest.
The Winners “Ron and David Mayer”, “Central Ne Human Trafficking”, and “Gustavo Ruiz & Gerardo Alonzo” we all in high spirits.
Dawn and Shawn Cromer were our professional level BBQs who served with a full heart and willingness to fight against this crime. One of the best parts of the day was having fun while discussing such a heavy topic.

The smiles did not end with champions and full tummies; We had raffle winners too! Here are a few of our winners.
We at TRAFFIC STOP INC. 501(c)(3) have full hearts and are grateful for the support. We WILL see you all next year!
“When people have many adverse child experiences (ACE Score) such as sexual, physical, and emotional abuse combined with abandonment, shame, ridicule, and tragic suffering often we are unequipped to know/sense or see red flags. These traumas make it difficult to know that we can stop or walk away from new traumatic experiences. Because our normal is tragic suffering and dysfunction, we do not know how to keep ourselves safe. Our negative experiences are higher than those who have a lower ACE score, even in adulthood. Therefore, we are flash-flooded with ‘messed-up’ experiences throughout our lifetime (it is as if our security system was not installed). Our PTSD responses compound and grow. We explain this for you to understand why we are jumping and bouncing all around in this novel. It is because of Marley’s trauma and her high ACE score. Finding a way to express this phenomenon happened after years of processing, writing, and editing this novel side by side.”
With Love,
