Ending the Foster Care Pipeline to Trafficking

No Trafficking Zones: Taking Back Our Schools and Communities

In this episode, Jacquelyn Aluotto, Co-Founder of No Trafficking Zone, details the groundbreaking work her organization has done to transform vulnerable spaces into active “No Trafficking Zones” through legislation, enforcement initiatives, and strategic partnerships. From schools and foster care facilities to universities, sports stadiums, and major entertainment venues, No Trafficking Zone has pioneered real-world systems designed to deter traffickers, strengthen criminal penalties, and protect children before exploitation occurs. Aluotto explains how the landmark No Trafficking School Zone Act in Texas established enhanced felony penalties for traffickers targeting children in and around schools, school-sponsored activities, and through digital grooming tactics conducted online. The conversation also explores the organization’s expansion into large-scale sporting events and entertainment venues, where No Trafficking Zone has worked alongside law enforcement and response teams to monitor trafficking activity and combat exploitation tied to high-demand events.

Ending the Foster Care Pipeline to Trafficking

In this episode of Not On My Watch, April Moss sits down with Leah Stauffer, founder of Half A Million Kids, to confront a sobering reality facing vulnerable children across the United States. With hundreds of thousands of children in the foster care system, many lacking stability and consistent oversight, Stauffer explains how systemic breakdowns are creating dangerous conditions that can lead to exploitation and trafficking. Stauffer outlines a bold, three-phase plan designed to course correct the system, beginning with a technology-driven solution to modernize outdated processes, support overwhelmed caseworkers, and improve real-time matching between children and families. From the caseworker crisis to the lack of reliable data, this conversation sheds light on the root causes behind the system’s failures and offers a clear, actionable path forward to place more children into safe, loving homes.

Grooming And The Fight To Protect Our Children

In this powerful episode of Not On My Watch, host April Moss sits down with child-protection advocate Michelle Peterson, whose personal fight for justice helped lead to the first unlawful grooming conviction in the United States. Michelle shares the deeply personal story of how she first discovered that her teenage son Andrew had been targeted by a trusted teacher and coach. What began as a mother’s instinct that something was wrong soon revealed a disturbing pattern of manipulation and grooming, tactic predators often use to gain the trust of both children and their families before abuse occurs. Determined to protect her son and prevent other families from experiencing the same trauma, Michelle helped expose critical gaps in the law surrounding grooming. Her advocacy contributed to the creation of the first standalone grooming conviction in the country and has since inspired legislative efforts known as Andrew’s Law [https://fileserve.oneinterweb.net/mpeterson/ANDREWs-LAW-FEDERAL-BILL-1.pdf], aimed at strengthening protections for children nationwide. Throughout the conversation, Michelle explains how grooming works, the warning signs parents should watch for, and why trusting parental instincts can make all the difference. She also discusses her ongoing work helping states adopt stronger laws so predators can be prosecuted before abuse escalates. This episode is a sobering but hopeful reminder that vigilance, courage, and informed parents remain some of the most powerful tools in protecting the next generation.

The Spiritual Battle For America's Children

In this month’s Not On My Watch, host April Moss interviews Jenny Donnelly, founder of the HER VOICE Movement, about the urgent battle for America’s children and why parents can no longer afford silence. Donnelly shares how cultural forces are targeting kids through schools and institutions that undermine parental authority and God’s design for family—but she also offers a clear blueprint for action. She explains the origins of #DontMessWithOurKids, first launched in Peru in 2016, and how that movement inspired #DontMessWithOurKids USA, launched in July 2023. Jenny details how united prayer, fasting, and bold public engagement—including state capitol gatherings on April 13, 2024—can shift culture and protect the next generation.
