When Missing Youth Are Not Just Missing: Exploitation Comes In Many Forms

Recently, we watched a powerful investigative report by CBC’s The Fifth Estate titled “Searching for Ontario’s Missing Black Boys.” (1) It is careful journalism that parents should take seriously. The report examines a disturbing pattern of Black boys from the Greater Toronto Area being reported missing and later located in remote regions of Ontario.

What makes this investigation particularly important is that it challenges a common misconception. Human trafficking is often spoken about only in the context of sexual exploitation. This report shows clearly that trafficking can also involve criminal exploitation, including the coercion of youth into drug distribution networks.

This article explains how youth can be lured into criminal exploitation without ever crossing a border, and why these cases may meet the legal definition of human trafficking. This article explains what parents need to understand about control, coercion, and why laying charges is far harder than it seems.
