In this YouTube short, Dr. John A. King highlights that 55–65% of human trafficking victims are male and that roughly 45% of perpetrators are female. He critiques the prevailing safety messaging that focuses almost exclusively on warning girls about male strangers while neglecting to educate boys about female predators and how to recognize dangerous environments. King argues that boys are often socialized to be protective and confrontational, yet they lack guidance on identifying risk from women. He calls for a balanced approach that teaches both genders about all forms of predation and equips boys with the skills to assess and avoid risky spaces.
