It is estimated that nearly 2 million children — mostly girls — are being sexually exploited as part of the multi-billion dollar commercial sex industry. And sadly, the United States is the number 1 consumer of child porn. This is a modern day form of slavery, involving: force, fraud, coercion, exploitation and a lot of shame. Today’s guest, Tim Ballard, is an advocate against child sex slavery. He’s the founder of Operation Underground Railroad — a non-profit organization to fight against child sex slavery and sex trafficking. This episode may not be easy to listen to, but it’s easily one of the most important you’ll ever hear.     Donate to Operation Underground Railroad   Links from today’s episode:   Learn more about Tim at TimBallard.net Learn more about  Operation Underground Railroad Follow Tim on Instagram @TimBallard89 and Facebook @OfficialTimBallard Recent must see documentaries The Abolitionists and Operation Toussaint Tim’s upcoming documentary The Sound of Freedom One of Tim’s best sell books Slave Stealers: True Accounts of Slave Rescues-Then and Now Check out all the Discounts and some of Chalene’s favorite things at Chalene.com/Deals Leave Chalene a message at  (619) 500-4819 Leave Chalene a Voicemail review or question  HERE Join our awesome PodSquad on Facebook here!
