## Resource

Child trafficking, child exploitation, and missing children are not distant headlines. They are an industrial-scale assault hiding behind words like “runaway” and “awareness.” In this episode of Dangerous Intellectuals, former CIA Special Operations officer, Marine, and Association for the Recovery of Children founder Bazzel Baz names the size of the human trafficking fight — and why slogans do not bring abducted kids home. Baz built ARC to recover missing, exploited, and trafficked American children at home and overseas, at no cost to families. This conversation covers what official systems still fail to do, what real child recovery requires, and how citizens should think about protecting kids without panic.
