Instead he found a three-bag-a-day heroin addiction.</p><p><br></p><p>When he'd go with his friends to the prostitution track to rob sex buyers to support his habit he noticed the only ones getting arrested were the girls. That hatched a plan to protect himself from jail time while still making enough money to buy dope. At 16 he talked his 14-year-old girlfriend into letting him sell her embarking on a 32-year career trafficking more than 150 victims in all 50 states Canada and Europe.</p><p><br></p><p>Derek takes us deep inside the mind of a trafficker pulling back the veil on the psychological warfare they wage against our children. Each chapter intertwines Derek's story with evidence-based research practical tools and personal insights to not only prevent children from becoming the victim of someone like he was <strong><em>but to keep them from becoming who he was.</em></strong></p>
