Human Traffickers Target Social Media and Dating Sites. “There's lots of different dating websites, lots of social media websites. These traffickers are hitting all of them," said Margie Quin, Tennessee Bureau of Investigation Assistant Special Agent.” Quin also mentions that there are criminals sending hundreds and thousands of messages pretending to actually be on the dating website and a few women actually reply to these messages. Parents monitoring their social media accounts are also important because these predators are looking for children that are between the ages of 12-16. Quin lastly mentions that social media is a “tremendous tool for us in the 21st Century, but it can also be the greatest danger” because there are so many young children on the internet.
