🚨 URGENT PARENTAL ADVISORY🚨

A NEW FORM OF HUMAN TRAFFICKING AND SE*XPLOITATION IS ON THE RISE.

On a mission in South America, one of our team members, a retired U.S. Special Agent, whose career spanned 37 years of military and law enforcement service, helped uncover a jailhouse trafficking operation exploiting teenage girls through social media. In response to the case and findings, he wrote a letter of awareness directed to parents.

This isn’t a theory. It’s not a warning based on what could happen.

This actually happened—last month—and it’s happening again, every single day.

Here’s what parents need to know:
➡️ Predators posed as influencers and modelling agents
➡️ They searched profiles, targeting girls who wanted to be seen or discovered
➡️ They gained trust through flattery, then requested explicit content
➡️ Once images were sent, the threats began: “Send more or we’ll expose you.”

This is se*xtortion—and it leads to real-world trafficking and CSAM production, even from inside prison walls.

This is organized, calculated, and targeting children through everyday platforms.

To protect your child:
📱 Stay involved in their online world
💬 Talk early and often about manipulation and grooming
🧠 Educate yourself and your child—together
❌ Don’t assume they know the red flags

Facts and awareness are your strongest defence.

Swipe through to read the full letter. Then share it to protect others.

❗PART 2: READ THIS BEFORE YOU GIVE UP❗

If you’re in the fight of your life right now—don’t do it alone.

Isolation is one of the most dangerous parts of suicidal thoughts.
And even if you’ve tried reaching out before and it didn’t help—please try again.
Try someone new. Try again today.

🔁 A therapist
💬 A support group
📱 A hotline
🧍‍♂️ Or one person you trust

You weren’t meant to carry this pain alone.
Sometimes the right help just hasn’t shown up yet.
And sometimes healing starts in the tiniest conversation—where you finally feel heard.

You’re not too much.
You’re not a burden.
You are worthy of love and support.

🎥 WHAT IF YOUR GREATEST BATTLES PREPARED YOU FOR YOUR GREATEST PURPOSE? 💪

A new documentary is being filmed to share the raw, powerful, and redemptive story of Aerial Recovery—where veterans and first responders find healing through heroic service around the world! 🎬

Directed by Emmy® Award-winner Nick Nanton and produced by Abundance Studios®, this feature-length film will showcase the global missions of our veteran-led teams—responding to disasters, rescuing the vulnerable, and stopping evil around the world.

“This is more than a documentary,” says founder Britnie Turner. “It’s a message in a bottle to the veteran or first responder sitting alone in the dark, believing the lie that they are no longer useful. Aerial Recovery exists to prove them wrong - and show the world they’re needed more than ever.”

📍 Filming kicks off this week in Nashville, TN!

Aerial Recovery trains and deploys Veterans and First Responders as Humanitarian Special Operators to respond effectively to both natural and man-made disasters, as well as to combat human trafficking worldwide.

MAY IS MENTAL HEALTH AWARENESS MONTH.

Many of our heroes and first responders have faced great darkness, but it’s not only them who suffer from dark thoughts. The enemy only attacks that which he fears, and if you are struggling with darkness, please know, the feelings will pass. In the meantime, we have some ideas that may help...

❗READ THIS BEFORE YOU GIVE UP❗

If you’re feeling like you can’t go on, try this:

Make a deal.
Not forever—just 24 more hours.
Or even just one more hour.

In that time, do something completely different:
🌿 Go outside barefoot
📞 Call someone unexpected
📝 Write a letter
🎶 Blast music and dance like a kid again

Even if it feels silly—that pause might be enough to loosen the grip of hopelessness.

You’re not alone.
You’re not weak.
You’re human.
And this pain doesn’t get to write the ending.

Stay. Just a little longer.
The story might change.

🔍 HOW TO SPOT CHILD ABUSE

April is Child Abuse Prevention Month. At Aerial Recovery, we believe that protecting children starts with awareness—and that anyone can be a part of stopping abuse by learning the signs.

Abuse isn’t always visible. But being informed could make all the difference in a child’s life. Here are 9 important signs to look for:

🚨 Unexplained Injuries
Repeated bruises, burns, or broken bones—especially in different stages of healing—may signal physical harm.

😟 Sudden Behavioral Changes
Watch for withdrawal, anxiety, aggression, or sudden shifts in how a child acts or interacts with others.

🏠 Fear of Going Home
A child who fears returning home, clings to others, or avoids certain family members, they may be trying to protect themselves.

🧼 Poor Hygiene or Signs of Neglect
Consistently dirty clothing, lack of hygiene, untreated medical needs, or regular hunger could point to neglect.

⚠️ Se*ualized Behavior
Knowledge of se*ual topics or behavior that’s not age-appropriate can be a red flag for abuse.

🗣️ Reluctance to Speak
If a child becomes unusually quiet, avoids eye contact, or shuts down around specific people, it could indicate fear or trauma.

💔 Persistent Low Self-Esteem
Frequent self-criticism or feelings of negative self-image can be associated with children who are abused. These feelings arise when subjected to emotional or physical mistreatment.

🙇 Overly Compliant Behavior
A child who is excessively compliant or eager to please adults may be trying to avoid conflict or punishment. This behavior can be a
red flag for children living in abusive situations where they feel they must appease others to stay safe.

📣 Disclosure of Abuse
If a child directly discloses that they are being abused or hints at it, it must be taken seriously. Children often have difficulty expressing their experiences, so any mention of abuse should be approached with care and urgency.

You don’t need to have all the answers—you just need to care enough to act. If something feels off, say something. You may be the only one who does.

🚨 FEATURED IN LAW ENFORCEMENT TODAY 🚨

Aerial Recovery has signed an MOU with Honduras’ Ministerio Público to intensify efforts against human trafficking and sexual exploitation, focusing on rescuing vulnerable children.

This partnership grants Aerial Recovery access to government intelligence and logistical support, enabling rapid deployment, training for local law enforcement, and comprehensive aftercare for survivors. Honduras faces significant challenges as a source, transit, and destination for trafficking victims, with children being particularly vulnerable. This collaboration aims to address these issues head-on.

“Aerial Recovery now has similar agreements in place in Argentina and Mexico, and active programs in Brazil, Uruguay, Chile, Peru, Ecuador, Venezuela, Colombia, Guatemala, Dominican Republic, the USA, Spain, and Costa Rica, creating a strong global footprint,” says founder Britnie Turner.

The MOU hopes to accomplish the following objectives:

✅ Deploy teams more rapidly in response to actionable intelligence about suspected trafficking activity;

✅ Train local law enforcement and investigators in counter-trafficking operations and survivor-sensitive response techniques;

✅ Support survivor aftercare with medical, psychological, and reintegration resources through local and international partners;

✅ Collaborate directly with the Ministerio Publico to strengthen the pipeline of evidence collection and successful prosecution of traffickers.

🚨 FATHER ARRESTED & JAILED FOR CSAM POSSESSION 🚨

In the early hours of March 25th, 2025, Aerial Recovery joined forces with Peru’s Ministry of Prosecutors (MPF) and the National Police (PNP) Cybercrimes Directorate in response to a tip flagged by Google and reported through NCMEC.

Authorities located and apprehended a 33-year-old suspect who admitted to downloading and watching Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM). He was arrested on the spot and is now in jail.

Thanks to the diligent work of the Cybercrime Unit and Prosecutor’s Office, over 100 files are being reviewed in an attempt to identify the victims.

During the arrest, the suspect’s wife, devastated, confronted him:
“How would you like other men viewing your daughter like that?!”

🧠 What You Need to Know:

📉 Porn is NOT harmless. It often serves as a gateway to increasingly dehumanizing and abusive content—including CSAM. What starts as casual consumption of this s*xual exploitation can spiral into compulsive behavior that completely disregards the humanity of the victims—many of whom are trafficked, coerced, or underage.

🚩 Predators don’t always “look” like predators. This man was a father. He had two young children sleeping in the next room. This is the reality: Evil can hide in plain sight—within homes, families, and communities.

🧠 Porn rewires the brain. Prolonged exposure desensitizes people to abuse, and normalizes violence, exploitation, and domination. It blurs the line between fantasy and reality—and in many cases, fuels the demand for material created through real-world child exploitation.

🛑 Every image is a crime scene. Every video is a child being abused—again and again—each time it is downloaded or viewed.

We must talk about these things.
We must expose the pipeline that dehumanizes victims and fuels the demand for this crime.
We must stop evil before it spreads.

For this ongoing investigation we pray the cyber teams can identify and locate these victims ensuring the vulnerable are protected and predators are held accountable.
