Lara Logan’s latest Going Rogue episode examines how traffickers target children in schools, stadiums, foster care settings, online platforms, and other places where they live and gather.
Episode 82, titled “No Trafficking Zones: Protecting Children Where They Live,” features Jacquelyn Aluotto, co-founder and president of No Trafficking Zone, discussing how communities can identify high-risk areas and coordinate with law enforcement, local officials, venues, schools, and survivor advocates.
As previously reported by The Dallas Express, Logan’s prior Going Rogue episode examined how traffickers exploit neurodivergent children and young adults online.
In the new episode, Logan and Aluotto discuss trafficking risks connected to stadiums, schools, foster care facilities, online platforms, drug networks, and large public events.

Targeting Children Where They Live
Aluotto said No Trafficking Zones began by focusing on places where demand can rise and traffickers may try to move victims into crowded areas.
She described efforts involving stadiums, schools, foster care facilities, and broader statewide reforms.
Aluotto said Texas Gov. Greg Abbott signed Senate Bill 1212 into law in 2025, making all human trafficking offenses first-degree felonies in Texas.
She also said stronger laws matter, but prosecutors and local officials must enforce them.
The episode also highlights survivor-led signage, with Aluotto explaining that victims often do not identify themselves as trafficking victims. She said messages written by survivors can connect with victims more directly than standard public-awareness language.
Online Predators And Platform Accountability
The episode turns heavily to online exploitation, sextortion, and the role of technology in exposing children to predators.
As previously reported by The Dallas Express, FBI Dallas recently warned parents, guardians, and teachers about violent “764” networks targeting children through gaming apps and social media.
The warning came the same month federal officials announced that a two-month FBI-led Texas operation rescued 89 children and led to 276 child exploitation arrests, as previously reported by The Dallas Express.
The platform-accountability issue has also reached Texas courts. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton sued Discord Inc. this month, alleging the messaging platform misled parents about user safety while allowing predators to exploit children through its services, as previously reported by DX.
Aluotto urged parents to take phone and internet access seriously, saying children can face risks even while they appear safe at home.
The episode also covers the relationship between drug trafficking and human trafficking, trauma bonding, forced criminality, trafficking courts, and the need for better survivor services.
Logan closed the episode by urging viewers to share the interview and support those working directly against trafficking.
