INSIGHTS 21 PODCAST S2E660 Mel K & Jaco Booyens Incomprehensible Evil: The Truth About Child Trafficking in America

8/9/2025

In this urgent episode of The Mel K Show, I sit down with my friend and fearless advocate Jaco Booyens, a man who has spent decades fighting to expose one of the darkest crimes in our nation. We are talking about child trafficking in the United States. This is not a theory. It is not far away. It is here, and it is real.
Jaco’s journey began when his younger sister Ilonka was trafficked at the age of 12. She was rescued after six years of abuse, and today she is a mother, a policy advisor, and a living example that restoration is possible. This personal story launched Jaco’s lifelong mission to fight back. His organization works in prevention, rescue, restoration, and legislation. And what he shares in this episode is something every American needs to hear.
Too many people still believe trafficking is limited to dangerous strangers or faraway places. The truth is traffickers thrive within broken systems. Our foster care system is one of the largest feeders of trafficking in this country. Jaco and his team have built safe houses for survivors and helped remove children directly from abusive state placements. He also works with law enforcement and lawmakers to fix the gaps that allow this evil to flourish.
We also talk about what is happening at the border and how thousands of unaccompanied minors are being absorbed into a system with no accountability. The danger these children face is staggering. The lack of oversight is unacceptable. And the silence from the media and elected officials is inexcusable.
But there is hope. There are people on the front lines doing the work, saving lives, and holding the line. Jaco lays out exactly how you can be part of the solution. Whether through raising awareness, supporting real organizations, or demanding accountability from leadership, every citizen has a role to play.
Here is what you will learn in this episode:
What child trafficking really looks like in the United States

How the foster care system has been exploited by predators

Why our open border is fueling a crisis few are willing to name

What real recovery looks like for survivors

How you can help stop the cycle and protect vulnerable children

This conversation is not easy. But it is necessary. We are in a moment where silence equals complicity. The innocent are depending on us to speak, to act, and to fight for truth and justice. The enemy is organized. We must be too. This is not political. This is moral. This is personal.
The time to act is now.
