On this May edition of Bulldog and Friends, Todd welcomes back longtime BAF guest Alan Smyth, from Saving Innocence, for a powerful and important conversation about human trafficking, major sporting events, and the fight to protect vulnerable children.
With Los Angeles preparing to host global events like the World Cup, Super Bowl, and Olympics, Alan explains why large gatherings can create dangerous environments for trafficking, what misconceptions people often have, and how organizations like Saving Innocence are working with law enforcement, federal agencies, hotels, transportation workers, and the public to get ahead of the problem.
This episode also highlights practical awareness: what trafficking can look like, what people should and should not do if they suspect it, and how sports leagues, athletes, coaches, and communities can be part of the solution. Alan shares both the urgency of the issue and the hope he sees through growing awareness, stronger partnerships, and the ongoing work of Saving Innocence.
