<description>&lt;p&gt;In this episode, we consider the role of parents in the Epstein exploitation ring. We know that children as young as 4 or 5 have been identified as victims but yet we are not hearing about family-controlled sex trafficking. How could a child that young....or even 9 or 10....possibly be victimized in these extreme ways and a parent not be involved or at least criminally neglectful? &lt;/p&gt;
