👋 Hi, we’re DeliverFund!
We’re here to cut through the noise with facts about human trafficking—no conspiracy theories, just reliable, actionable info. Our mission: end trafficking by targeting traffickers with advanced tech and innovative solutions. Follow us to learn how to fight back!
💪 100% of law enforcement participants said DeliverFund’s training was valuable.

This impact was made possible thanks to the Texas Bar Association, who funded our latest in-person course.

Together, we’re equipping officers to identify, investigate & stop human traffickers.
This isn’t just about technology. It’s about safety.
Tech companies must put protection before profit. Until then, DeliverFund will keep fighting for children.
Experts warn VR can expose children to predators in real time.
Whistleblowers allege Meta’s legal team downplayed or deleted findings instead of protecting kids.
These dangers aren’t hypothetical.
A man who contacted a 9-year-old through VR is serving 35 years.
Another lured a 13-year-old away from home and was sentenced to 10 years.
Internal posts show staff had long warned very young kids were active in VR.
One researcher saw children as young as 6 or 7 talking with much older men.
The warning: “This is the kind of thing that eventually makes headlines — in a really bad way.”
In one case, a German mother insisted her kids were safe on VR headsets.
Her teenage son revealed strangers had approached his younger brother — under 10 years old.
Researchers say Meta ordered this evidence deleted.
Whistleblowers say Meta suppressed research on child safety in VR.
The Washington Post reports company lawyers shaped or deleted findings that revealed risks to children. 🧵⬇️

If we only look for monsters, we miss the real ones.

Abusers hide in plain sight.
They count on charm, silence, and disbelief.

Kids pay the price when we ignore the signs. www.fox5atlanta.com/news/ex-cart...

This isn’t rare.
Many abusers live double lives.
They’re not always strangers in dark alleys.
They’re partners, parents, coaches, influencers.

And yes—women do enable abuse.

His wife, Brittani, says she knew about the charges:

“There were no secrets. We are still happy. He and I have no issues.”

She’s now correcting “misinformation” online and defending their image.

Josh Stapleton lived a picture-perfect life online with his wife—boating, workouts, family content.
They had over 80k followers as the “Gulf Coast Stapletons.”

Behind the scenes, he was downloading child abuse material for years.

A social media influencer just pled guilty to 20 counts of child sexual exploitation.

His wife knew.
She says she’s “still happy.”
And the internet didn’t see it coming.

Let’s talk about who abusers really are. 👇
8/Though Combs avoided the most severe charges, the guilty verdict still marks a significant legal blow. All eyes now turn to the sentencing phase.
7/The jury—eight men and four women—deliberated for two days following eight hours of intense closing arguments from both sides.
6/The defense argued that all sexual activity was consensual—and that Combs’ business operations were legitimate. They called the government’s portrayal exaggerated and unsupported by evidence.
5/Prosecutors painted Combs as a “powerful” and abusive figure who believed he was above the law.
“He thought that his fame, wealth, and power put him above the law,” said Asst. U.S. Attorney Christy Slavik in closing arguments.
4/ Instead, Combs now faces a maximum of 20 years in prison based on the two prostitution-related convictions. Sentencing will follow in the coming weeks.
3/ While prosecutors aimed to prove Combs ran a criminal enterprise, the jury rejected that claim. The most serious charges—sex trafficking and racketeering—could have carried a life sentence.
2/ The jury returned a mixed verdict today:
— ❌ Not guilty on racketeering conspiracy
— ❌ Not guilty on sex trafficking
— ✅ Guilty on two counts of transporting individuals to engage in prostitution
1/ 🚨 Breaking: Sean “Diddy” Combs was found not guilty of sex trafficking and racketeering in a Manhattan federal trial. He was convicted on two counts related to prostitution. Here’s what happened 🧵

Human trafficking hides in plain sight.
If we want to end it, we need to keep showing up—just like this Florida task force did.
Relentless. Compassionate. Uncompromising.

Her story is a powerful reminder:
🛑 Human trafficking doesn’t have a “type.”
It can happen to anyone—regardless of background, education, or zip code.

One survivor, Olivia Littleton, was trafficked for 3 years—while she was a student-athlete at Georgetown University. She met her trafficker on a dating app.
