Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback Tim Tebow was known for being one of the toughest players on the field.
He is now tackling the biggest challenge of his life off the field.
And Tim Tebow sounded the alarm on this scary fight the Biden-Harris administration created.
Tim Tebow battles child exploitation and human trafficking
Former University of Florida quarterback Tim Tebow is one of the legends of college football after he won two national titles and a Heisman Trophy.
He is gearing up for the start of another college football season in his role as an analyst on SEC Network’s traveling pre-game show SEC Nation.
But Tebow spoke with Fox News Live about how it is “more important than ever” to combat human trafficking and child exploitation.
“We’ve been in this fight for over 10 years, since my dad was overseas and was able to purchase the freedom of four little girls,” Tebow said. “And I just knew that day that I was called to fight for the most vulnerable. And that’s what we’re trying to do.”
He is working with his Tim Tebow Foundation to help rescue children who are being exploited.
“And we’re fortunate to be able to do that,” Tebow continued. “And just over 90 countries around the world … fight for the MVPs, the world’s most vulnerable people. But specifically, this campaign that we’re talking about today is for those boys and girls that are being exploited and being abused … many times in their own home.”
The disturbing rise in human trafficking
The border crisis created by the Biden-Harris administration has led to a surge in human trafficking.
Children making the dangerous journey to the U.S. southern border through Latin America are often exploited by human traffickers.
The movie Sound of Freedom, which was based on a true story helped shine a light on this dark world.
Tebow warned, “there’s hundreds of thousands of boys and girls that are being abused, that are being hurt, that are being exploited, and we have to do something against it.”
“Your average offender has 13 victims. That means there are so many boys and girls that we have to protect,” Tebow explained. “You know, we’re calling this campaign ‘unknown and unfinished’ because we started it last year as unknown. But we’re unfinished because there are so many boys and girls that we haven’t got to.”
“Yes, we made progress with our partners and nonprofit and law enforcement, but there’s so many more that we have to get to,” Tebow added.
The Tim Tebow Foundation partnered with Homeland Security Investigations on Operation Renewed Hope2 to help rescue exploited children.
The operation found “311 probable identifications of previously unknown victims, including 14 positive contacts and confirmed the rescue of several victims from active abuse.”
Tim Tebow, an evangelical Christian, is using his platform as a former college football legend to make a difference in the world.
Helping to rescue exploited children is the biggest challenge of his life.
