Taken No More: Protect Your Children Against Traffickers and Cults

Robin Boyle Laisure​: Taken No More: Protect Your Children Against Traffickers and Cults (Bloomsbury 2025​)

In America, every 2.5 hours, a child is taken by human traffickers; 50% of trafficking victims are children (The Deliver Fund). Additionally, 2.5 million Americans have joined cultic groups in the past two decades (International Cultic Studies Association). Online predators pose a critical threat to today’s children. This new book, Taken No More: Protect Your Children Against Traffickers and Cults, provides tools to fight these critical problems. It serves as a guide for parents, teachers, mental health professionals, lawyers, and law enforcement.

Cults actively recruit on college campuses, online, and in so-called self-improvement and health space, such as yoga and meditation.

Taken No More devotes a full chapter to predators’ tactics in soliciting children online. The frequency in which this is happening is alarming and, often, with devasting consequences.

Robin Boyle Laisure is an author and law professor. Taken No More is a culmination of nearly thirty years of research into the labyrinth of pernicious enterprises and the law. As a guide for family and professionals, the book advises about the dangers of human trafficking and cults. It suggests dialogue when speaking with children, teens, and young adults. It is a must-read for anyone raising, teaching, or counseling children. The advice offered could help save lives.
