The Stealing of Emily – Traffic Lights and Trafficked Lives The Stealing of Emily – Traffic Lights and Trafficked Lives exposes how the systems built to “protect” children can become silent partners in their disappearance. Drawing on case files, FOI responses, official statistics and first-hand testimony, the book follows the trail from family courts and “traffic light” risk assessments to missing records, lost Child Trust Funds and children who simply vanish on paper. Through the lens of one family’s search for a disappeared child, it uncovers how digital platforms, outsourced care providers and closed procedures can create ideal conditions for exploitation and trafficking, while allowing agencies to deny responsibility. This volume in The Stealing of Emily series asks a stark question: when the lights are red, amber and green on official dashboards, what happens to the children who fall between them – and who is accountable when trafficked lives are erased by design, not by accident?
