Legendary college football Tim Tebow continues to speak out on a growing issue impacting the United States of America.
The former Heisman Trophy winner, 38, has been retired from professional sports for several years. Tebow, taken in the first round of the NFL Draft, played in the league for three seasons, before pursuing a professional baseball career. Tebow has since gotten into TV work, serving as a broadcaster for the SEC Network.
Tebow, who grew up in Florida, has a much bigger passion, though. Tebow has been working hard on the growing issue of child trafficking, both in the United States and around the globe.

Over the holidays, Tebow issued a “warning” to the 340-plus Americans currently living in the United States.
Tebow is warning everyone that the child trafficking issue isn’t just an issue overseas – it’s one impacting millions in the United States.
“Did you watch this until the end? Some images you just can’t shake. For us, it’s this map,” he warned.
“Every red dot shows a computer in the U.S. sharing child sexual abuse material (CSAM). There are nearly 340,000 red dots in just six months—each one representing a child in desperate need of protection.
“This isn’t “over there.” It’s in our neighborhoods, sometimes even in our homes. Behind every dot is a child waiting for someone to fight for them.”
Tebow continues to speak out on the issue
Tebow says the issue primarily impacts those in their late childhood to early teens.
“The average age of trafficking for a boy or girl is between the ages of 12 and 14.
One in six is under the age of 12,” he wrote.
“Do you think these children who are being trafficked are dreaming of what they could be one day?”
Our thoughts continue to be with Tebow and everyone impacted.
