The ratings are legit. The acting is at best average, with a few that were just awful... that being said, this story, this horrible horrible story happens IN YOUR TOWN AND CITY. It happens worldwide. In 2023 there are more than 22 million child being trafficked across the world, and the US is where the worst of it, where many of these children end up.
The internet makes it much easier for this to happen. Children are lured through online gaming and social media. Teens meet a "boyfriend" online who convinces them to meet, and the teen is taken to another city, province, country or the trafficking happens down the road, and they are told if they don't keep doing it or tell someone, their parents, siblings or someone they love will be hurt or killed.
Educate your children, make sure you stay involved with their online use, make it a regular thing. It's the easiest way to protect your kids.
Also recommend watching The Sound of Freedom.
