National Human Trafficking Resource Center hotline at 1-888-373-7888.
A form of modern day slavery, sex trafficking forces children and adults to engage in commercial sex acts against their will. Most victims are recruited when they are just 12 to 14 years old, coerced through drugs, violence, debt bondage and intimidation.
The signs are subtle – a young girl or boy who looks helpless, nervous, fearful or disoriented. Makeup or clothing inappropriate for the age. A companion who doesn’t seem like the right fit. A young person not allowed to speak for themselves.
