“First, educate the traffick-aged victim on how to stay safe - especially in regards to social media. I don’t think they have nay idea that once they hit that send button just how far that message or picture can go and how it can be used. I think we should help parents understand their responsibility and what they can do to keep their kids safe. In addition to that, I think to educate the schools and school counselors, school nurses, teachers to be aware of the signs of the student who suddenly either begins to withdraw or become hyper-sexualized. Something is going on there. Also, I think society as a whole needs to look at prostitution differently. There is no girl who wants to become a prostitute. It’s just not like that. And, we really didn’t play with hooker Barbies when we were kids and say “that’s what I want to be when I grow up.” No, we wanted to be nurses or stewardesses or something else. Don’t drive by prostitutes and look down at them and call them names and be hateful to them - but love them, pray for them. Everybody can help in some way whether it’s through prayer, financial support, or volunteering. Everyone can help in some way. Selling people for sex is a profitable business right now. I would love for the purchasers to stop buying. I think that’s wrong. If there’s no buying of the product, people will quit trying to sell the product, so it would end the market. I’d like that!”

“country. These children are not seen as credible. No one believes them, and all the funding goes to other countries. Our hope is that children in our country will have the same value as people in other countries. It is much easier to send your money to a third world country instead of getting your hands dirty right here. Again, we have this whole segment of children in our country that we call throwaways. We want to eradicate that term, and we want to make every child in our country have value and human dignity. Traffick911”

“When evaluating aftercare homes to support (beyond the six featured in the IN PLAIN SIGHT documentary), we encourage you to ask these types of questions. Good intentions are not enough. Professionalism and accountability are critical when working with survivors of sex trafficking. Does the program include trauma-informed counseling by a licensed professional? Is the identity of each child/woman kept confidential? Are minors used to fundraise for the organization? Are females and males housed on completely separate properties? Is the facility licensed so there is accountability for policies and procedures? Do those working and volunteering for the facility have to undergo a stringent vetting process? Is the location undisclosed?”
