Sex Trafficking in Schools
Presented by Jenni Thompson from the Polly Klaas Foundation
The sex trafficking of minors has become one of our nation’s top concerns in the last few years. An increase in legislative efforts, community awareness campaigns, the creation of task forces, and providing funding for victim services has been paramount in addressing this issue, yet missing children, who are believed to have run away of their own free will, with no solid evidence of coercion, luring, or forceful removal from their homes, or last known location, ultimately become lost among the close to 450,000 children reported in the NCIC. Along with a discussion about how our students are being lured, what their missing categories are, and how social media is playing a role in all of this, we will also take a closer look at CA’s Education Code that requires schools to be providing human trafficking education in both middle school and high school.
Participants will be able to ask specific questions during the webinar.
