The impact of human trafficking on children and schools
The US Department of Education released an article discussing the impact that human trafficking has on schools. Schools are affected because trafficking involves school-aged children, some as young as 12 years old. The article discussed how to identify a victim of human trafficking. The victim may have unexcused absences from school, makes frequent references of traveling to other cities, lacks control over schedule, and is inappropriately dressed. Other warning signs include having a “boyfriend” who is notably older, sudden change in attire, behavior, or material items, and making sexual references that are not age appropriate. The article also discusses how school staff can make a report, the US response to helping victims, and references for further information. Follow the link to view the full article.
