Two state agencies are working to identify kids vulnerable to sex trafficking before they’re victimized. The Florida Department of Children and Families and the Florida Department of Law Enforcement have announced an enhanced screening tool and new grant funding for law enforcement.
Florida’s Department of Children and Families is involved in the larger state fight against human trafficking. The agency rolled out $900,000 in grant money for law enforcement recently, and DCF Secretary Shevaun Harris says that’s only part of the agency’s commitment.
If you suspect someone is a victim of trafficking, trust your instincts. Contact the Florida Trafficking Hotline number: 1-855-FLA-SAFE (1-855-352-7233) for assistance or to report suspicious activity.
