Over 80 Victims Rescued & Almost 500 Arrested During Super Bowl Human Trafficking Op

Even if it was only happening to a few children (which is a wild underestimation) … why would anyone deter anyone from taking it seriously?!

• Remain calm. Do not draw attention to yourself. 
• Observe the situation and look for these signs of child trafficking.

If you’re unsure, and the situation seems safe, engage in small talk and observe the child’s reaction. 

• Are they responsive and coherent?  
• Do they answer questions for themselves or do they seem scripted, forced, or suppressed by an overly controlling adult?  
• Do they seem overly nervous or anxious? 
• Does the adult quickly whisk them away when you address them? Is the child’s body language signaling for help? 
• Does the child seem at risk? 

Move to a safe distance. Ensure you have the details to report. 

• Call 911 or contact your local law enforcement agency.
