Child Sex Trafficking and the Child Welfare System
Abstract
This brief will explore the vulnerabilities that make certain groups of children and youth particularly vulnerable to sex trafficking. We will recommend policies and best practices that can help to provide these victims with the services they need and crack down on traffickers and their customers. Finally, the brief will detail current efforts from Congress and states to end child sex trafficking in the U.S. and support services for sexually exploited children and youth.
