Human Trafficking of Children
The federal Department of Homeland Security and Department of Education report trafficking victims can be adults and youth of all genders, U.S. citizens, or foreign nationals. Human trafficking can involve school-age youths, particularly those made vulnerable by unstable family situations, or who have little or no social support. The children at risk are not just high school students – studies show that the average age a child is trafficked into the commercial sex trade is between 11 and 14 years old.
The San Diego County Office of Education (SDCOE) supports school district offices, parents, and community-based agencies in issues related to human trafficking of children by providing training, staff development, technical assistance, and consultation.
