HUMAN TRAFFICKING

Human Trafficking is the exploitation by force, fraud or coercion of vulnerable people for forced labor, domestic servitude or commercial sex operations.

Clues that may help you identify a possible trafficing victim:

1) Accompanied by a controlling person or boss: not speaking on own behalf

2) Lack of control over personal schedule, money, I.D., travel documents

3) Transported to and from work; lives and works in the same place

4) Debt owed to employer/crew leader; inability to leave job

5) Bruises, depression, fear, overly submissive

I researched the subject of human trafficking for my book HARD TO HANDLE, Book 8 of the Incognito Series. I was stunned and horrified that these kinds of things can happen--and happen even in America. I'm still haunted by this subject.
