Quote From: thinkforchangeDear Folks,
I went to all the sites, signed up for newsletters, read about opportunities. Unfortunately I didn't see anything I could do IN MY COMMUNITY NOW to help. I live near A large city and know there is human trafficking going on here. I want to help HERE, NOW!
It's good that you want to do something to help...unfortunate that there's nothing in your community...but, like Dr. Phil said, be on the lookout whenever you are in a public place; watch what's going on around you. If you see what seems to be a young woman who is cowering around the man she's with, or who seems to be too young to be his girlfriend (and is obviously not acting like a loving daughter) that should be a red flag.
Be aware of missing children posters and keep an eye out for them...you never know!
Know who your neighbors are. If you see unusual activity going on at a house, take down license numbers of cars. I'd rather err on the side of caution; you may save a child's life by being a bit nosy.
