Link above describes how trafficking victims in Texas can end up in jail. Recently I've seen multiple posts on the sub that have stories related to recent busts of child trafficking rings etc. I can't help but wonder what will happen to the victims who are rescued as many independent investigators have expressed concerns regarding the governments channels for handling children who have no where else to turn. Does anyone have suggestions on how we as citizens can try to ensure that these young people will find safety and not be preyed on once again?

Demand reparations. There will be hundreds if not thousands of victims. Victims and if they died then their families will demand more than prison time for the perps.
Just look at how many women have sued Jeffrey Epstein and that was just for rape.

My concern is what if the victims have no family members or worse what if the family is/are the perpetrators of the crime? It's just very concerning to think that some of those who are rescued will just go back into the system. We as citizens definitely need to demand harsher punishment for those convicted of child abuse and trafficking.
