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?
