The Campus Ministers meet with members of the Elizabeth Police Police Force
to discuss and present the
United Nations Law Enforcement Human Trafficking
Toolkit.
The United Nations Law Enforcement Human Trafficking
Toolkit contained training information for front line defenders
to identify potential human trafficking situations, stabilize and control the
situation, help prepare the victim, and resources to refer victims to
specialized service providers.
Sergent Mike Jones,
Sergent Jim Kearns and Detective Micki Colon shared an important message for all
people, especially immigrants. "Don't be afraid to come to police.
They will help you.." So often, people mistakenly believe that
the police will arrest them for other violations. They are only interested in
protecting the victims of these horrible crimes and persecuting the serious
criminals abusing young people, especially young girls. The laws
currently protect anyone, whether documented or undocumented, who are coerced
into forced labor or sexual exploitation.
Everyone should be outraged about
this inhumane violence against young women and children. We can be silent no
more. We must use our VOICES and tell
everyone. There was a recent article in the news that most
perpetrators are meeting their victims through facebook, twitter and instagram
by asking to be a friend. They then have access to your name, photos, friends
and information. DO NOT ACCEPT ANY PERSON
AS YOUR FRIEND. It is dangerous.... and warn your friends.
