January is National Human Slavery & Trafficking Prevention Month, a period dedicated to raising awareness and addressing the ongoing realities of human trafficking in our area.
Karen Siler, the Human Trafficking Manager with the Cedar Valley Friends of the Family gives us things to look out for that should raise some red flags:
Siler says if you see any of these signs to report it to authorities immediately, but do not try to intervene yourself. For more information or to seek help please visit www.fofia.org or call the toll-free crisis hotline at 1-800-410-7233.
