"If in my early years teachers [had] reported the abuse and neglect I was receiving from my parents, I would have possibly been less susceptible to my trafficker later on in my teens. The [childhood abuse] left me vulnerable. It groomed me for the experience. I was so numb from my previous abusive experiences that the trafficking experiences didn’t seem so painful." - Trafficking Survivor

Child abuse and human trafficking are inextricably linked. Learning the signs of abuse, respecting children`s boundaries, teaching body safety and being a trusted adult help prevent both! If you suspect that a child is being abused call Utah`s Child Abuse Hotline at 1(855) 323-3237. If you suspect human trafficking contact the Human Trafficking Hotline at 1(888) 373-7788.
