I'm also very interested in the prevention aspect. There are two agencies in the city where I come from. One is called Street Connection, which is a drop-in and counselling service for families in crisis. It focuses in on youth, encourages them to go back to school, connects them to job training, provides showers, and so on. There's also Youth Opportunities Unlimited, which is also for street youth, with services and counselling.
Do agencies like this actually prevent kids from getting into awful, horrendous situations with traffickers? Would they be part of that defence against kids getting into trouble, getting seduced by traffickers?
