Subject:RE: sex trafficking and child welfare
I have attempted to identify sources of information, without a lot of success, to get a more precise estimate of the number of commercial sexual trafficking victims, for our state. The FBI Uniform Crime Statistics are supposed to include data on Human Trafficking, but as yet have not shown any data. NCMEC can provide data on the # of intakes that are identified as high risk for sexual trafficking. However, there data is dependent upon who contacts them for assistance. Missing foster care juveniles are not routinely reported to NCMEC by all public child welfare agencies. In Louisiana we do report all such cases, and we are getting information from their intakes about identified and prospective victims. Polaris Project/National Human Trafficking Resource Center has data by state, but it is based on the calls made to them. Shared Hope International has some data but it is also limited to field reports from NGOs. NCANDS AFCARS collects data from all state child welfare agencies, but data specific to juvenile sexual trafficking is not currently captured. Proposed Federal legislation HR 4058, if it becomes law, will require all public child welfare agencies to capture and report to ACF, data on juvenile sexual trafficking ( within child welfare cases). However, even if this bill passes soon, we are still a year or more away from being able to see such data on a national basis. For now, data would be available in a few states such as Florida, Connecticut, possibly New York and Georgia, along with a few others. However to obtain data you will have to contact each state child welfare office directly. In Louisiana, we are beginning to more systematically collect data for all victims of sexual and labor trafficking, from all sources, to include child welfare. However, the first report will not be available until mid 2015. Walter G.
