We are working with integrated resources from the law enforcement and government areas to help rescue and rehabilitate hundreds of local victims. Nearly all of the children and teens we have rescued are U.S.-born and many were kidnapped or persuaded into sex-trafficking by online predators.” The evening is expected to sell out and the community is encouraged to reserve space early.
