An important message
from Ahava Kids Founder
and President,
Raymond Bechard.
 
 

Do you suspect someone of being a victim of trafficking?
Ask them these questions.

If you have information about the commercial sexual exploitation of a child in the U.S. or abroad, notify U.S. Customs and Immigration Enforcement at 1-866-DHS-2ICE or contact your local FBI field office, or report at www.cybertipline.org.

You can help victims by being aware of the problem. Whether in the United States or traveling abroad, if you suspect you may have come in contact with a victim of trafficking, try to ask any of the following questions:

  • Why did you come here?
  • Who arranged your travel?
  • How did you get here?
  • Do you owe money for your trip?
  • What did you expect when you came?
  • What did you end up doing?
  • Were you scared?
  • Do you have any papers?
  • Who has them?
  • Are you in school?
  • Are you working?
  • What kind of work do you do?
  • Are you paid?
  • Do you owe money to your boss or someone else?
  • Can you leave your job if you want?
  • Where do you live?
  • Who else lives there?
  • Where do you sleep?
  • Are you scared to leave?
  • Has anybody threatened you to keep you from running away?
  • Has anybody ever hurt you to make you stay?
  • Has your family been threatened?

Important: If you suspect the child is a victim, contact reliable authorities. While traveling oversees, it is absolutely necessary to use caution in contacting law enforcement because, in many countries, corruption plays a central role in the ability of traffickers to operate. Consequently, reporting cases to the authorities in many countries should be done only after discussions with nongovernmental organizations knowledgeable on the trafficking situation in the country.

Build your own local organization and help Ahava Kids fight child trafficking.
