THE PROBLEM

1. In the United States, on average, every two minutes,
   a child is bought or sold for sex
   
2. The average age of a child sold for sex in Tennessee
   is 13 years.
3. Human trafficking is the second-fastest growing criminal
   industry, just behind drug trafficking in Tennessee.
   
4. Human trafficking has just about touched every county
   in Tennessee
   
5. The internet intensifies the problem, due to accessibility
   and a false sense of privacy
   
6. In April 2019, a new law signed by Gov Bill Lee of
   Tennessee requires,“all public school teachers, to receive
   one-time training to detect, intervene, prevent and treat
   human trafficking victims in their classrooms”
