Girl sees hotline number – calls – and is rescued
It’s always great to hear about successes with putting pimps in jail, and in Florida recently, that’s just what happened.
This victim saw the U.S. National Human Trafficking hotline number (888-373-7888) and placed the call from her hotel room, where her “boyfriend” had left her.
That just goes to show the value of getting billboards, posters on bulletin boards, and even stickers in restrooms that show the number to call or text.
Call 1-888-373-7888
Text “BeFree” to 233733
TTY: 711
If you are able, you can make a donation to the effort of the Polaris Project – home to the hotline. Right now, they’ve got a 4x matching gift incentive to quadruple your donation.
