San Antonio Escorts: Human Trafficking: 21st Century Slavery
January 20, 2012SAN ANTONIO, Texas (ABP) — Small details in the lives of the troubled students Tyler Shoesmith works with tell more than they would like him to know.
It’s the words they use, the clothes they wear — even the age of the people they spend time with or whom they connect with on Facebook. There’s a reason behind all of it, said the director of family support services in San Antonio’s North East Independent School District.
Thanks to attending a training session held by Traffick911 — an anti-trafficking effort that grew out of Southside City Church in Fort Worth, Texas, Shoesmith is better equipped to understand the details. Some of the glimpses he sees now point to dark stories of prostitution and human trafficking.
As a result of the knowledge he gained during the training, Shoesmith has been able to identify trafficked children in San Antonio. The tips are small but consistent — a young woman who refers to someone other than her father as “daddy,” dressing provocatively and spending time with older men.
