Sexual exploitation of children occurs in all types of communities and is particularly prevalent with foster children who run away from their caregivers.  1 in 3 teens will be recruited by a sexual trafficker within 48 to 72 hours of running away from home, so be on the alert for any signs that a child is subject to sexual exploitation.
 
To make a report of suspected commercial sexual exploitation, please call (805) 781-KIDS or complete a Suspected Child Abuse Report (SCAR) and fax it to (805) 781-1803.
