Story of Three
There was one teenager under the age of eighteen who was found that obtained all of the help and benefits that the law promised.
Another was over eighteen and had children with her "husband." She and her children got a limited number of resources, and the law did not benefit her as much as the first girl.
The third victim was a child of four. He denied being a victims of human trafficking, and went through awful treatment. He was seen as an illegal immigrant, and was denied all benefits he should have been given, and was put in programs to be deported. This should not have happened because law enforcement should be better trained to recognize the signs of the victim. After all, this child was in the same place as other child victims, and did not know better because he was taken from his parents as an infant.
