Info

We commend the members of the CSEC Work Group for their thorough research andthoughtful analysis of what we must do—as citizens of California, as public servants, ascommunity members and as parents—to address this horrific problem. These recommendationsrecognize that intervention and prevention measures must be undertaken simultaneously in orderto both provide children who have been victimized with a caring family and services to heal fromtrauma, and prevent exploitation of others.We hope this report generates further discussions leading to more understanding of thedynamics of this complex problem and new ways that the many partners on the Child WelfareCouncil can take effective action to protect our children from being sold on the streets, and ensurethey have safe, nurturing families, giving them opportunities to thrive.DIANA S.
