458-508 – Theresa Flores, is the Director of Awareness and Training at the Grace Haven House in Ohio (gracehavenhouse.org), a long-term faith-based care facility for girls under 18 once trapped in sex trafficking. Theresa writes about her own experience as a 15-year-old sex slave for two years while still living at home in an affluent Detroit suburb back in 1981 in her book The Slave Across the Street. Her website is traffickfree.com. She's also started the SOAP project (Save Our Adolescents from Prostitution), in which the little bars of soap in hotels will ask "Are you being forced to do something against your will?" with the National Human Trafficking Hotline (888) 37-37-888. They distributed 10,000 bars of soap and rescued 60 girls!! Today, Theresa is a single mom with two daughters in college and a young teenage son still at home. She's raising money right now to hire the great writer, and our mutual friend Brian Bird, to turn the novel into the screenplay.

• Human Exploitation is not reserved to distant countries outside the U.S.
• One university study estimated up to 300,000 children in the U.S. are victimized by CSE-Commercial Sexual Exploitation.
• The average age of an underage sex worker is 14 years old, but the FBI states children as young as 9 have been rescued. In the US, the average age of entry into sexual exploitation is 12 years old.
• Pimps are Traffickers
• Johns who buy sex from girls under 18 years of age are Pedophiles
• Teen and Child Prostitutes are victims and should NEVER be arrested (though many times are, while the John and Pimp go free)
• Media should NEVER use the words Teen or Child Prostitutes. It should ALWAYS be referred to as Human Sex Trafficking Victim or Commercial Sexual Exploitation of a Child (CSEC).
• HUMAN TRAFFICKING: (layman's definition) – forcing someone, tricking, coercing, threatening or blackmailing them to perform a commercial sex act (including stripping, porn, etc) or to work while benefiting financially from it. Even offering a teen a happy meal or a bed to sleep in in exchange for having sex is human trafficking.
