"For most Americans, human trafficking is a horrific practice that nearly always seems to happen overseas and far away. However, a recent report by the Ohio Trafficking in Persons Study Commission says about 1,000 American-born children are forced into the sex trade every year in Ohio alone." To hear more...Periodically, I have read/heard local voices express concern about human trafficking as a real concern for Myrtle Beach, but have not let this direct me to action. I fear there are too many folks like me who are counting on others to do something about this very serious social issue. What is it that we need to do?

I am glad to see that the East coast Coalition is still going strong. Human trafficking is a real problem, and hidden from most eyes. Thanks for keeping this before us. SH
