During Anchor Time students attended a presentation on child trafficking



The Alpharetta chapter of PATH (People Against Trafficking of Humans) club recently hosted a presentation by Amber McKeen, an expert educator and child safety advocate from Children's Healthcare Of Atlanta. In the presentation, she explained the characteristics that potential victims tend to have, why they don't just run away, how pimps mentally manipulate them, and what the State of Georgia is doing now to stop sec trafficking. Just under 50 students attended the event (even though a Falcons football player was speaking in the auditorium at that same time), and the size of the audience allowed for an open discussion forum with lots of student participation.
