Ask The Governor Why Florida Is Failing To Provide Proper Care For Minor Male Victims of Sex Trafficking

Dear Friends of USIAHT,

We need your help to ensure that the Florida Department of Children & Families (DCF) places male victims of sex trafficking under the age of 18 at USIAHT’s Florida Safe Home.

Florida DCF identified 376 male youth victims between 2017-2019, while USIAHT’s Florida safe home provided care for only 19 victims during that period.

This means Florida has failed to deliver safe home trauma/restorative treatment to over 350 young Florida boys identified as victims of sex trafficking in the last three years, and as a result, our home has operated on average at 50% capacity since opening in 2016.

Please call Governor DeSantis at (850) 717-9337 or email GovernorRon.Desantis@eog.myflorida.com and ask why Florida has failed to properly serve hundreds of male child victims of sex trafficking.

Sincerely,

Kevin Malone, Founder & Chairman
U.S. Institute Against Human Trafficking
