An educator friend posted this, and I borrowed it from his page and re-posted it below my comments.

However, in my time being in schools as a law enforcement officer, Truancy Officer and now as a school security consultant, I see school staff dealing with these very issues daily. Couple that with the disciplinary problems, and parents demanding schools and or the police "fix their kid" or "How dare you discipline my kid". Usually these problems start in the home / product of their environment.

From my perspective, schools do a good job dealing with this incredible responsibility. Are they perfect..No,, none of us are, but our educators sure do the best they can. That is why this post written by Michele resonated with me.

"Schools have quietly become the place where America sends every problem it doesn't know how to solve.

Kids are hungry? Schools feed them.

Parents need childcare before or after work? Schools build programs.

Kids are struggling with mental health? Schools are expected to respond.

Teenagers aren't prepared for the workforce? Schools need more career programs.

Kids don't understand money? Schools should teach financial literacy.

They're spending too much time on their phones? Schools should fix that.

They're not getting enough exercise? Schools.

They're va**ng? Schools.

They're being bullied online at 11:00 at night? Somehow, schools.

They're chronically absent? Schools need an attendance initiative.

And none of those things are unimportant. In fact, schools probably SHOULD play a role in many of them. That's part of being the institution that serves virtually every child in a community.

But there's a strange contradiction in the way we talk about public education.

We continue adding responsibilities to schools because they're one of the few institutions we have that can actually reach almost every kid.

Then we turn around and ask why schools aren't doing a better job at their "main job."

Maybe part of the answer is that we haven't allowed schools to have just one job in a very long time.

Public schools aren't perfect. They can't solve every problem facing children.

But increasingly, they're the place we send those problems when nobody else knows what to do with them.

And then we're surprised when they can't solve all of them".

Parents....A MUST READ!

Do you know s*x trafficking?
- Officer Gomez

I have found that most people don’t understand s*x trafficking outside of the extreme scenes on television where a young woman is kidnapped in another country and sold to wealthy people as slaves.

So let’s discuss a side of s*x trafficking most people don’t know about and happens in lots of towns with kids you might know. This will happen in any town that has internet and Wi-Fi available to kids.

For some who don’t know, my wife and I have taken in very tough case teens into our home for the last 15 years. When you have tough case kids in your home you also have their friends in your home. It is in those friends that my wife and I were educated on an aspect of s*x trafficking that most people will never see. My wife and I learned the names of teen girls who are already part of the s*x trafficking right here in our local area.

Snapchat is full of people waiting to s*x traffic your children. Step number one is to desensitize them to s*x trafficking. High school age drug dealers (15-25) will often give multiple prices to young females seeking drugs.
Ma*****na zip = 1 ounce
Straight Price = $150
Price with nudes (depending on perceived hotness of girl) $110
Price with oral s*x = $80
This is s*x trafficking and it begins with 7th and 8th grade girls that are trading s*x for drugs, cell phones, alcohol, car rides, and much more.

Runaways…..
There are many young female runaways (12-17) that will trade s*x for a place to live. These young girls usually don’t get along with their parents and will start couch surfing at different locations. A lot of times these young girls end up staying a couple of days to a couple of weeks at low level drug dealer houses. There are endless 18-30 year old men who would gladly house a young girl for a short time.

My wife and I have had several young girls stay with us a few nights (friends of foster kids) and tell us the story of how they are surviving without parents. These girls are being s*x trafficked right here in Boise, Idaho and I promise it is happening all over the states.

TikTok….
TikTok might be the grand daddy of grooming young girls to be s*x trafficked. Young girls are being offered money from strangers to send pictures and videos.
Feet Pictures = $15
Bra and Panties pictures = $25
B**b pictures = $50-$75
Full N**e photos = $100
Ma********on video = $200
S*x video with underage boyfriend = $500-$1000 dollars

I know there are quite a few girls here locally who have made substantia money selling pictures on-line.

Here is a phone call I have received approximately 11 times since I have been a school resource officer (15 years). This is only a small percentage as most parents don’t know to contact me.
“ Officer Gomez, please help my daughter! She just got a ride to the airport where she is going to fly to some city and make a po*******hy video for money (usually California or Florida). “ In most cases the only thing I can do is attempt to verbally talk the girls out of starting a life of video po*******hy as the girls are 18 and legal adults.

There are many people who will offer up to $4000 dollars plus expenses for 18 year old girls to make a po*******hy video for sale on-line. They usually pay them their first job in cash and then a mix of drugs and or services are offered after that. The girls will make a couple of movies before they get into worse things to do for money. This is s*x trafficking and it happens quite a bit.

OnlyFans social media application is helping groom young boys and girls to be in the po*******hy industry long before they turn 18.

Prostitution...
Social media applications make it easier than ever for girls to offer s*x for money. I have used my fake accounts to find some of the younger kids who are selling themselves for s*x starting in high school. This is not limited to low income families as the social media grooming process knows no income or racial boundaries when it comes to s*xualizing kids.

Now what?

There are many ways that s*x trafficking is being promoted in most towns in every place Wi-Fi is available. This has an effect on countless families that have no idea their children are being groomed for s*x trafficking right under their noses. The kids who get sucked into this will have countless long term issues in their lives and their kids lives.

How do we fix this?

The main solution to this problem is education. Right now the education on social media issues is very small. Parents and students need to be educated on many topics that will help reduce the s*x trafficking we have happening in our own cities and neighborhoods.

I could probably educate for hours on each paragraph above. For now I will leave you all with this overview on s*x trafficking to help you all understand the situation.

Happy Parenting,
Officer Gomez
