"As  a trained investigator, I wasn’t sure what to expect and how beneficial  this training would be. I recommend this course to anyone who truly  wants to make a positive impact on the plague of child exploitation. The  quality of instruction far exceeded anything I experienced in all of my  training.”

PRIVATE INVESTIGATOR, B.H.

“Exceedingly  beyond my expectations, day 1 shifted my paradigm beyond awareness.  This was my first exposure to anything like this other than awareness  and some previous info from Vets 4 Child Rescue. I will leave here  different than I arrived and more equipped. I will pray for you all. I  am in NC and will do anything I can to help. Thank you.”

B. P., NORTH CAROLINA

“Tina  Paulson and Bazzel Baz are the true heroes. They are inspirational  teachers with real life experiences presented in a humble, yet soul  shattering training. We all experienced a transformation down to the  marrow. Those who know cannot sleep. Those who take this course are  changed forever.”

HOW TO KEEP CHILDREN SAFE ONLINE

FROM THE SAN DIEGO DISTRICT ATTORNEY'S OFFICE:

During  this pandemic, our children are spending more and more time online, putting them at higher risk for interacting with predators. The San Diego Trafficking Prevention Collective is providing online training to teachers in order to continue their mission of bringing human trafficking education, prevention and awareness training  into every public school in San Diego County.

Saving Innocence LAUNCHES CSEC ADVOCACY COURSE

The Role of Social Media and Internet Safety

Watch this free preview of our CSEC Advocacy Course, where Amber Davies, LCSW (Senior Director  Of Clinical Programs, Saving Innocence) breaks down the role of social  media in trafficking, and tips to review with youth for their safety.

Imagine waking up every morning to people you love and feel safe with.
 

Then,  suddenly, strangers take you away and place you in a dull, unfamiliar  place to share with other girls and some of them don’t even like you.  You go from feeling  like you have options to feeling like you have rules to follow or else  suffer consequences. 

Imagine  the ways a child may have suffered, but then is referred to as  “ungrateful”, or “angry”, which makes them lose trust with providers,  and potentially return  to their trafficker. 


Justice is not served unless it’s through the eyes of the victim.

A  trafficker is aware of these perspectives and situations surrounding  care facilities and youth not feeling supported. Just like social  workers have a role and  police have a role, so do traffickers. They have strategic planning,  research, undercover partners, and skills that make them the best fit  for their job. 


Traffickers know that kids still see them as a safe haven. 

Now  imagine being a youth who has finally gained the mental strength to see  those “helpful” people who took you from everything you knew did so  because what you  knew was not healthy. You write a victim impact statement to help get  your trafficker locked away just to find out that, according to the law,  he is not even considered a violent offender (though you know full well  he did multiple violent things to you.) What  now?

There  are so many aspects of surviving trafficking that many of us would not  even consider. We are grateful to hear from those with lived experience  to ensure we  are becoming the best possible advocates. This is why we’re passionate  about creating resources to help us better understand the perspectives  of those we’re trying to serve. They’ve already been through so much and  now they need people to champion them, not  students. 


Included in the course:
 

  • 9  Chapters with 46 Videos to help you learn about the unique needs of  commercially sexually exploited children and how to best serve them as  they transition into a life of freedom
  • Panels  from experts in Law Enforcement, Probation, and Child Welfare to help  give a well-rounded view of the problem and solutions from all angles of  those serving these youth
  • Clips  from the award-winning documentary about CSEC, “Sex + Money: A National  Search For Human Worth” with first-hand accounts from survivors,  traffickers and buyers

SPY UPDATE

SPY UPDATE – April 23, 2020

Advocacy Opportunity: Helping the Homeless during COVID-19

At  SPY, we’re so thrilled to be part of such a resilient and connected  community. Our hearts are filled with gratitude for the outpouring of  support we’ve received  during these unpredictable times.
 

We’re thankful for our dedicated team members who are still working  every day to provide life-saving support and essential services at SPY’s  Access Center and across all of our residential programs.


We’re  thankful for the swift action to prioritize the vulnerability of the  homeless population in Los Angeles, providing handwashing stations and  opening additional  shelters to provide a safe space during this time of uncertainty.


We’re  grateful for the policies that have already been enacted and actions  that are already taking place to continue to protect and support our  homeless neighbors.  And, we’re extremely thankful that we can continue to move SPY’s  mission forward. But we can’t fight this fight alone.

The  street-based and at-risk youth we serve are at an increased risk of  complications if they contract COVID-19. According to a report published  by the  National Alliance to End Homelessness, “Homeless individuals infected by COVID-19 would be twice as likely to be hospitalized, two to four times as likely to require critical care, and two to three times as likely to die than the general population.”


Housing Highlights

At  SPY, we believe housing is an integral part of helping street-based  youth find stability. We’re delighted by the projects, originally goals  in our  strategic plan, that have become realities over the past few months. 
 

A Bridge Home Sunset 

In  February, in partnership with People Assisting The Homeless (PATH), SPY  celebrated the opening of A Bridge Home Sunset in Venice (ABH). As a  result, 54 transition-aged  youth have been moving off of the streets and into their home. ABH will  house residents for three to six months as they work with SPY staff to  secure permanent supportive housing. While at ABH, residents are  provided three nutritious meals a day and receive  dedicated case management, education and employment support, and access  to health and wellness care to help them transition from the streets  and stabilize. 


The Nest

The  Nest, which opened in December 2019, is SPY’s housing program designed  specifically for youth who are pregnant and/or parenting. The program  has the capacity  to host 8 to 10 parenting youth and their families for up to 36 months.  Each resident has a dedicated case manager, together they focus on  goals like finding housing, completing education, and improving life  skills. Residents also receive targeted family services  and parenting classes. We are thrilled to share that as of April 1, we  have reached full capacity at The Nest!


A Furry Reunion   

Marquise  and his dog Cloud 9 have been unhoused in Venice and coming to SPYs  Access Center for  services since 2016. Marquise, a talented guitar player, participates  in SPY's Healing Arts program and has worked closely with his Case  Manager to plan his short and long term goals for stability. Through  SPY's partnership with Project Minnie, Marquise is  also able to provide excellent care for Cloud 9.
 

On the streets of Abbot Kinney, Marquise met Rick, a community member  who immediately bonded with Marquise. Unfortunately in October 2019,  LAPD removed Cloud 9 from Marquise's custody, leaving the two separated  and Cloud 9 in an animal shelter.
 

In an effort to support Marquise reuniting with Cloud 9, Rick became  Marquise's mentor through SPY's Mentorship Program, which matches  volunteers to mentor youth on an individual basis. With Marquise's  dedication, Rick's determination, and SPY's driven case  management team providing advocacy in the courtroom and in the  community, Marquise and Cloud 9 have finally been reunited! The two are  now residing at SPY's bridge housing program, A Bridge Home Sunset,  where we love seeing them together every day.
