Missing Children

As the number of missing children in Jamaica continue increase at an alarming rate parents need to become more vigilant and keep closer tabs on their children’s whereabouts, especially girls who account for the highest number of missing children.  Parents should begin to educate their children about the dangers of human trafficking and the sex trade to which they might become victims. Educate them in ways they can take precautions to ensure their own safety.  For example they should be careful when dealing with strangers and do not allow themselves to be lured into unfamiliar surroundings.  Never accept rides from strangers whether it be male or female. Always let someone know where they are going when going out and if they are going to be late coming home call and let someone know.  With the growing trends one can’t be too careful and it is better to be safe than sorry.
