Organizations such as Polaris are working to combat human trafficking and help victims through outreach, counseling, advocacy, and other forms of support. Human trafficking hotlines like the National Human Trafficking Hotline or the Polaris Free Online Report form are available to answer questions or receive reports of suspected trafficking or abuse. The US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has an online complaint form that can be completed if you have concerns about a child’s safety or think that they have been mistreated. In addition, state Child Protective Services in many cases are required by law to investigate suspicions of maltreatment.
