Using the Andersen family case study, identify warning signs, or indicators, of family situations or conditions that might have helped the child welfare professional to determine if the child was not safe in the Andersen family. Discuss in your small groups, and then debrief as a class. Activity Notes: Slide 11.1.14 Key Points: According to the Maltreatment Allegation Index, trafficking of a child “Human is the recruitment, harboring, transportation, provision or obtaining of a child for labor or services through the use of force, fraud, or coercion. Sex trafficking is a commercial sex act which includes prostitution, pornography, and exotic dancing.” A report for this maltreatment may be accepted even if the alleged perpetrator is not a caregiver. You will usually discover this maltreatment through the investigation of another maltreatment. Florida is an especially big target for human traffickers who bring in people from other countries because of the unique characteristics of a multi-cultural tourist and travel state. Although traffickers also abduct US citizens, they have greater control when they import people from other countries who are not literate in English. Slide 11.1.15 Notes: Key Points: In district in Florida, there are Child Protection Teams (CPT) of professionals to help child welfare professionals in their work with families. The Child Protection Team program is a medically directed, multidisciplinary program that works with local Sheriff's offices and DCF in cases of child abuse and neglect to supplement investigation activities. CPTs provide expertise in evaluating alleged abuse and neglect, assessing risk and protective factors, and providing recommendations for interventions to protect children and enhance a caregiver's capacity to provide a safer environment when possible. If child abuse or neglect is reported to the Florida Abuse Hotline and accepted for investigation, the case is automatically eligible for CPT assessment. And many types of abuse or neglect must be referred for CPT assessment.
