findings:(1)Recent reports on sex trafficking estimate
that hundreds of thousands of children and youth are at risk for domestic sex
trafficking.(2)The risk is
compounded every year for the up to 30,000 young people who are
emancipated from foster care.(3)The current child
welfare system does not effectively identify, prevent, or intervene when a
child or youth presents as trafficked or at risk for trafficking.(4)Within the
current foster care system, many young adults are housed in congregate care
facilities or group homes, which often are targeted by traffickers.(5)Within the
current foster care system, children and youth are routinely denied the
opportunity to participate in normal, age or developmentally appropriate
activities such as joining 4–H and other clubs, participating in school plays,
playing sports, going to camp, and visiting a friend.(6)A lack of
normalcy and barriers to participation in age or developmentally appropriate
activities, which are endemic features of the current child welfare system,
contribute to increased vulnerability for trafficking, homelessness, and other
negative outcomes for children and youth in foster care.(7)The latest
research in adolescent brain development indicates that young people learn
through experience and through trial and error and as part of healthy brain
development young people need to take on increasing levels of decisionmaking
through their teenage years.(8)In order to
combat domestic sex trafficking and to improve outcomes for children and youth
in foster care, systemic changes need to be made to the current child welfare
system that focus on—(A)the reduction of
youth in congregate care facilities and group homes;(B)greater youth
interaction with case planning while in foster care;(C)improved policies
and procedures that encourage age or developmentally appropriate activities for
children in foster care and permit more opportunities for such children to make
meaningful and permanent connects with caring adults; and(D)with regard to
domestic sex trafficking, improved identification, prevention, and intervention
by the child welfare agency in collaboration with the courts, local law
enforcement agencies, and other social service providers.<enum>I</enum><header>Addressing the
