00:00.907 --> 00:03.907
(light piano music)

00:06.700 --> 00:08.790
- I see this kid every day.

00:08.790 --> 00:11.690
Doesn't do his homework,
can't stay awake in class.

00:11.690 --> 00:13.590
- Last year, she was very shy,

00:13.590 --> 00:15.670
wouldn't talk to other people.

00:15.670 --> 00:18.340
This year, I noticed her
clothes are different.

00:18.340 --> 00:20.840
- I called her in and asked
her if she'd been sick

00:20.840 --> 00:22.190
or where she was.

00:22.190 --> 00:25.740
She had a story, but it
seemed kinda rehearsed.

00:25.740 --> 00:29.330
- He's a good kid, just
doesn't seem to be all there.

00:29.330 --> 00:32.110
- I hear her inviting kids to this party,

00:32.110 --> 00:33.920
and she's always having the party

00:33.920 --> 00:36.370
at the same house pretty regularly.

00:36.370 --> 00:38.840
- Have to wake him up
regularly in the classroom

00:38.840 --> 00:41.410
and I tend to take it out on him.

00:41.410 --> 00:42.910
When I get home,

00:42.910 --> 00:44.780
I tend to reflect back on the situations,

00:44.780 --> 00:46.790
and I'm really concerned
on why he isn't able

00:46.790 --> 00:48.780
to get enough sleep at his home.

00:48.780 --> 00:51.530
(dramatic music)

00:57.270 --> 00:59.960
- Gate security and all
the MPs in the world

00:59.960 --> 01:02.840
can't help you when traffickers
are reaching our kids

01:02.840 --> 01:04.588
through their cell phones.

01:04.588 --> 01:05.820
(dramatic piano music)

01:05.820 --> 01:08.450
They can find our kids
through online games

01:08.450 --> 01:11.180
in their homes, and they can
turn them into recruiters

01:11.180 --> 01:14.070
at school or at school events.

01:14.070 --> 01:16.440
Many educators just have no idea

01:16.440 --> 01:18.680
how very possible it all is.

01:18.680 --> 01:21.200
- That notion that children at schools

01:21.200 --> 01:24.410
on military installations
are in a sort of bubble,

01:24.410 --> 01:25.610
it's a dangerous thing.

01:25.610 --> 01:28.140
Because the truth is, the
traffickers are already

01:28.140 --> 01:30.160
a few steps ahead of us.

01:30.160 --> 01:32.700
- So we wanted to embrace
a training solution

01:32.700 --> 01:35.092
that we could get out to everyone quickly.

01:35.092 --> 01:37.925
(uplifting music)

02:08.018 --> 02:10.420
The course is getting
a really good response.

02:10.420 --> 02:12.720
We're hearing from teachers
who appreciate knowing

02:12.720 --> 02:15.560
what steps to take, and we're working now

02:15.560 --> 02:17.900
on raising awareness of the training

02:17.900 --> 02:20.950
and to bring more educators
to get online and take it.

02:20.950 --> 02:22.540
- The most surprising thing I learned

02:22.540 --> 02:25.260
was that students inside the gates

02:25.260 --> 02:27.340
are actually more susceptible

02:27.340 --> 02:29.120
than students outside the gates.

02:29.120 --> 02:31.940
I feel like I know what to look for now.

02:31.940 --> 02:33.730
This stuff can hide in plain sight.

02:33.730 --> 02:36.490
- The course showed me that DoDEA students

02:36.490 --> 02:40.180
are actually susceptible
to being trafficked,

02:40.180 --> 02:44.410
especially our students
who are overseas, OCONUS.

02:44.410 --> 02:45.980
They move around a lot.

02:45.980 --> 02:49.010
They're a stranger in a new land.

02:49.010 --> 02:53.520
- I learned that just
my suspicion in itself

02:54.490 --> 02:56.130
is enough to be able to take action on

02:56.130 --> 02:58.190
and I need to reach
out to law enforcement.

02:58.190 --> 03:01.750
- I recognize that I am
the last line of defense,

03:01.750 --> 03:03.850
maybe the only line of defense.

03:03.850 --> 03:05.823
It's a tremendous responsibility.

03:07.280 --> 03:10.280
