We hate to separate families. This is
going to be one really big project.=
The second mainstay program FAIR
Girls ofers is a unique prevention
education curriculum for high school
students. They are currently in the
process of updating it to address the
cyber risks that are currently luring
FAIR Girls is going to meet that grave
need for education at that level, as
the average age of traïcking victims
is eleven to fourteen. Clayton ardently
believes that if adults are not talking
to students about human traïcking,
whether it9s because the subject is
controversial or uncomfortable to
discuss with middle schoolers, the
students themselves will ond out
about it through social media or other
websites. Online platforms attract over
500,000 plus predators a day who troll
for unsuspecting kids to groom and
lure into sexual and other exploitative
activities. With younger students, such
conversations need to be done delicately
and in an age-appropriate manner.
Preventative programs will help
parents, educators, and others to
be part of the solution in creating
greater awareness and actionable safety
tools for youth of all ages. In order
to ensure all ethical standards are
followed, FAIR Girls is working with
leading experts on human traïcking
at the University of Maryland. Dr.
Wendy Stickle and Choice Research
Associates will work with both Clayton
and Jackson who want to submit the
onal work to the Institutional Review
Board for evaluation. The hope is to
get the newly revised material certioed
as a national program.
When it comes to why survivors
struggle with breaking from traïcking,
the answers are not so simple.
Most people would
consider that choice an
easy one. Why don’t they
just leave?
