Human Trafficking/Online Safety
-
January is dedicated to raising awareness of human trafficking and the need to protect our children. As a Hallsville community, it is our responsibility to ensure the safety and well-being of our students by engaging in open conversations that empower students and families with knowledge and awareness.
At HISD, we believe that knowledge is power. Before having these open conversations with your loved ones, please take a moment to arm yourselves with what human trafficking is, and what makes a person vulnerable to this type of victimization.
Below is a list of in-person activities that you can attend here at HISD to learn more about human trafficking and online safety that can keep your family safeguarded.
We have also included a list of online resources for you to learn more. Please don’t go on what you see in movies and online! Statistics will show you that our students are in greater danger online from seemingly harmless gaming or social media sites than what you see projected in the media.
As always, HISD has school counselors to support you and your family through these difficult conversations and scenarios. If you need support dealing with any of these issues, please reach out to any school counselor for additional resources.
Let's work together to protect our children and promote a safe and secure environment for all!

What Is Human Trafficking?
Human trafficking is modern day slavery, and it is happening all across Texas to thousands of men, women, and children. In Texas, the Office of the Attorney General reports there are 79,000 victims of youth and minor sex trafficking at any given time. It is important for parents to monitor their child’s personal relationships and online activity.
