“Child sex-trafficking is a horrific crime that robs the innocence of its victims and causes significant physical, mental and emotional trauma. In the United States each year, approximately 300,000 children – at the average age of 12 – are prostituted against their will, forced to provide sexual acts for an average of 15 men a night.”

​

“Victims have the best chance of recovery when provided long-term, individualized and interdisciplinary care in a secure environment. Sadly, there are less than five facilities nationwide that provide this type of care, able to serve a total of only approximately 100 victims at any given time.

​

At Bridging Freedom’s therapeutic safe home campus in the Tampa Bay area – the first of its kind in Florida – rescued children and teens receive long-term holistic care to help them heal.” - Bridging Freedom Website - www.bridgingfreedom.org
