NFL Players Assn & AFT raise awareness of human trafficking of kids during Super Bowl week

sex traffickingWASHINGTONStatement by leaders of the American Federation of Teachers and the National Football League Players Association on sex trafficking of at-risk youth during the Super Bowl.“The despicable reality is that people prey on at-risk youth every day of the year, but there is additional concern about the problem at huge, crowded events like the Super Bowl. Human sex trafficking is a not-so-hidden crime that exploits the most vulnerable. The AFT and the NFLPA call on New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, and law enforcement and social service agencies in the New Jersey-New York area and throughout the I-95 corridor, to be especially vigilant so that everyone attending the Super Bowl is safe and well-protected. Raising community awareness of this devastating crime throughout the year is a joint responsibility of public officials, schools, community organizations and law enforcement,” said Randi Weingarten, AFT president, and DeMaurice Smith, NFLPA executive director.
