What are some signs to look for?

Victims may refer to their trafficker as “Daddy,” have an inconsistent story, lie about their age, not speak freely, not make eye contact, keep late or unusual hours, seem disoriented, have an older boyfriend, or have little or no luggage or money when traveling. They may suddenly possess expensive items, such as designer clothes, purses, or shoes. Other clues would be unusual exhaustion, carrying multiple cell phones, having a new tattoo or “brand,” growing isolated from friends and family, or being truant from school or a chronic runaway.
