Tennessee officials on Nov. 9 announced the rescue of 13 minors whom they believed were at risk of being trafficked. The minors were rescued in and around the Memphis area.
Federal and local officials have rescued 13 previously missing children, whom authorities determined to be at risk of human trafficking, in and around Memphis. The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation , which worked with the U.S. Marshals Service, Homeland Security Investigations, Memphis Police Department and Tennessee Department of Children’s Services on the two-day mission called 'Operation Not for Sale,' said officials were focused on locating children at risk of being trafficked.
Police might identify these kinds of children based on their own records of families with histories of domestic violence or sexual abuse. They might identify children who have unique tattoos or bands, or even new and expensive clothing, according to DeGarmo.
Authorities located 12 juvenile victims ranging from 11 to 17 years old, as well as one 2-month-old infant, during the operation. 'Every day the United States Marshals Service hopes we have the opportunity to utilize our authority in finding missing, endangered, or abducted children in our country. This operation, in which our efforts continue, has already shown great success,' U.S. Marshal for the Western District of Tennessee Tyreece Miller said in a Nov. 9 statement.
