An orange arrow with the words, “Human trafficking awareness month 2026. Who exploits children? Most youth in Maine who experience CSEC are harmed by someone they already know: a friend, family member, or adult in their community. Children need connections to safe adults they feel comfortable talking to about their experiences. 24/7, free, confidential helpline 1-800-871-7741.” and the Maine sex trafficking and exploitation network logo.
CSEC usually doesn’t involve strangers or kidnapping. Most youth in Maine who experience CSEC are harmed by someone they already know: a friend, family member, or adult in their community.
It's so important to learn the signs & connect to the kids in our life.
