Grades are dropping

When a girl or boy is being groomed, their attention can easily and suddenly turn away from other things that might have been important to them, like school and grades. They begin to focus on the person grooming them and the life the trafficker is drawing them into.

“I couldn’t believe the change in two of my students. They completely dropped their friends, and their marks went from A’s to failing. I eventually found out that they were in a gang and selling themselves for sex.”
