Using two cell Phones
As part of being groomed, youth sometimes receive a separate cell phone to use just with the person manipulating them. This fosters a secret and intimate connection between them. It’s also a way to hide from law enforcement and the victim's family and friends.
““In my classes this year, a couple girls had two cell phones. I wondered why. I found out later that they were being trafficked while they lived at home. I wish that I had asked more questions.””
