Suffolk County has initiated 'Operation Safe & Last Return,' a program designed to improve collaboration among law enforcement and other agencies when a child goes missing. Faith Lovell emphasized the need for immediate information sharing post-report. Dr. John Imhof pointed out that County Executive Ed Romaine has mandated unity among agencies. This initiative follows the high-profile case of 14-year-old Emmarae Gervasi, who was reportedly kidnapped and may have been sex trafficked. Officials declared Suffolk County among the top 20% in the nation for human trafficking, highlighting the urgency of this problem.
We have an obligation to build an infrastructure to support the child and the families impacted by this devastating occurrence.
Just like drug trafficking, human trafficking is a business. And people are out there doing this every day, exploiting children.
