SAN ANTONIO – A back-to-school event provided pre-registered children with backpacks and school supplies while educating families about the dangers children can face online.
The event included a presentation led by Homeland Security Investigations. Agents and a human trafficking survivor discussed risks associated with cellphones, apps and people children meet online, with a focus on preventing children from becoming targets of predators.
The event was organized after the organizer’s friend’s daughter met a man through an app, disappeared and was later found in Dallas.
