On Thursday, January 20, 2022, the Children’s Commission’s Judicial Workgroup on the Commercial Sexual Exploitation of Children (CSEC) presented a free, 1.5 hour webcast entitled “The Texas Response to the Commercial Sexual Exploitation of Children.” Panelists from the Office of the Texas Governor, the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services, the Texas Alliance of Child and Family Services, Texas CASA, and Texas Juvenile Justice Department provided insight into their efforts to prevent, identify, and support children at risk and survivors of commercial sexual exploitation.
The recorded webcast, accompanying PowerPoint presentation, and handouts are available for replay on the Children’s Commissions On-Demand MCLE webpage. Attorneys and judges seeking MCLE and judges seeking Family Violence training credit hours may contact CCTraining@txcourts.gov after viewing the session recording.
January 31 marks the end of Human Trafficking Prevention Month but the efforts in Texas to combat trafficking and to support survivors continue year-round. Please continue to reference these materials and identify points of contact in communities throughout Texas as attorneys, judges, and stakeholders continue to work together to prevent and address commercial sexual exploitation.
