Las Vegas task force locates seven missing children in trafficking operation

Seven missing children were successfully located in Las Vegas during the 'Big Search Missing & Exploited Children Task Force Operation' conducted from February 3 to February 7. The operation was led by the F.R.E.E. International Organization in collaboration with multiple local law enforcement agencies, focusing on identifying juveniles who are victims of human trafficking or are otherwise missing or endangered. Alongside the recovery of the children, the task force generated several intelligence leads for ongoing exploitation-related investigations. Resources were provided to support the transition of the recovered children from victims to survivors, emphasizing a victim-centered approach. Similar operations have previously resulted in the recovery of other missing children, demonstrating the effectiveness of collaborative efforts in addressing these serious issues. The initiative also aimed to enhance future operations through insights gained from community partners and law enforcement agencies involved.
