23/09/11 - Human Trafficking Conference; Day 2

We attended the conference again to hear a resume of the previous day. They had many really good ideas and if everything can be implemented then Jamaica will do much to improve its current record on Human Trafficking (which with no convictions to date is pretty poor).
During the conference one of the police officers had read a newsletter from Hear the Children's Cry an attacked us because we had said that 20% of missing children might have been trafficked. He thought that we were saying that the missing children were being trafficked and that we had evidence for this that we weren't sharing with the police. Seeing as all our information came from the police in the fist place he didn't really have much of an argument!
