Peter Singer, Drowning Children, And Pro Bono, John M.A. Dipippa Sep 2016

Peter Singer, Drowning Children, And Pro Bono, John M.A. Dipippa

West Virginia Law Review

Because there is a salient nexus between the inherent violence of trafficking and that of family violence and childhood sexual abuse, this Article explores how the United States might assist victimized children by utilizing governmental systems that are already in existence. Specifically, the therapeutic foster care ("TFC") model is an established model of care that is flexible enough to meet the numerous and complicated issues associated with the reintegration and treatment needs of child sex-trafficking survivors. This Article recommends …
