What happened
Only hours after their rescue, traffickers reclaimed most of these victims by posing as boyfriends and family members at the government’s shelter, according to local observers. More information: http://www.state.gov/g/tip/rls/tiprpt/2008/105379.htm
Response and intervention
Local authorities rescued the children and placed them in a shelter, but traffickers were soon able to reclaim them by posing as boyfriends and family members. A shelter received the children, but they were duped by the traffickers, who soon regained control of the victims.
