Adult Section of Backpage.com Shut Down

Polaris invites us to take a quiz that indicates how much we know about human trafficking. The results are posted after you complete the quiz.  Polaris also shares the good news that yesterday, January 9, 2016, Backpage.com shut down its adult section.  MANY persons have suffered being “commodities” with their bodies up for sale through advertisements on Backpage.com.  Rejoice with this good news! Though it may make it more difficult for the FBI to conduct stings, but law enforcement will find other ways to catch perpetrators of this horrendous crime.
