Despite their abuse, victims are frequently arrested and prosecuted as juvenile offenders. In this documentary we meet Katrina, whose childhood abruptly ends when she is manipulated and sold for sex by a trafficker. Her compelling story proves that with understanding and support, victims can become survivors. Experts, from juvenile justice, law enforcement, and service providers, explain the trauma these youth endure. They also share examples of approaches that shift our response from punitive to restorative. The first step is to see survivors in terms of their humanity, value and potential, and not their past.
