Commercial Sexual Exploitation of Children (CSEC) Hotline

Commonly called “child sex trafficking,” Commercial Sexual Exploitation of Children (CSEC) is child abuse in Georgia. CSEC is human trafficking, often involving coercion, deprivation, violence, emotional harm, neglect, and more.

By calling the hotline, professionals, friends, family, or concerned citizens may share information about children or young adults that they believe may be CSEC victims.

Every referral initiates a comprehensive, multi-disciplinary process to assess whether a child has been sexually exploited or trafficked. CSEC survivors will be connected to services to support their recovery.

To report child abuse:

If you have an immediate emergency, call 911 or your local police department; otherwise, call DFCS Child Protective Services to report child abuse and/or neglect.
