It seems that there are different 'types' of these in different cities, but it appears that there are no 'nationwide' ones, which I think is a good thing.
Some links that I found as well:
Citizens Against Trafficking : http://www.citizensagainsttraffickin...Home_Page.html
Citizens Against Prostitution: http://www.cityoftacoma.org/Page.aspx?cid=12934
Coalition Against Trafficking Women: http://www.catwinternational.org/
While some of these organizations are good, they are almost always against prostitution in any form and cannot identify a difference between trafficking and prostitution.

dot com too
so the more awareness they bring to the victims, the better.
doncha think ?
btw, the children they save get prosecuted for prostitution and they go for tougher sentencing because they want to make sure she doesn't go back to prostitution when she gets out. .. then she's placed back into the family she was running away from.... and most likely getting raped by daddy .... think it would be difficult to turn a 14 year old into a prostitute if she didn't already have some practice with daddy. ... they say most of them are running from abusive homes, most of them are sexually abused.... so it not rocket science and putting her in jail is obviously not making her little girl dreams come true.
as horrible as being a child prostiutite has got to be, what if its the best life that has ever been available to her ? if she can run from home, whats stopping her from running from a pimp ? its not like i think its right, but i think further victimizing her is even more wrong.
there are so many people who want help, children are crying for help, she was probably one of them and when she couldnt get anyone to believe her, she ran away..... you hear this all the time.
but i haven't heard any of these rescued children saying "thanks mr policeman" ... maybe if someone came to her rescue when she was suffering from abuse in her home, she wouldn't have had to run away and become a prostitute to survive.
they do it the adult women too... i've heard from countless women in this business that they couldn't get the police to help them when they were getting the crap beat out of them by their husbands but as soon as her escort ad went up, ring ring, ring ring RESCUE MISSION CALLING
jackasses need to spend more time helping people who are asking for help
ridiculous
