Which of the following is a sign of human trafficking?

• A. Poor health
• B. Signs of neglect
• C. Being coached
• D. All of the above

Answer: (D)

Recognizing red flags for trafficking is the key idea here. Poor health can arise from abuse and neglect, with injuries, malnutrition, untreated medical conditions, and limited access to care under a trafficker’s control. Signs of neglect show up as poor living conditions, lack of basic hygiene, missed schooling or work, and limited supervision or support from trusted adults. Being coached is another telltale sign: the person may give rehearsed or inconsistent stories, seem afraid to speak for themselves, or follow instructions that hide who is really in charge or where they are. When these indicators appear together, they strongly point to trafficking, making the option that includes all of these signs the best choice.
