REPORT FRAUD, LABOR VIOLATIONS, AND ABUSE!

REPORT FRAUD, labor violations, AND ABUSE!

"Trafficking can occur in many licit and illicit industries or markets, including in brothels, massage parlors, street prostitution, hotel services, hospitality, agriculture, manufacturing, janitorial services, construction, health and elder care, and domestic service." (From "...Addressing Human Trafficking of Children and Youth in the United States" report at:https://www.acf.hhs.gov/sites/default/files/cb/acyf_human_trafficking_guidance.pdf) If you oppose human trafficking and don't want your children or loved ones trafficked for sex or labor, don't entrust their care to out-of-home placements and be careful not to let traffickers provide in-home care or services.

HEAL Mission receives thousands of reports of fraud and abuse at residential and wilderness programs for children and youth each year. In order to better assist all victims of institutionalized fraud and abuse, we have created this directory. If you are a victim of institutionalized fraud and/or abuse, please file complaints with the appropriate agencies below.

In addition, if you are an employee or former employee who was harassed, denied breaks, unpaid or under-paid for hours worked, or subjected to any violation of United States labor standards, please report your employer/former employer to the appropriate labor law enforcement agency below.

If you are a victim of fraud via deceptive online marketing or which also involved deceptive online marketing, report the URL (i.e. www.sacredbreathacademy.life ) of the fraudulent company (including and especially segregated congregate facilities such as group homes, boarding schools, and similar facilities) to: https://www.ic3.gov/default.aspx Press criminal charges when you are a victim of crime! This is the remedy available and will aid in shutting down fraudulent and abusive programs and their deceptive marketing.

(Special Note: Please report facilities and individuals operating without a license to the appropriate licensing enforcement agencies. And, be sure to look for entity-specific reporting guides on info pages (i.e. https://www.heal-online.org/bluesky.htm )regarding programs on the watch-list.)
