We understand commerce and can reasonably place a value on many products. Whether it is shopping for a new television, buying a gallon of milk, or looking for the latest cell phone, we understand the relationship between the cost of an item and the value it brings to us. Sadly, one of the fastest growing crimes globally is the commerce of our own children because people are deceiving the impressionable and using these victims for their own benefit. This atrocity takes place right here in our own country and more impactful, right in our own communities. The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children estimates that 1 in 6 endangered runaways reported to them were likely sex trafficking victims. In the United States the average teen enters the sex trade between 12 to 14 years of age. Shared Hope International estimates that at least 100,000 children are being used as prostitutes in America and as one of the fastest and most profitable growing crimes with an annual value around $32 billion globally; this problem will only get worse. Organized crime groups, including gangs, recognize the immense profitability in sex trafficking. In the selling of guns, cars, drugs or other products you only make a one-time commission off of a sale. When selling humans for sex, you can sadly continue to exploit the same person over and over again, in just one day, for continued profit. It is a horrible thought but a sad reality. Please do not stereotype the victims or the perpetrators who hold these girls in sexual bondage. They can be the same people that live on your street. In a recent case, a high school cheerleader left school early and was prostituting for a man who then had this girl recruit other females from her former high school. The underage girl who they took across state lines for prostitution was eventually rescued. Those looking to exploit our children will target them through websites, youth programs, malls, and other areas where children congregate. The person you least likely expect to exploit our children is the person most likely to do it. As with the high school cheerleader, it is much easier and convincing for a peer to deceive our youth into this captivity. Through drugs, alcohol, peer pressure, or a sense of belonging, our own children are falling prey to these predators and are losing their innocence. Law Enforcement alone cannot succeed conquering this epidemic. We need everyone to be aware and to look for the signs of human trafficking and then report it. From teachers, to those who work in the service and health industry, everyone can make a difference because every life matters. The Pasco Sheriff’s Office has recently partnered with the Pasco School District to train their members. These partnerships are critical to success. To learn more, I encourage you to go to the Pasco Sheriff’s website at PascoSheriff.com. You can make a difference. As to our initial question as to what is the cost of a human life? For those who put a price tag on life and sell our children as a commodity, we will hunt you down, for your lack of compassion will not be tolerated. For someone who reads this and is caught in the living hell of being used and exploited by a demon, please have the courage to call for help, we will be there for you, because your life is priceless. Office of Paula S. O’Neil Clerk & Comptroller Pasco County, Florida Steps to Protect Your Records this Hurricane Season By Paula S. O’Neil, Ph.D., Pasco County Clerk & Comptroller To prepare for this hurricane season, we would like to inform citizens and businesses about how they can take steps to protect their records. Part of your emergency plan should include collecting and safeguarding records and documents in your homes and businesses. Prepare for a disaster by taking an inventory of the documents and records. Determine which documents are critical and store copies in a waterproof case. Electronic copies can also be a solution for safekeeping. By using the Internet cloud or an external memory device, you can access scanned documents and electronic copies when power and Internet services are restored. Below is a list of important documents you may consider for safekeeping: insurance documents medical records copies of credit cards (back and front) copies of driver’s licenses for all family members copies of social security cards for all family members photos or video, and paperwork documenting valuables in the home copies of birth and/or marriage certificates copies of passports other personal documents Preservation of public records, both County and Court related records, is a key function of the Clerk & Comptroller’s Office. To obtain a copy of official or court case records, contact our office at 352-521-4542 in Dade City and 727-847-8031 in New Port Richey. To learn more about disaster preparedness, visit the Pasco County’s Emergency Management web page www.pascoemergencymanagement.com. I Can't Find My ID Card - Can I Still Vote? The answer is a resounding YES! This question rightfully earns its place among the frequently asked in the weeks preceding an election cycle. Several years ago, legislation was passed that changed the name of the Voter Registration Card to Voter Information Card, and its purpose changed as well. Voter Information Cards can no longer be used for identification purposes, and are now issued for the purpose of acknowledging one's voter registration. With the same legislation, came Florida Statutes, 101.043, which now requires you to show photo and signature identification when you present to vote. So what is the purpose of a Voter Information Card you ask? It contains a wealth of information for your convenience, e.g. your voter registration number, the date of your registration, your party affiliation, your precinct number and polling place address, as well as your legislative, congressional, county commission and school board districts. You will also find our website address, our mailing address, an address change form, and our phone number to call for a vote-by-mail ballot if you want one. A voter information card is important enough that F.S. 97.071 requires that a new card be issued upon an initial registration, upon signed written request, and whenever a change is made to a voter's record. Also, I am statutorily required to issue new voter cards any time there is a change to a polling location, precinct or legislative district to notify the effected voters. So what should you do if you can't find your voter card? Firstly, check pascovotes.com or call our office at 800-851-8754 to confirm that your registration is up-to-date and in good standing. Secondly, check pascovotes.com or call our office to find out where your polling location is. Lastly, if you'd like to have a new voter card, you should apply for one by accessing a voter registration application from pascovotes.com, or send us a signed, written request to PO Box 300, Dade City FL 33526.
