2014 Human Trafficking Annual Report OCFMP Staff

The Ohio Attorney General, Mike DeWine, released the 2014 Ohio Attorney General’s Office Human Trafficking Report this past month. The report outlines work done by the Ohio Attorney General’s Human Trafficking Commission. The Commission was restarted in 2011. It includes elected and appointed officials, members of local, state, and federal law enforcement, public and private social agencies, religious groups, and schools. “Over the past year we have worked to assist victims of human trafficking and to craft and pass legislation providing better protections to minor-age victims and stronger penalties for those who traffic children,” said Attorney General DeWine. “Nothing is more important than protecting Ohio’s children and families from harm, and the criminals who enslave and abuse vulnerable Ohioans must be and will be held accountable.” The report touts the passage of the End Demand Act, House Bill 130, that increases the penalty for purchasing sex from a minor to a felony. It also broadens Ohio’s definition of trafficking, prohibits certain child and massage advertising, terminates parental rights for parents who traffic their children, among other items. Included in the report are the 2014 Human Trafficking statistics reported by Law Enforcement. We have broken out these statistics into tables to compare them to the prior year. According to the report, a total of 4,975 Ohio peace officers took part in and completed human trafficking training provided by the Attorney General’s Ohio Peace Officer Training Academy in 2014. The full report can be found on the Attorney Generals website at www.ohioattorneygeneral.gov.

Missing From Chillicothe Ohio Since May 3rd, 2014 Missing Chillicothe Woman. It is a news report that we have heard far too many times in the last year. One of those alerts was for a young mother of 2, Charlotte Trego. The 27 year old was last seen on Saturday May 3, 2014. Charlotte had spent the day with her mother, Yvonne and daughter, Chloe. They enjoyed the day at Ross lake, a small lake on the outskirts of Chillicothe. Charlotte grew up an average kid. She enjoyed playing in the creeks and climbing trees. Her mother recalls the kids often playing hide and seek. Charlotte has a brother and 2 sisters that she was very close with while they were growing up. She would go dancing with her sister Sherry and they enjoyed their sister time together. The family spent a lot of time together when the kids were younger. They spent many weeks at the race track and picnicking but like most mothers, Yvonne wishes they would have spent more time together. After spending the day at the park on May 3rd, Yvonne dropped Charlotte off around 3:30pm at the corner of Ewing and Main Street on the south east side of Chillicothe. Charlotte had plans to meet with a friend. Charlotte told her mom that she loved her and told her what a special mom she was. This would be the last time Yvonne would see her daughter. It is unlike Charlotte to go without talking to her mother. They would some times talk 2 or3 times a day on the phone. Just a couple weeks later on May 16th, a friend of Charlottes, Tameka Lynch, was also reported missing. Her body would be located 2 weeks later in Paint Creek. Its believed she died of an overdose.

OCFMP Web Staff

“We want Charlotte and the public to know that she is missed and loved very much. The whole family just wants her to come home. Her children are suffering because she is missing. We know someone might have just a little bit of information, but that might be all that is needed to bring her home.“ Yvonne Boggs, Charlotte’s Mother 10

Since her disappearance Charlotte has had a number of her friends pass away from overdoses and it is known that she was also a drug user. Even though she had her problems, Charlotte was a kind person and would do anything to help a friend. She is very outgoing and would never cause harm to anyone. On July 7th she was added to NamUs, a national database of missing and unidentified persons. “The whole family wants Charlotte home” The family has been very active in spreading the word on Charlottes disappearance. The first search for her was conducted on May 25th by the Ross County Sheriffs Department and numerous searches have been conducted since by volunteers and agencies. Yvonne has done a number of interviews, including for this article, in hopes that someone will come forward. She has also helped the families of the other missing women from the area. Wanda Lemons has been missing since November 3rd and another friend of Charlottes, Shasta Himelrick, was reported missing on December 26th. Her body was recovered on January 2nd, 2015 from the Scioto River. Yvonne has also worked with Southern Ohio Crime Stoppers to set up a $1,500 reward.

You can remain anonymous by calling Crime Stoppers at (800)222-TIPS You may also call the Ross County Sheriff (740) 773-1186 Chillicothe Police (740) 773-1191 Investigator Bonnie Davis (844) 263-3424, ext.705

Official Investigations and Security Services, Inc. were hired by Yvonne to investigate Charlottes disappearance. The Chief Investigator, Mike Rolfes and Private Investigator, Bonnie Davis are involved in the case and continue to follow up on leads. They started the “Find Charlotte Trego” Facebook page to help raise awareness. It is stressed that you report anything that you might have seen, heard or know about Charlottes disappearance. She has 2 children and a family that need her back home. Charlotte E. Trego was last seen on May 3rd, 2014 wearing a black short sleeved shirt, jeans and camouflage shoes. She was last known to be at the corner of Ewing and Main Street in Chillicothe, Ohio. She is 5’ 6” and weights 160 pounds. She has a Playgirl bunny tattooed on her upper right arm with the word “Playgirl” above it. She also has a flower band on her upper left arm with “Chloe” below it, “James” on her upper right breast and a Chinese symbol on her right ankle. She does have connections to Columbus and Bainbridge, Ohio. If you have any information about her disappearance please contact the Ross County Sheriff at 740-773-1185 or Private Investigator, Bonnie Davis, at 844-263-3424, ext. 705.

6 Tips To Keep Your Child Safe At An Event Plan - Talk with your children about what to do if they become lost. Tell them about safe areas and where they should go. Pick out items that are easy to see and tell your child to meet you there if they get lost.

Always accompany young children to the bathroom in public places. Never let them go into a secluded area by themselves.

Never tell your children that a Police Officer will take them to jail if they are bad. Teach them that Police Officers and Fire Fighters can help them if they are lost or hurt.

Make a phone number bracelet, with your cell phone number, for your child. Teach them to show it to a Police Officer or store employee if they get lost.

Dress your children in bright clothing that is easy to see in a group.

Take a picture of your child before the event. This way you will have an updated picture with their current clothing to give to police if they go missing.

____1. Memory loss that disrupts daily life. One of the most common signs of Alzheimer’s, especially in the early stages, is forgetting recently learned information. Others include forgetting important dates or events; asking for the same information over and over; relying on memory aides or family members for things they used to handle on their own. What's typical? Sometimes forgetting names or appointments, but remembering them later.

______________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________ ____2. Challenges in planning or solving problems. Some people may experience changes in their ability to develop and follow a plan or work with numbers. They may have trouble following a familiar recipe or keeping track of monthly bills. They may have difficulty concentrating and take much longer to do things than they did before. What's typical? Making occasional errors when balancing a checkbook.

______________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________ ____3. Difficulty completing familiar tasks at home, at work or at leisure. People with Alzheimer’s often find it hard to complete daily tasks. Sometimes, people may have trouble driving to a familiar location, managing a budget at work or remembering the rules of a favorite game. What’s typical? Occasionally needing help to use the settings on a microwave or to record a television show.

______________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________ ____4. Confusion with time or place. People with Alzheimer's can lose track of dates, seasons and the passage of time. They may have trouble understanding something if it is not happening immediately. Sometimes they may forget where they are or how they got there. What's typical? Getting confused about the day of the week but figuring it out later.

______________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________ ____5. Trouble understanding visual images and spatial relationships. For some people, having vision problems is a sign of Alzheimer's. They may have difficulty reading, judging distance and determining color or contrast. In terms of perception, they may pass a mirror and think someone else is in the room. They may not recognize their own reflection. What's typical? Vision changes related to cataracts.

______________________________________________________________________ 16

Misplacing things from time to time, such as a pair of glasses or the remote control.

_______________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________ ____8. Decreased or poor judgment.

What's typical? Sometimes feeling weary of work, family and social obligations.

_______________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________ ____10. Changes in mood and personality.

How To Keep Your Home Safe 20

Upgrade your locks to locks that have anti-bumping technology and use dead bolts.

1 2

Treat the door between your garage and house as an external door.

Do not leave your keys in your car. Install pin locks on your windows.

Check all doors and windows after you have a contractor or stranger in your home.

5 6

Never leave a ladder stored outside or in an unlocked shed.

7 8 9 10

Install landscape lighting and motion lights. Install a quality home alarm system.

Start a neighborhood watch and get to know your neighbors. Install a peep hole or front door camera so that you can see who is at the door before you open it.

Home security is a vital but often overlooked aspect of our daily lives. We live in a fairly open society and it is human nature to want to trust those around you. Many people do not think about taking proactive steps to secure their home until something bad happens. While 80% of abductions are committed by family or friends, we still need to insure we are doing everything we can to prevent stranger abduction. Proper security will not only help prevent abductions but also

11 12

reduce the risk of other crimes and could help on your insurance premium. Information Security experts will tell you that the biggest gap in security is the human element. You can install the greatest security system in the world, but if you forget to set it, it wont do a single thing. Make sure you take the time to insure all of your doors and windows are locked. Always set your alarm even if you are just running to the store. Often times criminals will sit and wait for you to leave. A 10 minute

trip to the store is more than enough time for your sense of security to be violated. Encourage your kids to learn about your home security and understand the importance of it. All family members need to be on board and able to understand how your security measures work. Proper security does not make you paranoid or scared. It simply means that you understand that there are risks to your family and you want to mitigate them.

Own a large dog. Do not hide a key outside . 21

Random Thoughts Care Not Judge Just recently we had a transgender or gender fluid, depending who you ask, teenager go missing. While the teen was found safe, my concern was over the reaction from the public. The LGBT community strongly came out to support the search efforts, as did many members of the community. I spent a number of hours just reading what was being said in articles, blog posts and social media comments. This is something I commonly do in missing person cases. The public reaction is something I study so that, maybe, one day we will be able to determine what makes a case go viral or receive more attention than others. While researching this case I saw a great number of people that felt the need to be rude and make bullying comments. I understand that we have a segment of the population that is just that way. They like to shock people and “troll” posts. I am not worried about them as they will always be there. It is best to ignore them and move on. My real concern came from people who generally cared that the teen was missing but either lacked education on the subject or felt the need to push their political view into the discussion. When someone is missing, politics or your opinion of the persons lifestyle do not matter. We have far too many families that are hurting and the only thing that matters is that we get an answer to them about their loved one. I commonly see this with missing persons that are known to have a drug problem. Yes, the drug use very well may have led to their disappearance. However, we for one, do not know that. They could have been kidnapped for trafficking, could have had a medical issue and fallen into a ditch or any number of scenarios that we have real world examples of. Secondly, the person is still missing. They still have a family that cares. They still deserve our attention. Just because someone is struggling with an addiction or an alternative lifestyle, it does not mean we should care less. It is our stance that we do not discriminate based on any factor in a missing person case. We do have to limit the number of posts that we make solely because of the volume of missing persons. However, we never limit based on the persons lifestyle, gender, race, political ideology or various other items. We ask that you do the same. “The only change that we can guarantee is the change that we make. “

Family Posting On Social Media We are in a new world when it comes to communicating with the public. The family now has a direct line to the world and some do not understand that power. Granted, many only have one focus, their loved one. I only ask that if you are family, and posting about your loved one, that you think before you post. Yelling at police and calling them useless on your page does not help. Calling out members of the community and saying they know something does not help. Using vulgar language does not help. Many people get very turned off by these types of posts and the people who feed these types of posts are not the ones you want helping locate your missing loved one. You lose all credibility with the general public with these negative posts. Instead, just be positive. Talk about your loved one and reserve your dismay for private conversations. Have A Thought? Do you have a random thought? Send it to admin@ohiomissing.info and we may publish it.

We get a lot of comments posted and sent to us. We want to share a few. About a missing person that was found safe. “So proud of our community response, so pleased with the appropriate CPD responses (training works) and very happy with the media… We all deserve a collective pat on the back!” - Chris

Comments To a missing person that was found to have runaway. “Please be safe whatever your story, TOO many crazy people out there to take advantage of a trusting soul and TOO many people care about you who’d hate to see something less than amazing for you. I saw people downtown passing out flyers and everyone I watched one handed to was concerned. Always be aware of your surroundings and never take safety for granted. Love & hugs” - Chuck

About a story we wrote. “They did my mothers story and did a wonderful job. I recommend this for all of your missing loved ones.” - Kathy

About Human Trafficking. “We have a real problem. I do not understand how people can do this to each other. Please continue to fight this” – Joy

About A Missing Person Missing For 2 Weeks. “It is really sad that we can not always get the news to cover some of these missing person cases. I bet they would run stories 24/7 if it was their family member missing” -Todd

About The Ohio Center For Missing Persons. “You give me hope.” - Tammy

About Using SAR Teams. “I can’t believe how hard it is for a search and rescue team to be used. Why wont the police use them?” – Chris

About A Missing Person Found Safe. “Thank you for sharing the updates. Most of the time we never hear when they are found” – Mary

About The Ohio Missing Dispatch. “I am so happy to see this being done. Please keep it up and I hope people join you.” - Mark

One-sixth of missing persons have psychiatric problems. Learn more by following us on facebook. 23
