special report

ESCAPING THE TRAP: Preying on the vulnerable from homeless girls to the girl next door MIKE ADLER AnD FAnnIE SUnSHInE newsroom@insidetoronto.com Girls are growing up online, and many in Greater Toronto spend as much time with social media as they do in school, chatting, liking, posting.

They don’t know pimps are watching.

Predatory men and boys are waiting not just at the shopping mall, but on Instagram, Snapchat, free dating sites, anywhere they can catch a girl at the right moment.

Experts say that could be after she argues with her parents, or expresses vulnerability about her looks.

“They’ll tell her how smart she is, how pretty she is, that she’s a grown-up who can make her own decisions and doesn’t have to listen to her parents,” says Michele Anderson, human trafficking advocate for Toronto’s Covenant House.

Sixteen is a typical age, but girls as young as 12 are targets.

“They tell their life stories online,” saying things like, “I look fat today,” said Det.-Sgt. Nunzio Tramontozzi, head of the Toronto Police human trafficking team.

Trolling, traffickers start out by assuring the girl, “You’re not, you look great,” he said.

“Within days, they hook them.”

Online luring is one reason sex trafficking happens around Greater Toronto - a hub for this type of crime through which victims are moved quickly from hotel to hotel not just to homeless girls, but to the girl next door.

If a child looks for validation or acceptance in an online space, and someone offers it, “that’s an adrenaline rush, that’s dopamine,” said Debbie Gordon, director of kidsmediacentre at Centennial College.

Online culture puts pressure on children to get approval for posts, or to build up followers, without really caring who those followers are, she said.

Some may say, “If I show more, take more risks, the next selfie will get more likes,” added Gordon. “You see so many kids taking such incredible risks.”

A trafficker will suggest meeting for dinner or coffee, and will shower a girl with expensive designer purses or cell phones, said Anderson.

They’ll then head to a hotel, where the girl is introduced to some of the trafficker’s friends, and she’s forced to have sex with them in exchange for the gifts she received.

“They’ll say, ‘What, you think this is all free?’”

Anderson said.

If the girl resists, blackmail ensues. Or the trafficker gets aggressive and abusive.

Victims are typically allowed home at night, but the

“

threat of physical violence always looms if they dare tell anyone what’s happening, Anderson said.

In Olivia’s case, the trafficker was someone she knew from high school, entering her life when she was about 20, struggling with her mental health and severely low self-esteem.

There was a honeymoon phase where she felt special and loved. Olivia (not her real name) began living with the trafficker, feeling like she hit the jackpot.

“He played on those vulnerabilities, knowing I wanted this relationship to be my forever.”

Olivia worked as his girl for two years, in hotel rooms from Burlington and Oakville to Markham, Richmond Hill, and downtown Toronto.

“To some degree, the industry itself met a lot of my needs. Now I felt good at something. I felt desired.”

Leaving was difficult. She was incredibly scared for her reputation, and her trafficker threatened to send her sex ads to people she cared about.

One day, a police officer posed as a John, checking

He played on those vulnerabilities, knowing I wanted this relationship to be my forever.”

–

Olivia

Olivia’s identification to see if she was underage. She wasn’t, and wasn’t too receptive to his questions, but kept his card.

It was six months before she called, hoping to escape and rebuild her life.

Some trafficked women and girls finally, literally run for their lives. Others are held in place by ingrained feelings of love, dependence or fear.

Luring is sometimes done by women, most often by friends who are victims themselves.

Some are told they could be “partners” with their trafficker if they recruit replacements.

Recruiting is a means of self-preservation, a chance to have sex with fewer people, said Carly Kalish, a therapist for the Scarborough-based East Metro Youth Services.

“The illusion of being their partner is a big part of why you stay, but it’s never actually the case,” she said.

NEXT: How Ontario’s new anti-trafficking strategy could convict more traffickers and offer crucial support to more survivors.

This is some of the language and words used which could indicate a girl is trapped in “The Game” (prostitution).

on’t talk to strangers is a common piece of advice parents give to their children.

Warning your kids to not go with someone to find their ‘lost’ puppy or enter a vehicle with mommy’s ‘friend’ because she’s late picking them up is part of parents’ basic arsenal of street proofing.

This isn’t new.

What’s new are the strangers lurking behind fake profiles on social media – canvassing the vulnerable for a life in the sex trade.

This week, Metroland Media Toronto is publishing the first of two parts on human trafficking of young girls.

Our reporters found in their research that predatory men and boys are spying on Instagram and Snapchat – any place they can find a girl who is down after a fight with her parents, a blow out with her boyfriend, ostracized by her friends or feeling or unaccomplished in Our VieW unpretty an online world where image, or the optics of having it all, is paraTalk to kids mount. in human trafficking about human tellExperts Metroland Media Toronto that girls around 16 years old are trafficking the main targets, but some as young as 12 have been lured into the sex trade.

“They tell their life stories online,” saying things like, “I look fat today,” said Det.-Sgt. Nunzio Tramontozzi, head of the Toronto Police Service’s human trafficking team.

Trolling, traffickers start out by assuring the girl, “You’re not, you look great,” he said. “Within days, they hook them.”

If a child gets the validation and acceptance they seek online it’s like a ‘dopamine’ hit experts say, the ‘adrenaline rush’ they need to feel valued.

You’ll read some troubling stories in this feature.

Stories of young girls being passed around from man to man, shuttled between hotel to hotel.

It’s important to trust our children enough to do the right thing online. But when the young mind is growing and emotions and hormonal changes are unbalanced, a kind word or a sweet gesture from the wrong guy at the right time is all it takes for the unthinkable to happen. We hope these stories educate and inform you of the dangers that are present.

Speak to your children. Open the discussion about human trafficking no matter how uncomfortable or awkward. Anything can happen to anyone at anytime.

column

Lastman set tone on keeping property taxes low It was only appropriate that as Toronto Council began to debate its budget directions for what could be a very austere 2017, surviving mayors of Toronto’s pre-amalgamation municipalities should be gathered to unveil a display of portraits and a bit of a light history lesson on amalgamation.

Former Toronto mayor Barbara Hall was there along with ex-Etobicoke mayor Doug Holyday.

Former York mayor Frances Nunziata was on hand to officiate, along with East York’s last mayor Michael Prue. The late Frank Faubert of Scarborough was in the picture, and there in memory.

And of course, there was Mel Lastman – North York’s first, last and only mayor; and arguably one of the preeminent co-authors of the financial conundrum that Toronto is facing today.

Lastman was North York’s favourite son, a successful municipal politician whose boosterish approach

david nickle the city to governance made his re-election in North York a certainty and made him a good bet to win the mayoralty in the first election of amalgamated Toronto.

It was a good bet but by no means a sure thing, and to nail it down, Lastman relied on two things: the love of his North York constituents, and a promise to freeze property taxes for three years straight.

This, he did for the first three costly years of amalgamated Toronto. And they set a standard – impossible to meet, but always there – of very low property tax increases. Because of that, revenue has never quite kept up with demand.

On Tuesday, Lastman offered a reminder of his original pitch.“People don’t understand. Take a look at the price of food: you go in to buy apples, you buy a

lettuce, a celery. Six bucks, eight bucks. It’s crazy. Then you come along the last thing in the line, the taxes.

You increase taxes? Where the hell will they get the money?”

Other mayors have put this more gracefully, but this is the blunt narrative that leads us to Toronto’s financial problems today.

Upstairs, Lastman’s successors spent the day grappling with the need for a 2.6 per cent cut to all programs in order to write a budget that’s sustainable. Property taxes have actually been shrinking over the years, and services have become more expensive.

Under questioning from councillors, senior staff acknowledged that services are going to be constrained and necessary growth in services in, for example, poverty reduction, will be nearly impossible. The tricks that saved Lastman and his successors – deferring expenses through what turned out to be bad

leasing deals, or ballooning revenue from our everbubbling land transfer tax, rescues from more sympathetic provincial governments – won’t be available for long.

So that means service cuts in the short term, and in the long term? Maybe revenue tools.

But Lastman wasn’t so sure about those. A little alcohol tax, some tobacco tax… maybe hotels would be fine.

“But if they start hitting on other taxes they’re in trouble, because the people can’t afford them and they’re going to get fed up with politicians completely,” warned Lastman.

With words of wisdom like that from amalgamated Toronto’s founding father, it seems pretty clear that we’ve all been in trouble for a very long time.

>>>from page 1 wake of the murder of the coffee shop’s co-owner, Scott Hunter.

Hunter, who also tended bar for several years at Cabbagetown’s House on Parliament pub, was fatally shot the evening of May 2, 2015 as a result of an altercation with three people during an alleged armed robbery attempt while visiting Louisville for the Kentucky Derby. Louisville police have arrested and charged three teens – two males and female – with murder and robbery in connection with his death.

A trial isn’t expected to get underway for more than a year.

At the time of Hunter’s death, the Louisville teens and their leaders were planning an outreach trip to Toronto and decided to include a stop at Grinder Coffee on their itinerary.

During that initial visit, they presented the café’s owner Joelle Murray with a colourful painting of the skylines of Toronto and Louisville

inscribed with the word ‘hope’ in the top right corner. Youth group member Abby Johnson crafted the original piece, which now hangs on the wall of the east-end coffee shop.

On Monday night, Grinder Coffee once again welcomed the youth group for a special gathering in honour of the one-year anniversary of Hunter’s death.

“This year we wanted to make it more of a ‘party feel’, a celebration of Scott’s life,” Murray said during a break from serving food and making beverages for the group.

“I wanted to make something positive out of something negative and come together like this is how we wanted to do it.”

Murray, who also called Hunter a close friend, said the kindness shown by the Louisville group has really helped comfort those grieving his death. “It really meant a lot to us that they went out of their way. A really bad thing happened but I’ve learned people are intrinsically good,” she said.

“They’re such a nice group of kids and people, and they’re also part of Scott’s story.”

AJ Drummond, one of Hunter’s close friends, attended Monday evening’s gathering. He said the kindness shown to Hunter’s family and friends by those at WPBC will have a ripple effect for years to come.

“This is going to change lives and that’s what Scotty did when you met him, he changed your life,” said Drummond, who is the founder of a group called Fathers Against Violence Everywhere.

Craig Hunter was also on hand and shared a few stories and thoughts about his younger brother.

He had gone to Louisville in early May to mark the oneyear anniversary of Scotty’s death and laid a wreath at the spot where he was killed.

While there, Hunter met up with WRBC’s youth group for dinner.

“The kindness of strangers has been really touching,” he said.

Gratitude Bag food drive launches for the summer JOANNA LAVOIE jlavoie@insidetoronto.com The organizers of the Gratitude Bag food drive, a community-based initiative where residents donate non-perishable food to the Daily Bread Food Bank, are once again challenging Torontonians to do their part to fight hunger.

On Monday morning, a competition to see which Toronto neighbourhood donates the most non-perishable food using the Gratitude Bag program was launched at Withrow Park. “We’re kicking things off in Riverdale, and bringing the contest home in Leslieville,� said Ward 30 Councillor Paula Fletcher in a release. “I’m sure our residents, and across the city, will give lots of good, healthy food towards this important initiative and show that we are a caring, giving community through the Gratitude Bag.�

Riverdale resident Grant Gordon founded the

Gratitude Bag program three years ago.

In a release he said poverty and hunger don’t stop for the summer.

“

Hunger is a real, moral dilemma across our city. – Grant Gordon

“Hunger is a real, moral dilemma across our city, and until a long-term solution to this problem is found, Gratitude Bag helps bridge the short-term problem of food bank donations slowing down in the summer months,� said Grant, who thanked CocaCola for its support and urged other corporations to come on board to support Gratitude Bag’s volunteer efforts.

Daily Bread Food Bank CEO Gail Nyberg said the program has really helped her organization fill the need for food donations during the summer months.

She also said she’s pleased

to see the initiative expanding this summer across the city with a bit of healthy competition between neighbourhoods.

The Gratitude Bag program identifies neighbourhoods throughout Toronto. Each week during the summer, one community is invited to take part.

The day before pick-up, volunteers distribute a door hanger to households letting them know about the campaign and how to participate.

The morning of pick-up day, residents receive a reusable red canvas “gratitude bag� bag on their doorstep to fill up with non-perishable food.

Volunteers collect the bags that evening and deliver the food to the Daily Bread Food Bank.

Since 2014, the program has collected an estimated 30 tonnes of food.

Visit www.gratitudebag. org for more details or to get involved.

not keen to wyouth jump all over presto

A youth transit advocate told the TTC board her peers are eager to adopt Presto, but see too many barriers for using it right now.

Bri Gardner, transit lead for the Toronto Youth Cabinet, said at Monday’s meeting a

Upfold said the T TC was also looking at adding full-service Presto vending machines at stations which could also provide concessions.

rahul gupta TO in TRANSIT survey of Toronto high school students conducted found just five per cent of respondents claimed to regularly use Presto.

Gardner said most students hadn’t tried using it due to a lack of availability plus the non-refundable cost of the card.

Gardener also called for extending the “overlap period” for phasing out tickets and tokens, which is expected to begin in early 2017.

TTC deputy CEO Chris Upfold told the TTC board plans are in the offing to launch a promotional campaign once implementation work is completed by early 2017. Along with that, Metrolinx, which administers the Presto program, is looking to create a “third-party” network of locations outside transit stops where you can buy a card or add a concession.

The TTC is developing a smartphone app to report harassment.

CEO Andy Byford said the new app will make it possible to take a flash-disabled picture of the harasser, log vehicle details and location, and immediately send it to the TTC’s transit control centre for further action.

Byford told CP24 the app could be of particular benefit to women, who he admitted are more likely to get harassed while on transit.

It’s still unclear how it will work in certain conditions, for example, on the subway, where a complaint couldn’t likely be sent while a train is in a tunnel due to the lack of reception.

More support needed for Syrian refugees in Toronto: Senate report MIKE ADLER madler@insidetoronto.com Syrian refugees in Toronto need more help from governments and the public than first thought, settlement workers and some Canadian senators say.

Federal and provincial governments should make new plans, and continue tapping the goodwill of Canadians, to meet those needs, Sen. Jim Munson, head of the Senate Committee on Human Rights, said this week.

The committee issued an interim report, containing recommendations for more settlement services, last week because it felt problems experienced by Syrian refugees were urgent. Having brought in 25,000, Canadians can’t turn their backs on the newcomers, who are an investment that will pay off in the future, said Munson Monday.

“We can’t let them down

now. We can’t let ourselves down now,” he said by telephone from New Brunswick.

“We have to get on with making this work.”

The all-party committee called on the federal government to provide the refugees with more Englishas-a-second-language classes and child care. It called for more mental health services for the refugees, more speed in approving the Child Tax Credit to families and replacing government loans made to refugees with grants.

Jamillah MananghayaPoernama, who coordinates the Agincourt Community Services Association’s Syrian Newcomer Projec, said some of the 200 Syrian families will find it hard to cope during the next six months.

“There’s an overwhelming need for a lot of things,” she said, adding though the refugees are grateful for all support, many are depressed or anxious. Many of the first

families to arrive in December or January have depleted their savings. Their private sponsors didn’t fully support them financially, thinking they could get jobs once they reached the safety of Canada, Mananghaya-Poernama said.

“Even entry-level jobs are very hard to find.”

When approached now by people who want to sponsor new Syrian refugees, she said she asks them to support those already here.

Munson said it would have been hard to know in advance what the cost of Syrian refugee settlement would be, but with new refugees coming this fall, governments should learn from the past six months and act accordingly.

“Refugees have said over and over again the last thing they want to be is a burden,” said the senator, whose committee heard often-emotional testimony from refugees and advocates in Toronto and other cities.

Direct to Door Delivery

Ontario’s Information and Privacy Commissioner (IPC) has withdrawn its legal action against Toronto police after new procedures were put in place preventing suicide attempt information from being shared with United States border officials.

The IPC began a probe after hearing that some Ontarians were denied entry into the U.S. because of their mental health history. The sensitive information was recorded by police forces and uploaded onto the Canadian Police Information Centre database, which is available to Canadian law enforcement agencies and U.S. border officials through an informationsharing agreement.

The IPC developed the Mental Health Disclosure Test (MHDT) and recommended the test be used before sharing mental health information.

Under the test, attempted suicides are only shared in limited circumstances.

In 2014, the IPC filed an application for judicial review with the Ontario Superior Court asking for an order to stop the broad disclosure of suicide-related information to U.S. agencies via the CPIC database.

“

I recommend that other Ontario police services incorporate the new safeguards into their suicide-related... disclosure procedures..

– Brian Beamish, Ontario Information and Prvacy Commissioner

In response, the Toronto Police Service (TPS) worked with the RCMP to create a new mechanism allowing all police services to suppress suicide-related entries from being accessed by U.S. CPIC

users. Under the new Toronto police procedures: * Disclosure to U.S. CPIC users is restricted to entries t h a t m e e t t h e M H D T; * Toronto police’s flagging system more clearly differentiates between suicide attempts and threats that include harm to others and those that do not; * All suicide-related entries are removed from CPIC after two years if no other attempt or threat has been made; * Toronto police will conduct periodic audits of its suicide-related entries.

The new procedure has satisfied the IPC’s concerns.

“By working collaboratively, the IPC and the TPS have been able to address privacy and public safety,” Commissioner Brian Beamish said in a news release Tuesday. “I recommend that other Ontario police services incorporate the new safeguards into their suicide-related CPIC disclosure procedures.”

Gerrard India Bazaar hopes to give people a slice of South Asia during annual festival >>>from page 1 July 16 and Sunday, July 17 along Gerrard Street East from Coxwell to Glenside avenues.

Presented by the Gerrard In d i a Ba z a a r Bu s i n e s s Improvement Area and cosponsored by TD Bank, the free festivities take place from 11 a.m. to midnight both days.

The festival’s main master of ceremonies is multi-awardwinning Indian stand-up comedian Vasu Primlani, who will also serve as the twoday event’s co-host alongside television personality Randy Persaud.

This year, organizers are also introducing a series of literary arts workshops, which aim to celebrate literary works of the contemporary South Asian community in Toronto

Admission is free and tickets are not required.

Aside from food and drink,

music, dance, art and fashion, the Festival of South Asia will also include open-air Bollywood film screenings as well as a Rangoli competition (patterns created on the floor using various materials) to encourage floor folk arts.

“Our mission is to revive the legacy of the Gerrard India Bazaar (Business Improvement Area) that thrives along Gerrard Street and to celebrate and promote South Asian culture and diversity,” said Tushar Unadkat, Festival of South Asia producer/director in a release. “...Estimated attendance is 250,000 based on previous year’s report and we hope to give everyone a slice of South Asian setting in two days.”
