Video: East Point police chief releases PSA on sex trafficking

EAST POINT, Ga. - Chief Shawn Buchanan with the East Point police released a new PSA video on sex trafficking Friday.

The video shows two teen boys approached by a group of three girls. The boys ask the girls if they'd like a ride to a party. When the girls seem interested, a third boy jumps out of the car with a gun, forcing them inside.

"Much too often, girls just like this are lured into sex trafficking," Chief Buchanan said in the video. "I know it's tempting to jump into a car with a stranger because you want a ride, but that is definitely the wrong answer."

The purpose of the fictional skit is to show people how easy it is to be tricked into a dangerous situation.
