Brookhaven’s mayor and city council will become among the first city leaders in Georgia to learn how to recognize signs of child sex trafficking. The training is part of the city’s “Not Buying It” pledge, developed by the Governor’s Office for Children and Families Statewide Commercial Sexual Exploitation of Children Task Force, and is designed to educate about the dangers of child sex trafficking.
The training scheduled for 10 a.m. to noon Jan. 14 and 15 will be attended by Mayor J. Max Davis, Councilwoman Rebecca Chase Williams, Councilman Joe Gebbia, Councilman Bates Mattison, Councilman John Park and various city employees.
As part of the pledge, Brookhaven officials committed to not support businesses or activities that perpetuate child sex trafficking, to raise awareness on the problem, and to foster an environment that protects children from exploitation.
