Now that you have made public exactly the indicators that are being used to identify traffickers, traffickers know exactly what NOT to do, thereby making their capture and the rescue of their victims all the more difficult. Sometimes, reporters really need to assess the impact of what they report, especially in instances such as this. And if you are unsure, seek out some individuals in the community that have dealings with these situations on a daily basis. In this case, I think your article has done more harm than good, making Project Protect less effective.
