Abstract
The lived-realities and schooling experiences of children in today’s world can prove to be disturbing. As it stands, educators are challenged daily by issues that impact the academic achievement and emotional wellbeing of students who populate their classrooms. Educators however may be completely unaware about the issue of domestic minor sex trafficking [DMST] of school age children in the US. DMST “is the commercial sexual abuse of children through buying, selling, or trading their sexual services. Forms of DMST include: prostitution, pornography, stripping, escort services, and other sexual services” (Kotrla, 2010, p. 182).
