The Preventing Sex Trafficking and Strengthening Families Act is a U.S. law aimed at protecting vulnerable children and preventing sex trafficking. It encourages states to improve child welfare systems, support families, and ensure timely placement of children in safe environments. The law also promotes better coordination among agencies, enhances oversight, and provides resources to identify and combat trafficking. Its core goal is to keep children safe from exploitation while strengthening family stability and ensuring proper care for those in foster or guardianship settings.
