Human Trafficking at the Lake

It’s a continuing problem spanning across global boundaries often originating in Third World countries and making its ugly mark in Missouri and, even further, here at Lake of the Ozarks. It’s human trafficking which, according to Micah Joseph with the Lake of the Ozarks Stop Human Trafficking Coalition, is even a bigger problem in communities with large temporary populations…

Missouri is tied with Washington D.C. for 20^th in the nation, in 2015, for the most reported cases of human trafficking. In an effort to raise more local awareness about the problem here at the Lake, a Family Fun Movie, Hotel Transylvania, is being shown this weekend at Osage Beach City Park. The activities start at 5:30 on Saturday with the free movie to start around 7. Donations from concessions will go to benefit the local coalition.
