A special program to bring awareness to the problem of human trafficking will be coming to Great Bend and Hoisington next week. The “Be Alert Project, See Something, Say Something,” is a presentation for both students and parents that features Russ Tuttle, President and Founder of the Stop Trafficking Project. Marissa Woodmansee, Director of Juvenile Services for the 20th Judicial District, says trafficking is a huge problem in the state of Kansas. But she says to understand trafficking is to know what it is.
