The Placer County Office of Education supports school district staff, parents/caregivers, and community-based agencies in issues related to commercial sexual exploitation of children by providing training, staff development, technical assistance, and consultation. Commercial Sexual Exploitation of Children (CSEC) refers to a range of crimes and activities involving the sexual abuse or exploitation of a child for the financial benefit of any person, or in exchange for anything of value (including monetary and non-monetary benefits), given or received by any person. In partnership with Placer County Children's System of Care, KidsFirst, Child Advocate's of Placer County, and local law enforcement, the PCOE CSEC team provides educational case management and advocacy for youth at risk of sexual exploitation and their families.
