In several states, commercial sexual exploitation of children (CSEC) is now a reportable child abuse offense. Illinois has taken the lead in tackling the issue and the Illinois experience illuminates valuable lessons. This article delineates the protection, practice, and policy implications that evolve when CSEC falls under a state child welfare system. The specific aims are to (a) discuss CSEC, its victims, risks, harms, and challenges inherent in providing effective care; (b) use Illinois as an exemplar to explicate the consequences and implementation challenges of establishing a state reporting system that frames CSEC as a child welfare issue; (c) recommend strategies for developing effective state reporting models, and (d) demonstrate how nurses are well poised to advocate for victims of human trafficking on both state and national levels. Recommendations for improving the identification of CSEC victims and overcoming challenges to state implementation are offered.
在几个州，对儿童的商业性剥削（CSEC）现已成为一种应报告的虐待儿童罪行。伊利诺伊州率先应对这一问题，其经验提供了宝贵的借鉴。本文阐述了当CSEC纳入州儿童福利系统时所产生的保护、实践和政策影响。具体目标是：（a）讨论CSEC及其受害者、风险、危害以及提供有效护理所面临的挑战；（b）以伊利诺伊州为例，说明将CSEC界定为儿童福利问题并建立州报告系统的后果及实施挑战；（c）推荐开发有效州报告模式的策略；（d）展示护士如何有能力在州和国家层面为人口贩运受害者发声。文中还提供了关于改进CSEC受害者识别以及克服州实施过程中挑战的建议。
