"National Runaway Safeline，" Steve said， as he answered the call. On the other end of the line was "Brooke，" who introduced herself in a clear， anxious voice.
"I heard about your Home Free program and wanted to know if you could help me get home，" the 18-year-old explained. Brooke then told Steve about her situation.
She first ran away from her mother's home in Washington at the age of 14 and began working in the sex industry as a prostitute for her boyfriend. Sex trafficking is a common experience for runaway youth， who are likely to be solicited for prostitution or another form of commericial sexual exploitation within 48 hours of running away.
While out on the streets， Brooke and her boyfriend had a baby who ended up in the custody of the state's child protective services.
"I just want to go back home and get out of this life style so I can get my son back，" Brooke said.
After speaking with Brooke and establishing that she was safe， Steve was able to arrange a conference call with Brooke's mother， who confirmed her story.
"Brooke was always a good student and stayed involved in school activities，" her mother related. "She just started hanging with the wrong crowd； that's how she met her boyfriend and starting prostituting."
With Steve's help， Brooke and her mother were able to reconnect and establish some goals for their relationship. Steve also supplied them with written and online resources from the Switchboard’s database.
Brooke's mother told her that she was more than welcome to come back home. Steve then proceeded with the Home Free process， contacting Greyhound to secure Brooke a bus ride home， where she would be safe and off the streets.
参与性交易对于离家出走的青少年来说是很普遍的经历，在离开家48小时之内的时间里，他们很容易走上这条道路。18岁的布鲁克也未能幸免，14岁离家的她已经从事了4年的性行业。但是最近在国家离家出走安全热线接线员史蒂夫的帮助下，布鲁克重新联系上了母亲。她的母亲表示，女儿一直都是好孩子，只是交错了朋友受到了不好的影响。随后，布鲁克将乘坐专门的巴士免费回家，以保证其路途上的安全，流浪的女孩终将回归家庭，重温母爱。
