Florida's Attorney General says the state is thinking outside the box when it comes to the fight against human trafficking.
Pam Bondi says many emergency room doctors, as well as truck drivers in the state have been trained on what signs to look out for when they come in contact with people who may be victims.
Bondi says these professionals are trained in programs specifically designed for personnel responding to or assisting during an emergency, so that victims of human trafficking can be better identify and assisted in the early stages of receiving emergency medical care.
According to the Family Violence Prevention Fund, "28 percent of trafficking survivors in one study said they came into contact with a healthcare provider during the trafficking situation, and were not recognized."
In January, Bondi announced a new website to spread awareness of human trafficking in Florida.
Sunday, ten people died and several others had to be hospitalized after being discovered in the back of an 18-wheeler at a Texas Walmart.
James Bradley Junior,60, of Clearwater admits to driving the truck, and is facing federal charges in the immigrant smuggling operation.
