In the news this week: a trial wrapped up in Michigan on a 16 year old’s murder while working for an escort service and a trial barely started when a man plead guilty to multiple charges from pimping several people, including two minors. In Texas, a woman was arrested for going door to door trying to pimp out a 14 year old runaway.

In San Francisco, the debate is heating up over needle exchanges and the need to collect used syringes in safe containers. The Homeless Youth Alliance has been helping youth be safer for over 10 years in their needle exchange.

And check out the report on Elevate, a youth leadership organization for youth in foster care.
