Protecting Every Child

At a glance

A safe bed for every child and survivor, and one command that sees the whole picture

Children leaving trafficking, children in foster care and families fleeing danger need a safe place tonight, run by people who have been checked. BB2G gives your office a vetted bed of the right kind, in the right state, the same day, and one chain of command that audits every part of the system.

• Start with beds. GATEHOUSE holds a live board of 19 kinds of safe beds, from emergency shelter to foster, kinship and therapeutic foster homes, posted only by organizations that pass ten checks and two reviewer sign-offs.
• Hold every home to one standard. Every house is checked on its own, nobody is turned away for needing recovery support, and a new certification is earned house by house, never by paperwork alone.
• Run it as one chain of command. Investigator workspaces roll up to lead investigators, then to each jurisdiction, then to the national command, with your office, Mary Flynn O'Neill's team and the administration seeing everything beneath them.
• Audit in four layers. Each command inside each jurisdiction, each whole jurisdiction, each command across the nation, then the whole nation. Florida goes first.
• Investigate nationally. SALLYPORT connects vetted, licensed private investigators in every state, with sealed evidence handed to the right law enforcement agency.
• Fix the courts and prevent the harm. A trafficking intervention docket in every courthouse, a family court docket, DIGITAL SHIELD for children online and THE SHIELD PROJECT in every community.
• Build survivor futures. HEARTH gives each survivor a path to tell her story her way, start her own enterprise and become a certified court advocate.
• Next step. One working session to choose the priority states after Florida and open the first vetted beds.

Every Bed, Vetted GATEHOUSE · LIVE

Your office can place a survivor or an at-risk child in a vetted bed of the right type, in the right state, the same day. Only organizations that pass all ten GATEHOUSE checks and two reviewer sign-offs can post a bed.

How a placement works

1. An agency, advocate or the trafficking docket opens a referral by bed type, state, age, gender and language. The survivor is known only by a referral code.
2. The board shows every open vetted bed that matches. It shows the bed type and region only, never an address, so the board can never lead a trafficker to a child.
3. A BB2G coordinator confirms safety, eligibility, legal authority and the actual open bed, and the bed count updates.
4. The coordinator checks in at 72 hours and again at 30 days, then closes the referral.

The ten checks for every organization

Tax-exempt status confirmed with the IRS · a state license for every bed type, confirmed with the licensing agency · inspection record · liability insurance · incident and complaint history · a review of up to eight years of IRS Form 990 filings · every staff member and volunteer with resident access screened · two referring agencies and two professional references · a site walk-through by a BB2G reviewer · a signed GATEHOUSE agreement on safety, confidentiality and reporting duties. Licenses are rechecked on every renewal date, every organization is re-vetted once a year, and any complaint, arrest or license action suspends access the same day.

Safe housing and foster care

One Standard for Every Home

A child or survivor is placed in a house, not a brand. Every home in the network is checked on its own, held to one shared protocol, and earns its place with evidence.

How it is run

One Chain of Command

Each level of command sees the live workspaces of everyone beneath it, and every anti-trafficking resilience command in the country is in communication with every other.

Built in from the first day

• Everyone knows the rules. Each person signs at onboarding that their workspace is visible to the chain of command above them.
• Survivors stay sealed. Leaders see the work, the cases and the investigators. A survivor's identity and exact location open only to the person assigned to that survivor, at every level.
• Oversight is audited too. When anyone looks into a workspace below them, that view is recorded in the same log.
• Hardware keys for command access. LATCHKEY ties every sign-in to the person and the device, so a stolen password opens nothing.

Evidence, layer by layer

Audits in Four Layers, Florida First

Every resilience command is audited inside each jurisdiction, then each whole jurisdiction, then each command across the nation, then the whole nation. Every finding goes back into the system, so each jurisdiction is tuned to its own failures, flaws and wins.

The commands Florida holds

Data resilience: servers and hosting

1. Map every host. Every system, where it runs and which records it holds.
2. Map every key. Who holds each sign-in and encryption key, with hardware keys for anyone with command access.
3. Prove the backups. Two copies of every database, one in the cloud and one on hardware the jurisdiction owns, with restore drills on a set schedule.
4. Watch outbound data. No record leaves a system without a logged, approved route.
5. Each jurisdiction's data stays its own. Records live in their own enclave; the national view sees only rolled-up numbers.

Where Florida starts

Sarasota and Charlotte counties, where THE SHIELD PROJECT works with Schoolhouse Link, Suncoast Partnership to End Homelessness and Gulf Coast Partnership. The audit covers the Florida Department of Children and Families, the family and dependency courts, licensing bodies, and every placement contractor and funding recipient in the state.

Investigations

SALLYPORT LIVE

A national network of vetted, licensed private investigators who work cases from one county up to transnational organizations and hand each case to the right law enforcement agency with a sealed evidence record.

The briefing video walks through SALLYPORT and the Anti-Trafficking Resilience Command screen by screen.

The courts

A Trafficking Intervention Docket in Every Courthouse

A supplemental courtroom in every courthouse, run the way drug courts and veterans courts are run, with a family court version for child exploitation cases.

1. Screen. Every person who comes before the court is screened for trafficking.
2. Help the same day. A survivor identified in court is connected to a vetted bed, an advocate and medical care that day.
3. One team. Judge, prosecutor, defense, advocate and case manager work each case together.
4. Protected hearings. Sensitive hearings can be held at protected sites, such as the Attorney General's office, under a plainclothes protective perimeter.
5. Family court too. A child exploitation docket in family court, with vetted custody evaluators, guardians ad litem and supervised visitation centers.

Prevention

DIGITAL SHIELD and THE SHIELD PROJECT

The surest way to protect a child is to keep the harm from starting. BB2G works online and on the ground.

Survivor futures

HEARTH LIVE

Her story, her enterprise, her seat in court. Every survivor gets a path from safety to a life she builds herself.

• Her story, her way. A survivor tells her story in the form she chooses, when she chooses, or not at all.
• Her own enterprise. Through the AMERICAN DREAM PROJECT, survivors start their own businesses or nonprofits, with fundraising tools built for them.
• A certified court advocate. Survivors can train and certify as court advocates for the next survivor.
• A living mentor. Mary Flynn O'Neill guides the survivor cohort, with a survivor council shaping the program.
• The Ambassador's own story. BB2G will write and publish the Ambassador's book with her, with its companion app.
