Today, Congressman Dave Camp (R-Midland) released the following statement after the House passed H.R. 4058, the Preventing Sex Trafficking and Improving Opportunities for Youth in Foster Care Act.

"It is unacceptable that foster care is leaving youth vulnerable to becoming victims of sex trafficking. We can do better. We must ensure that foster care creates a stable, supportive environment for children so they can have the tools to lead healthy, successful lives. I commend the hard work Dave Reichert and all Committee Members put into this bipartisan legislation that will better protect youth in foster care and combat this terrible crime."
