## Claims

### Claim 1

A computer-implemented method for sex trafficking prevention, the method comprising:
receiving at a first computing device safe place location information of the location of one or more safe places transmitted over a network from one or more safe place computing devices respectively,
transmitting by the first computing device the safe place location information over a network to a second computing device;
receiving at the first computing device an alert and location information transmitted over a network from the second computing device wherein the location information comprises the location of the second computing device;
transmitting by the first computing device the alert and the location information of the second computing device over a network to one or more of the safe place computing devices;
receiving at the one or more safe place computing devices the location information of the second computing device;
providing by the first computing device a communication link between the second computing device and at least one of the one or more safe place computing devices; and
for each of the one or more safe place computing devices, displaying on the safe place computing device a map indicating the location of the second computing device and the location of the safe place computing device, wherein:
the first computing device periodically receives the location information of the second computing device from the second computing device and transmits the location information of the second computing device to the one or more safe place computing devices until receiving a safe message from the second computing device.
