Children in Florida public schools would be taught about the dangers and warning signs of human trafficking under a bill passed by the state house.

The measure would include human trafficking in the health classes currently taught in Florida public schools.

The curriculum would focus on how to recognize and understand human trafficking, as well as child abuse.

Twenty-two Florida school districts already include human trafficking information in their health classes.

A similar bill is moving in the state senate.
