Carey Child, senior counsel to Chadbourne & Parke, was performing his duties as treasurer for his sons' high school crew team when another parent said a Fairfax County, Virginia-based task force against human trafficking needed some legal expertise.

“Funding was from grant to grant, case to case,” Child said of the Northern Virginia Human Trafficking Task Force. “There were a number of corporate entities that were interested in providing grants and sponsorships and funding but just institutionally couldn't do that to something that wasn't incorporated and wasn't a 501(c)(3).”

Inspired by the task force's mission, Child spent much of 2015 helping to create the “Just Ask” Trafficking Prevention Foundation, an effort of Fairfax County's police department, public school district, faith-based groups and community organizations.
