Mental Health Service Takoma Park

A MCGOP Common Sense Proposal on The Proposed Drug and Mental Crisis Center.

There has been a lot of contentious talk between longtime residents of Seven Locks and County Bureaucrats and firm opposition by The Mayor and Council for Rockville that is well documented.

Why the diversion Center?  Rockville voters are concerned.

This Proposed Restoration Center, we know, should be located at the recently shuttered (April 2023 after Covid) Adventist Takoma Park Hospital shown above.

A SPECIAL DISCUSSION ABOUT SEX TRAFFICKING IN MARYLAND

At MCGOP Headquarters September 13.  MCGOP held a presentation about human trafficking with Candace Parrott from the Maryland Human Trafficking Task Force. We learned that Montgomery County is a hot bed for human trafficking. No child is immune. Candace has seen it in Potomac and Chevy Chase as well as other places around the county. Mostly white people are trafficked. The traffickers look for vulnerable kids and can find them online, at malls, at movie theaters, or anywhere kids hang out. There has been an uptick in MoCo with LGBTQ youth as victims. There is a hotline number if you suspect that you know someone or see what you think may be human trafficking: 1-888-373-7888 or text “Be Free” to 233733, text “Suspected case.”

Here is some information provided by Candace Parrott ([email protected]):
Do not try to handle the situation by yourself.
Call the National Hotline: 1-888-373-7888 or text "Be Free" to 233733, text "Suspected case."
