specialized protocol for responding to a child who is, or is at
risk of being, a trafficking victim to ensure the response
focuses on the child's specific safety needs as a victim of
trafficking, and that includes the development and use of an
alternative mechanism for investigating and responding to cases
of child human trafficking in which the alleged offender is not
the child's parent or caregiver without utilizing existing
