A new campaign to combat human trafficking began Friday in North Richland Hills and 70 Texas cities. The new 'Can You See Me' campaign uses hundreds of billboards donated by outdoor advertising companies. Authorities say several recent prostitution cases demonstrate the North Texas problem of people being sold for sex against their will or underage. At the billboard launch in North Richland Hills, former human trafficking victim Sophia Strother Lewis stood before other advocates against human trafficking and spoke about her experience as a child sold for sex 'Her mother then looks at her and decides consciously I want to use her to supply my drugs and pay my bills,' she said.
