"We've always talked about helping the victims. This is the first major efforts to bring all the players to the table and say what can we do as a team."

The team played a big role in the safe return of 16-year-old Aaron and his 13-year-old sister Emma Blackwell. The teens were abducted at gunpoint in Indianapolis, Indiana at the start of this week.

Aaron was located in southwest Detroit Monday night, his sister also discovered safe Tuesday. Several were arrested and charged for the abductions.

How does human trafficking begin?

"A lot of times it's trick and coercion," Diamond said. "These guys know how to find vulnerable individuals. Broken homes, they've got some problems and run away. They don't put them out there and start, per se, pimping them. They gain their trust. 

"Sometimes, they get them hooked on drugs. They take them away from their homes so then they are on the other side of the state with nowhere to go. They can't call mom because they ran away because they are in a terrible situation and they are forced into it."
