Indiana convenience stores are training their clerks to watch for signs of human trafficking. The anti-trafficking group, In Our Backyard, says about 500 stores have already had workers watch its six-minute training video. The Indiana Petroleum and Convenience Stores Association says all its members will follow suit, and post stickers in bathrooms with the phone number for a national helpline for victims.
