Enjoy a talk by FBI Agent Minerva Shelton. The daughter of farm workers from Mexico, Minerva worked her way through the University of New Mexico and earned degree in criminal justice in 1992. She then joined the Army as a specialist in military intelligence and, in 1997, began a five year stint as a police officer in El Paso, Texas. In 2002 she joined the FBI.

When Special Agent Minerva Shelton transferred from Sacramento's gangs unit to its crimes-against-children squad almost two years ago, she noticed a troubling rise in teens advertised online. Shelton and her team have rescued more than a dozen girls from prostitution in the past year alone.

Shelton rejoices when she can reunite a youngster with loving relatives or place her with a caring foster family. "My heart goes out to these girls," Shelton says. "Every time I get through to one of them, I consider it a success. I am certain that they can turn their lives around."
