The legal system needs to assist these young girls that get caught with an out. With no money and no place to go they can’t get away. When a prostitute is caught she should be given an opportunity to get out of her situation by our police. There needs to be a program where these young girls can be relocated and put into a regular job with a new identity to get her out of harms way. When the police bust a prostitution ring, they need to offer a way out… not just send them to court and then put them back on the streets. Our legal system needs to be more compassionate of the situation. Unless we give these victims a chance we are never going to get control of this situation. The more we offer to these victims, the more they will let other victims know and hopefully we can get rid of this problem.

In reply to Karen. The most damaging thing about the reality of sexual slavery, euphemism 'human trafficking', is people's ignorance.

In reply to Patricia H. Great point Patricia H. If money is involved it would seem that would certainly qualify!

In reply to Karen. Most protitution is sex trafficking. Think of the man selling her for sex.

In my informed opinion, up to 100% of children are sold into sexual slavery by the systems created to protect & help them.

In America, children are removed without warrants! Parents are jailed for protecting their children!

CPS, Child Protective Services, is monitarily rewarded & motivated. Every child is bought & paid for by our government. They then place the child in a foster home & pay those people, most all of them!, who physically & mentally torture/abuse &, sometimes, kill them! The price, paid, is even higher for The edically kidnapped. The children are virtually slaves, they have been bought & paid for by our government & are treated as such!. . . . . This is the reason slave trafficking is so high, it is a government program of Evil!

I agree that human trafficking is appalling and needs to be addressed. However this is just another fear mongering tactic by politicians like the war on drugs and the war on sex. The statistics show that human trafficking is not as widespread as reported. In addition, (not that this is ok mind you) the majority of human trafficking is labor based and not sex trade based. Then you have states like FL that reclassify prostitution as sex trafficking and your numbers look alarming!

Human trafficking is despicable and needs to be stopped. I pray this admin can do the job.

We knew things were too quiet on the news media homefront, of course it’s the perfect time for government to “Bring full force and weight,” specially when re-implementation of the AWA is being looked at. More laws, less freedom.
