Hooray for the U.S. Marshalls

I certainly agree with the last statement made by the reporter ........ Be a parent , not your child's best friend.

I knew [knew of] a young adult woman that was duped into a great job in Texas , working for a restaurant chain.
She disappeared for just shy of a year. I never talked to her directly, but what I did hear from her sister & my G/F at the time ........... she went through hell. G/F [a nurse] said she may never be the same .

This was in the early eighties.
 
People don't keep track of their children the way our parents did when we were younger. There's way more trouble for them to find now a days.
 
I’m glad to see so many of my favorite posters agreeing that these men did a great job of protecting our younger generation.

These men (the Marshalls) are highly skilled at what they do and they do it well. I noticed that Holly was somewhat aghast at the fact that 39 children in one location had been recovered, but Georgia and other locations across the U.S. have been used for drop sites for many years. The problem is that the traffickers move their “packages” from place to place every few days and this makes catching up to them difficult.
 
Who buys these kids? What is the kids function-slaves? Don't fully understand why you would buy a kid.
How do you keep the kid from running away?
Are they as Dom M states, sexual toys?

I do know Chinese who come to this country illegally are assisted by other Chinese as slave labors for one or
two years. The illegals work in Chinese restaurants or other jobs as slaves until they obtain papers for them.
The primary sites are China Towns, which are almost invulnerable from U. S. law.

And with today's justice system being the joke that it is, the problem is going to continue to flourish.

It’s not only the justice system that fails in this type of crime. Human trafficking is a federal and international crime. Sometimes, these kids (and adults) who are groomed and set up for sex trafficking do not remain in the U.S., but are shipped overseas. When they (traffickers) are caught and brought to justice, federal judges usually dole out very harsh sentences, as they should.

You would be surprised at who buys some of these slaves that are sold for sex. I could darn near write a book on sex trafficking. Being in the state police and doing frequent stops on the turnpike and the interstates allows Troopers a great opportunity to look for trafficking. There is a ton of information out there about this topic and I wish more people would at least familiarize themselves with some of the signs and other things to look for. Kids, especially those in “some” foster care are great targets to be used as sex slaves. Mrs. Robinson may be able to tell us some of what she has learned about children in sex slavery. California, I’m pretty sure, is the number one state for sex slavery of children and adults. Kids in the Caribbean are always at risk of being picked up and sold into slavery.

It’s a very pitiful situation.

Should be extra painful for those who are caught!

Not necessarily are they locked up. There have been and are instances of where a trafficker will gain a child’s trust on the Internet. Once they hook up in person, the grooming begins. The traffickers will tell the child anything he thinks they want to hear. We had a case not long ago where a trafficker gained the trust of a 15 y/o boy. The trafficker was actually brazen enough to go into his home and convince his parents that the boy had great potential as a rising basketball star and with the right training would be given a scholarship to a major university. The parents and the boy were naturally very excited, so the parents agreed to allow this trafficker (who was unknown to them) to train the child. Fast forward.....Once the trafficker gained his trust, he convinced the boy that he needed to do a photo shoot, so the coaches could see his physique.

You can see how things are escalating from here. Next thing, he had him going on dates and so on and on. I don’t want to upset anyone, so I will cut it off here, but you can fill in the blanks from there. Anyway, the mother became very suspicious in the second year of the relationship. The boy’s attitude had changed, his demeanor had changed, school work wasn’t going well and finally he just let it all out. Mom called the state police, we called the FBI because this was a federal crime, so we may have needed a federal warrant.

The major thing about all of this is the fact that human trafficking of any age is a real problem that is barely talked about. Some are sold into slavery, some are used as prostitutes, but whatever, most are not locked up to prevent escape. The lower income, less advantaged children are at the higher risk level of being trafficked.

Sometimes I wish I could return to my early days of innocence, because the world seemed like a good and fun place to live at that time. Then we grow up and learn.

The death penalty should await all involved with such, and it should be carried out promptly.

There is a lot of slavery and almost slavery with illegal immigrants from Mexico: maids, field workers...receive food, lodging and a few dollars
a week...they play on their fear of being caught and returned to Mexico. 'you cannot go out of house, you must stay hidden...'

The 'bad guys' speak only Spanish, so the illegals cannot learn English, which would assist them if they try to run away.
This too is a hidden problem, no one knows how many victims are out there.
