As investigative journalist Amy Fine Collins notes, “It’s become more lucrative and much safer to sell malleable teens than drugs or guns. A pound of heroin or an AK-47 can be retailed once, but a young girl can be sold 10 to 15 times a day — and a ‘righteous’ pimp confiscates 100 percent of her earnings.”

Consider this: every two minutes, a child is exploited in the sex industry.

According to USA Today, adults purchase children for sex at least 2.5 million times a year in the United States.

While some young people, like those who are homeless or transgender, are especially vulnerable, the truth is that victims do traverse across every type of neighborhood. They could be top of the class, the girl who lives across the street from you, or the head of the cheer-leading squad.

[quote]As Alameda County District Attorney Nancy O’Malley, a national leader on human trafficking issues, told the media, “It just opens up the door for traffickers to use these kids to commit crimes and exploit them even worse.” Another prosecutor insightfully observed that if traffickers wrote legislation to protect themselves, it would read like SB 1322.

FACT: Under this misguided law, pimping and pandering will still be against the law whether it involves running adult women or young girls. But, according the Washington Times’ Travis Allen: “Legalizing child prostitution will only incentivize the increased exploitation of underage girls. Immunity from arrest means law enforcement can’t interfere with minors engaging in prostitution — which translates into bigger and better cash flow for the pimps. Simply put, more time on the street and less time in jail means more money for pimps, and more victims for them to exploit.

Not long after Paul Ryan and Co. gave Obama his full funding for Planned Parenthood—$216 million—a full scale lawsuit was filed against those who exposed their butchery and selling of baby parts. And wouldn’t you know it, in a stunning act of legal jujitsu, a grand jury in Houston Texas (a human trafficking mecca) indicts the two pro-life activists who created the video that exposed this infanticide, even though their job was to investigate Planned Parenthood. I SMELL A RAT. Apparently so do these two Pro-Choice reporters, who admit in this article that something is wrong here…

[quote] A few years ago, my airline started training us on spotting telltale signs of human trafficking on the plane. Can the passenger speak for themselves, or is someone with them controlling what they say? Does the passenger avoid eye contact? Do they appear fearful, anxious, tense, depressed, nervous, submissive? Are they dressed inappropriately, or do they have few possessions — even on a long flight? Can the passenger move independently, or are they accompanied by someone seemingly controlling their every movement?[/quote]

With jump teams consisting of former CIA, Green Berets and SEALs, Ballard’s organization takes great risks to save children from sex slavery. Amazingly enough, they do it by pretending they’re traffickers – while capturing everything on film.

[quote] If me and my team don’t find these kids and go with these kids, no one is going to. It’s our job. We have to do something…We’re gonna go after these bad guys, anywhere they are. We’re gonna find them. We’re gonna route them out, we’re gonna pull these kids out.[/quote]

When a mom found her 14-year-old daughter’s photo on a website under the false name “Diamond,” she decided to take action. She responded to the ad by texting, “Interested. What can $200 get me?” She said she got a text response saying, “good sex.’”

From that point forward, she was determined to rescue her daughter…

[quote]Their 18-year-old daughter was held in the building of the Luhansk SBU, and together with her in a small room with sealed windows there were about 40 other girls from Luhansk, all aged from 17 to 22 years old. Marina’s parents asked for help from Ukrainian police, internal investigative forces, even Russian journalists (since there was no other alternative), but all to no avail.[/quote]

[quote]They stick us with needles that have some mind-numbing substance, which forces us to stop thinking temporarily, and during that time they do with us whatever they want. Girls here are constantly changing, new ones arrive, while others are taken “to work” at checkpoints, then they do not come back here again. I don’t know what happens to them. I might go mad soon.
