“The thousands of young American girls who authorities say have been kidnapped or lured from their normal lives and made into sex slaves. While many Americans have heard of human trafficking in other parts of the world -- Thailand, Cambodia, Latin America and Eastern Europe, for example -- few people know it happens here in the United States” (ABC.com, 2006).
"The FBI estimates that well over 100,000 children and young women are trafficked in America today. They range in age from 9 to 19, with the average age being 11" (ABC.com, 2006).
There were two different brief stories happen to two girls. Their name is Debbie and Miya. Debbie is only 15 years old. She was raped by several guys. However, what is really happen to her is that one of her friend showed up with two men in the car. Debbie came over and her friend shoved her in the car. One of men told her friend what to do such to tie Deb up and put tape on her mouth. They were aiming at them to make sure they were not making any moves. They were threatening them. However, when they were arrive at men’s apt and brought girls inside. They were messing with these girls and raped them. However, Deb had been stuck with these men and had sex with over 50 men. These men include married men with kids. She felt disgusted. (I agreed!) Also, she was earning hundreds of dollars a night. She was beaten, forced to have sex and will threat her family. She wants to escape but afraid to escape because she doesn’t want to die. In few days later, the officer went looking for her and went to his apt twice. Finally, they found her and she was tied up and crushed into a drawer under a bed. After they found her, she was relieved and wanted to be with her family again.
There is other story about Miya. She is only 19 years old. She worked at the mall. She was doing her job and there was fine guy stopped by. He told her that he was model agent. Also, he offered her to join in his company to photos shoot of her. She took his offer. She went with few guys and did photo shoots. She had to go California with them for special photos shoots. Guys posted the pictures on the website and it was an escort service site. She suffered her own cruel tribulation and was forced to work as a prostitute. One day, she decided to escape with her suitcase on her own and it was successful. She reported police on guys. She was glad to be with her family again and don’t want to be in their reach again.
It is not surprise me often because I know there are some violence and some cruel happen in this country and on half of other world. However, I knew there were some sex trades in US but I did not expect that would be happening often in this country. I’m glad these girls are safe at least. They were really brave to handle with cruel situations. I couldn’t imagine if there is something happen to me and I will really terrify for sure.

About sex trafficking... I have to admit, i never knew Americans do that too. I mean, in America, you can find anything you want to please yourself. Parties, sports, work, and freedom is all there and yet we still are breaking laws. Sex trafficking in AMERICA, just hit me, i mean there is plenty women out there and still America needs children. That is just sick that is one reason why prison hates pedophiles even if prison are filled with criminals, they still hate pedophiles. It just sickk!
ReplyDeleteIt is disgusting that America does sexual trafficking too. It is so hard to identify and find those people that do it. It is really sick and disgusting that people do this kind of thing around the world. Even the world's leading country, America does the same thing. We don't practice what we preach.
