Here is an issue that creates knots in our stomachs just to think about. We are no strangers to human trafficking. It’s occurring all over the world and is a difficult issue to deal with and openly talk about. Recently there has been talk about whether they should decriminalize prostitution so they can help the ones that are being forced into it.
What does this mean you might ask, is that they want legalize prostitution so they might lessen the amount of people being trafficked.
I am having some trouble understanding this one. People pay big money for prostitutes so why not just stop paying for sex all together and therefore you will kill the demand for it.
Some quick facts about Human Trafficking
- Nearly half of the children being trafficked are from America, the rest from other parts of the world.
- Boys often end up in it at a younger age then girls usually starting around 11-12 whereas girls are forced around 13-14
- Many states criminalize these youths instead of the person pimping them or trying to have sex with them.
- The internet is a prime way for these predators to get there victims.
- Third largest money maker in the world and growing
- Many youths are runaways who were trying to get out of an abusive situation
- Some of these youths are even runaways from abusive foster care homes
Why is it in every scenario the children are suffering? It’s either on the streets or in their own home. Why are the children not protected? Why is there not more people fighting. Shouldn’t our children be top priority? Yet they argue about how to end trafficking. They most likely know where all the trafficking rings are, yet they don’t stop them.
Chances are likely they are involved in it themselves. If it’s one thing I have learned so far in life is that the wealthy hold the cards. They could end most suffering just by donating a few million dollars, do they? No.
They are to busy sneaking around with human traffickers, busy buying drugs and sex. Why? Because they can. “Democrat mega donor and billionaire Jeffrey Epstein was tied by Palm Beach Police to as many as 40 underaged girls and allegedly provided minor girls to Prince Andrew and lawyer Alan Dershowitz, among others.” Here is your proof. “Roberts said Epstein trafficked children to politicians, Wall Streeters and A- listers to curry favor, to advance his business, and for political influence.”

These people are sick and because they have money, they are getting away with it. Why? Because most people don’t know how they can fight it, they don’t know how to help. How do you stop wealthy “elitist”.
