Child Sex-Trafficking Is More Common In The US Than People Realize

Child Sex-Trafficking Is More Common In The US Than People Realize, Activist Says. Here’s What You Should Know
Excerpt: President Donald Trump has “unequivocally” done more to help end sex-trafficking in the United States than any other president, Booyens said. ... The largest rising trend, Booyens said, is family members trafficking their own children. He described an anonymous 13-year-old American girl who was rescued from sex-trafficking while living at home, where her father was allegedly trafficking her. The school principal and community members, he said, were frequent customers. “She would see between 10 and 15 customers a day,” Booyens said. “Her father had convinced her this was how she was going to pay for college.” “You may say, ‘This is ridiculous,'” he added. “But it is not. A child is desperate for attention. A child takes guidance.”
