It is truly every where!!! We all need to be aware of the signs. I was at the beach in Florida and two men were with a little girl she did not seem to be having a good time she had no emotion on her face. They let her play unattended, and I told one of them she needed to be supervised as she was too little to be in the rough water. The whole thing was very odd as they had absolutely no concern fir the child's safety, and she almost drowned. Even then they did not get her she just sat at the edge of the water breathing trying to catch her breath. When I left, the man tried to take the child that was with me by offering her an ice cream cone. While I was packing the car up. He literally was trying to take her by the hand! It was blatantly done. The traffickers are dangerous always keep awareness around them. I never thought of them as traffickers until I became aware of this investigation. Had I known then what I know today I might have been able to alert someone...who knows? Were you able to alert the authorities?

As of right now, I don't trust the authorities. The fair itself displays the logo. So unfortunately no, I did not report.

What I am looking forward to, however, is legitimately being about to report it AND have something done about it.

However, we (society) cannot rescue kids because we simply do not have a safe place to put them RIGHT NOW. Child protective services, in its current state, cannot be used. We need to establish safe places to put these rescued children.

Our infrastructure needs to be ready to receive both victims and perps if anything is done on a mass scale. Medical care will be needed. Housing.

The type of resources that philanthropic billionaires are providing for refugees overseas.

The same resources that illegal immigrants, refugees etc use in this nation paid for with citizen tax dollars.

It makes my blood boil. Raising awareness is the first step but as you so well describe so many other steps are necessary. There are so many resources to everyone else except the ones who most deserve it children who are victimized. What a tragedy.

Yes, but raising awareness is such a SLOW process. Sometimes I just wish some talented hacker would hack Taylor Swift's (or any celeb with a huge following) twitter account and post that Ben Swann video saying PG is real.

If I knew how I would do it...it would be a dream come true!
