This may have been discussed here already, but I have not seen it. Last year (Jan. Feb. 2016) in certain European newspapers horrible messages emerged. Interpol as well as Europol (international/intereuropean police unit) rang alarming bells about approx. 10.000 children who went missing from the refugee-crisis in 2015. I do not know, what came out of that investigation. Interpol was rather direct with their assumption of having to deal with kind of child-trafficing here. Report in the Guardian Jan30/2016 (https://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/jan/30/fears-for-missing-child-refugees))
One point catched my eyes - there is a great number of missing children in Sweden (1000). I do not want to draw undue conclusions, which might be wrong at all, but I searched for "Clinton foundation Sweden" and found an article which includes a wikileaks eMail regarding the Sweden-connection. One of the main donors to Clinton is the swedish lottery. Article about Clinton Foundation and Sweden. (http://theindicter.com/swedens-business-with-clinton-foundation-in-a-geopolitical-context/))
This lottery is a major donor for many children-aid-projects worldwide. Annual report of donations to organisations from swedish lottery E.g. they support "Insamlingsstiftelsen 100%
Give orphaned children affected by war a safe upbringing". Maybe, and I hope dearly that is all good and well. In that case: great, swedish lottery!
I am not a native speaker in english and do not speak a single word swedish. I am not very well informed about US-political institutions and here I am more or less just a lurker, but wanted to share this, because it came to my mind and that I have not heard anything else from these missing children in Europe from last year. Nothing. Nada. Niente. This makes me sad. As you can read in the reports I linked, UK is as well mentioned, and Italy. But I think it happened in most of the target-countries of those poor children. Awful.
If that has been discussed already - sorry and please delete my post.

Those numbers are astounding. The sad thing is that I'm not shocked.

Refugee children are at the highest risk of being trafficked and abused

PS: I checked that Insamlingsstiftelsen website, but only superficially and only the graphics. I could not find anything questionable. It looks as if it is a good and helpful project.
