Maybe those people are still interested in stopping human trafficking but want professional organizations with experience and knowledge to do it.

That's the slave mindset —always looking for government to solve their problems.

So how many actual physical human beings have you saved then? Because that's what I'm talking about.

Not on the internet by spreading awareness, but real people. Until I see "EngelbertHumperdink saves a child from human trafficking in ____" I'll consider your contribution ancillary to people who actually do the heavy lifting.

No, I get it. But my point is that we can't just sit back and rely on 'the professionals' when the problem is this huge.

Respectfully, I don't think you get it.

Regardless of what you think you're doing right now in preventing human trafficking, until you physically rescue someone from a pimp or a sex ring, you ARE sitting back and relying on 'the professionals'. They are the ones that are actually doing the work and that's what most people recognize. They realize that most of what people do on here is virtue signaling vs organizations that put their morals into practice in the real world through action.

It's funny you mention that. My father once rescued a girl from human trafficking. Literally carried her out of a crack house to (at least temporary) safety. And he was definitely not law enforcement.

That's incredible! Is he involved in pizzagate?

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic, but no. He died like 20 years ago.
