Child Trafficking

It’s been said during the Civil War as many as 750,000 white men gave their lives in large part to end slavery. That’s the equivalent to the population of Seattle, Denver, or Nashville.

Ancient Egypt, Greece, Africa, all throughout Europe practiced slavery. Still do. Brazil imported a larger number of African slaves than America.

There’s a form of “slavery” that continues today that bothers me the most, child trafficking.

Why do we seemingly ignore over three million kids, children who are used as slaves around the world as we sit everyday enjoying our morning coffee? And that number is likely much higher because how do you accurately count?

Place yourself in the mind of a child who is ensconced in some hovel, or a home, being exploited for sex and/or making a pair of Nikes. We can’t even imagine the horror and hell so many young people are living through at this very moment. No parents, no school, no freedom, no life. How many just die off or wish they were dead?

I saw a recent story about an Iraqi ISIS couple who had been sentenced to prison in Germany. They bought a five-year-old and 12-year-old-girl who they held captive and repeatedly raped and tortured for years. They made the purchase at a slave market in Mosul! We still have slave markets!

And it’s not just kids.

I have a nephew who recently visited Monaco with his girlfriend. They had ordered two cocktails at a bar. His girlfriend accidently tipped over her drink, so my nephew drank hers. He was roofied. Nearly took him down. I going to assume both drinks were tampered with. Had they drank both, they could have entered the European slave trade.

Closer to home, a female relative left a bar in the Funk Zone with her girlfriend. The street they were on was devoid of people. They heard footsteps and looked back. Two men were following. They started running and the men took up chase. They ducked into a small business establishment. When they looked outside a car had pulled up and picked up the would-be kidnappers. What do you think the plan was for two young girls? This was in Santa Barbara!

When the Biden regime opened America’s southern border the obvious was staring in our faces. And yet Democrats and media kept deflecting and trying to make us look the other way. We need to be compassionate for the poor who are looking for a better life. Bull crap!

We witnessed how the cartels ran an organized, aided and abetted trafficking operation with the help of our own democrats and leftists who ignored the massive exploitation they were allowing to happen. Always pointing to the poor children being separated from their families. You bet they were. By the cartels.

Nearly half a million kids entered the United States under Biden’s watch. Over 300,000 just flat out disappeared. Since them Trump’s efforts have found about 145,000 of those unaccompanied minors. Again, all these numbers are fluid. No one really knows. What we do know, under the failings of the Biden’s administration, is hundreds of thousands of kids are likely still living in hell and/or dead already. Or have traded hands. Was that compassion?

We also know the new wave of socialists trying to undermine America, want to go back to the very same Biden practice by opening the border again. I can imagine the cartel’s sitting with lawn chairs on the border ready to line their billionaire pockets even more.

I just finished reading a trilogy of books (fiction) whose main character lost a daughter to child trafficking. He teamed up with a guy who invented a computer program able to utilize all the cameras around the world; CCTV, cell phones, satellite images, home security systems and stitch them together. Creating a digital time machine to the past. He then used those images to track down child traffickers to bring them to justice. Far-fetched? Maybe not.

The protagonist gives the parents the option to deliver justice on their own terms. Some choose to impose the ultimate sentence. Others don’t have it in them and turn it over to law enforcement.

What would you do if your child had been enslaved, sexually abused, turned into a drug addict and ultimately killed? Would you have the strength, the guts, the courage to impose the death penalty yourself? Knowing there is a good possibility the person(s) responsible in today’s crazy support the criminal climate that the scum bag(s) could walk or get a light sentence.

Governor Walz of Minnesota is the latest glaring example of protect the criminals run amok. He pardoned an illegal from Laos even after the guy admitted he sexually assaulted a ten-year-old for years. Walz could have been vice president.

Growing up, milk cartons displayed the faces of missing kids. I remember as a young boy eating my cereal and absently studying the faces wondering where they were. Today there aren’t enough milk cartons for all the children lost to the ether.

If you figure maybe 20 million illegals were allowed to flow into the United States, even at 1% there could be as many as 200,000 cartel members, gang bangers, Chinese spies, Iranian terrorists and human traffickers in America. We’re all not stupid and did not succumb to CNN’s propaganda. We saw with our own eyes how the migrants over time transitioned from families to young men. We have no idea who they were or where they are. We do know many have taken up the hobby of rape, murder, drug dealing and human trafficking.

Slave labor, prostituting children by these pieces of garbage is a hidden crime.

Searching for stats, even ChatGPT gets flustered. The United States blends forced child labor with human trafficking and can’t, won’t separate them. The last real numbers were in 2023 when over 2,000 child traffickers were “referred” to various U.S. Attorneys. Only about half were charged.

In 2026, you would think we could do much better than that.
