I'm trying to figure out the human trafficking angle. I just don't get it. Loan was at his grandmother's place with his father and other relatives. He is a child that would be reported missing. People who would fight to find him were there. He doesn't fit the profile of a human trafficking victim.
Young human trafficking victims are usually:
- impoverished
- have guardians with addiction issues
- unsupervised/low supervision
Why would you snatch Loan when you've got the
barrios to choose from?
Personally, I believe there was either an accident, or the adults at the orchard abused and disposed of him. Mentions of human trafficking make headlines and get clicks, of course the media will grab onto that. People love salacious stories.
