Just this spring.....and nearbyOk, I am going to sound really naive here, and I probably don't want to know the answer to this question, but....
Has anyone EVER seen evidence that this "human trafficking" really happens? I know it gets speculated on in every case. But has it ever been proven? Who buys kids?! How would this black market operate? How would the people who want to buy kids ever hook up with the people who want to sell kids? Where do they house them? How has no kid ever escaped and told the story of how he/she was sold into some child slave/sex ring?
It just seems like something that gets brought up because it is our worst fear. But I don't think I've ever seen proof that something like this really exists.
