In reply to the discussion: My understanding about the whole child sex trafficking thing. Correct me if I'm wrong. [View all]Scrivener7
(59,806 posts)14. The good thing about this thread: there was a contingent on DU a while back
that argued strenuously that sex trafficking was a myth. Which was disturbing to see here. I'm glad that group seems to have faded away.
It's disturbing that most sources agree that it is increasing, though no one knows by how much or what the actual numbers are, though I don't know how you'd get an accurate count.
I think the important thing is not to fall into the trap of dismissing. Q has made it such a satanic panic story that it would be easy to do that. But with satanic panic, there was very little evidence of satanic groups at work (except in my neighborhood, of course, no kidding). In this case, we know children ARE being trafficked, have always been trafficked and the trafficking numbers are increasing.

I must respectfully disagree based on data. Certainly your '1' and '2' above are quite true, BUT

The vast majority of those kids are with someone they know when they "go missing."
