Every 26 Seconds

 

As a problem thought of mostly as one from bygone times, the presence of slavery in modern society is surprising to most. However, according to stats ascertained by Saved In America, today, more people are suffering in slavery bondage than at any other time in history. This means now, not decades or centuries ago, more people are experiencing this humiliating and degrading experience than ever before. Today, children are enslaved and often involves labor and sex trafficking and/or prostitution. 

What The Numbers Say

According to stats, sex trafficking is the new form of slavery in America. In fact, it is the most common form of modern day slavery, globally. Some 1.2 million children are trafficked each year. This number represents a billion dollar industry. In fact, the problem is so prevalent that there is a child trafficked every 26 seconds worldwide. The same triad that once was the basis of the narcotic explosion in America is now trafficking children for profit in much the same way they sell drugs. The perpetrators include pimps, prison gangs and street gangs, an evil triad set to victimize the most innocent members of society.

What Can be Done to Protect The Most Vulnerable Among Us?

These predators who are now targeting and trafficking children for profit are the modern-day version of the wretched slave trade we faced in history. It is our mission at Saved In America to find these innocent victims and restore their lives to them, allowing children to be saved not sold. It is an uphill battle but one we are happy to fight. 

How We Recover Children

At Saved In America, we work alongside families and law enforcement, through our highly-qualified force of volunteers made up of former Navy SEALs, law enforcement professionals and more, to search for the victims of these crimes, many of whom are runaways who are approached by traffickers in the first 48 hours. After locating them, we work closely with law enforcement to try to ensure prosecution takes place. Our goal is to recover as many children as possible while simultaneously putting the bad guys behind bars where they can no longer victimize innocent children in such a detestable manner. #ChildSavedNotSold
