More than two million children worldwide are subject to sex trafficking. This number equates to almost 300,000 in the United States alone. Unfortunately, according to the Global Slavery Index, the number of victims who have been rescued is less than 2%. Thankfully, Saved In America alone has assisted in the recovery of more than 260 children nationwide. The facts about human trafficking in America are unfortunately immensely sad and scary for modern families. 

Human Trafficking is a Booming Industry

The human trafficking industry that is made up of prison gangs, street gangs, and drug cartels is a booming industry within America’s borders. It has sadly victimized many children and has ruined many lives. Thankfully, Saved In America has committed its efforts to assisting in the recovery of kids from the horrors of this industry and returning them to their support system, all while getting them the help they need to recover to live a healthy life. 

How Parents Can Fight Back 

Being involved and having open communication with your kids is the best way to protect them from the horrors of this industry. The way these predators work is to infiltrate these kids’ lives and gain their trust through the process known as grooming. This process slowly makes them trust the predator more than their families and healthy support systems. They are given gifts, treated wonderfully, and then lured away from their support. Once these kids are out on the streets away from their families, they are a prime target for these criminals, and they become easy prey for the industry. 

Saved In America is on the Job

Thankfully, Saved In America is committed to finding these kids and restoring them to their families. In many cases, kids can be found before they are sold into the industry. In other cases, they are recovered after the fact. In both cases, these kids are given the care they need after the rescue to recover and once again live healthily lives. Saved In America does not charge families for their services, even though the organization utilizes the professional skills of many highly trained individuals who are all licensed and insured private investigators. Thankfully, they have a great track record when it comes to finding kids and returning them to their families, and getting them the help they need to live a healthy life.  #ChildSavedNotSold
