The average victim of sex trafficking is a female child between the ages of eight and eighteen. Tragically most of those victims will die within seven years of first being trafficked. But is that really a problem for us in America? Alisa Jordheim, founding director of Justice Society, offers a resounding and disturbing, "Yes!"
Sex trafficking is only slightly behind the drug problem in the U.S. and is growing at the rate of $9.5 billion annually. There are 293,000 American children currently at risk of becoming victims of commercial sexual exploitation and 100,000 are exploited through ography or prostitution every year. Children who are the most vulnerable are runaways, homeless, in poverty, have limited education, a history of sexual abuse or have a family member involved in the sex trade. But others are not as easy to identify.
What can you personally do about it?
Join Maxine and Jeannie today as Alisa Jordheim, author Made in the USA the Sex Trafficking of America’s Children Outlines the tragedy and offers solutions for preventing abuse in the children you know and love.
