Presentation/Discussion of Human Trafficking

Although most Americans think that this is happening on other continents, with the news media covering more and more cases, we are seeing that human trafficking is happening right here as well as globally.

Please feel free to open discussion topics about specific cases, news reports, organizations that are combating and what we can do to stop it.

With so many, many missing persons, whether children, teen or adults, this could be one more avenue to finding more loved ones.

Today's local Waterbury, CT paper had another article about a HUMAN TRAFFICKING ring in MEXICO I haven't read the whole article yet but Jan might be able to get it to you for information and publication. Media coverage is very very important the problem is REAL, growing and EVIL

There are mORE missing all over as we speak type and read! There are also more training and web sites regarding Human Trafficking  contact the Homeland security group and government offices they should be able to get you more information. It is more than deplorable  worse than disgusting... many businessmen go to foreign countries and pay for their human "escorts and playthings" over there many times they are young girls 10 years old, 11, 12, 13, 14... and many times they are young boys also same ages...they are used, abused, manipulated deceived and degraded... ashamedly bu things we call human.. It IS happening right here too YES right HERE in the U.S.A. as a standard way of..BUSINESS, it's revolting!

The Human Trafficking problem is NOT going away people, I just read an article and got a response from someone who was TRAFFICKED INTO THIS COUNTRY!  It unnerves and upsets me greatly! Another direct relation, link with Missing persons, unsolved cases, domestic violence. Some times trafficked people are intimidated and threatened and manipulated with fear and cunning to get them to give in, for fear for their families, loved ones, children even pets! YES THIS IS PURE EVIL YES! Lincoln faught with many people to free the slaves! Now it's coming back! Young girls and boys coerced and manipulated, age is a factor for amny reasons, some of them more deepreved than others. Humanity Must take a stand against this It must! Do not ignore this! Some missing persons situations can be directly related or indirectly - say someone accidently discovers evil, trafficking, drugs, etc and will definitely give it up- well....we can all imagine what can happpen... Say someoone is trying to resist, fight back  get away.. well imagination doesn't have to work hard...Reality can sometimes be quite unpleasant we are the only hope

I have not been on here doing my part as the administrator of the Human Trafficking group. I have no excuse, but I will try to post as much human trafficking information and as many human trafficking articles as possible!! Thank you for your patience and please know that every time someone talks about human trafficking to someone else that has not heard about it, or does not know about it in the capacity that it has become - being the number 3 money making illegal activity in the world - the 3 being DRUGS, GUNS & HUMAN TRAFFICKING (or HUMAN TRADE, also known as PEOPLE . . . as our loved ones).

DRUGS can only be sold once.
GUNS can be sold several times.
PEOPLE are sold over & over again.

I plan on starting an organization called M.A.T.H. (Mother's Against Trafficking Humans)
Do the M.A.T.H.!
2.5 million people are trafficked yearly around the world*
PLUS a global annual market of about $42.5 billion**
EQUALS who is getting rich?
*The United Nations estimates 2.5 million people from 127 different countries are being trafficked around the world annually.
**The Council of Europe states there is a global annual market of about $42.5 billion.

I don't quite know what to do, but I plan on learning. To date I have got a lot of support, including 2 Canadian MPs (Members of Parliament), MP Joy Smith and MP Cathy McLeod, police chief Armand LaBarge of the ????, Ontario police department, authors who are also professionals in other areas: Professor Benjamin Perrin, who is not just an author and an assistant professor of law, he is also one of Canada's leading human trafficking experts. He wrote a book on human trafficking in Canada and included Jessie's case. And Forensic Artist Diana Trepkov who did several age progression drawings on Jessie and what she would look like after 4 years of being a trafficked victim. She has also written a book and included Jessie's case in it.

So, I am going to say good-bye for now, but I will be back with more info on Human Trafficking and Jessie Foster's disappearance.

In Toronto, Canada this weekend Jessie Foster (missing from Las Vegas/human trafficking victim) is having a human trafficking award named after her!

And, posted on Glendene's Facebook:

"OK, this is getting big. MP Joy Smith (Kildonan - St. Paul, Manitoba) http://www.joysmith.ca/ has invited me to her committee meeting to speak about Jessie & human trafficking (all expenses paid) to endorse C-268 - Child Trafficking Bill. A law she wrote & is trying to pass to ensure Mandatory Minimum Sentences for human traffickers."

Glendene...through all the hell you are making a huge difference in this world!
