children trafficking is a serious problem we have all over the world.
from cambodia to your own hometown, children are being sexually exploited.
Little boys and girls, ranging from as young as 3 years old are being sold for sexual purposes. Instead of being nurtured in a safe environment, they are being handed down from one despicable shameless man to another.
Beyond Law & Order, I did not know how major this problem is. But when I went to a fundraiser, I realized that the episodes I've been watching are not at all far from the truth. I heard reality through the words of a little girl and her unforgettable memories...being forced to go to a brothel, being scolded to clean her blood from her rapist, being scared because a gun was pointed to her head, being yelled at for taking too long with a 'customer.' you can't help but cry when listening to her speak and you can't help but get infuriated with disgust because these inhumane actions are actually real.
Redlight children is a nonprofit organization trying to combat this problem. they created the movie 'Holly' to show you an example of how malicious children trafficking is. 2 documentaries,including the one with the little girl talking about her experience, will shortly be available for you to see.
i'm not really sure how we can help since rehabilitations are not as effective as we can hope because it is hard for a child to undo what they have learned their entire life. But I do know that we can pass along the knowledge and together figure out a way to keep the redlight on traffic.
