Human trafficking  or otherwise called child prostitution is an American problem most people don’t even know exist. Most people think this only happens in other countries when in fact early statistics show more than 400,000 child prostitutes are in the U.S. alone, over 800,000 in the world.

According to the FBI the money in child prostitution is much higher than adult prostitution and this problem is getting worse.

The FBI also says that pimps are advertising more on social networking sites such as Facebook, Twitter and My Space, to attract and recruit the children.

The average age for a child prostitute in the United States is 12 years old and anywhere between the ages of 11 to 17.    I remember reading about one girl that was rescued in an FBI raid that was only 9 years old.

Many people can’t believe that human trafficking is such a huge problem in the United States. Thousands of children are bought and sold for sex every day across America.

Some of these children are taken to truck stops and made to do thirty sex acts per day and if they try to escape their pimps beat them so badly that they don’t try to leave a second time for fear of getting beaten to death.

Every now and then, the public will hear about human trafficking in the United States, when in fact if the news media reported child prostitution every time it happened, there wouldn’t be any time left to tell other stories.

The internet is vastly being used for child prostitution! The pimps have taken it off of the streets where it can be seen and have now hidden it on the internet.

Statistics will only grow exponentially unless we’re proactive and protect our children and teens against this terrible crime.
