  1. We’ve got a lot of people here at IOTWReport.com who have above average intelligence, more than a little extra time, and who know how to use the internet (among other talents).

    How hard do you think it would be for us to share tips about how to find traffickers? I’m serious, here.

    I mean, we’ve all read about the busts, right? Some multi-agency task forces — usually comprised of a couple dozen people each — take months if not years and end up with maybe a couple of actual convictions. And the hardest part to take is that they made those busts after someone outside of law enforcement gave them a tip, which means they didn’t find the perps on their own to begin with. And yet most of perps left a trail a mile wide on social media platforms.

    After that recent story here about the high-priced pizza picture downloads at Etsy, I went out to Etsy and tried searching for more high priced pizza downloads. I couldn’t find any and figured whoever was posting them had moved on from that platform, etc.

    I’m thinking of contacting our local law enforcement who work to find these traffickers and to ask them what I, a regular person, can do to make it harder for them to traffic children.

    Give this some thought. What do you think would happen if us average Joe’s and Jill’s were hyper aware of the problem?

    More later.

  2. Jethro — There are at least two organizations besides the State Department who help educate and inform the general public about the part(s) they can play in identifying and reporting suspected traffickers and those who are being trafficked. It’s a lot easier, say, if you are a steward/ess on an airplane and you notice a young girl who seems withdrawn, possible evidence of physical abuse, etc. But what can we do in our everyday travels to stores and so on if we come across a sketchy situation that raises our antennae? Apparently there are things we can do without becoming closely involved with the potential perps.

    It could be happening in our own neighborhoods. I just read a story about a big bust down in Texas in an exclusive enclave. The trafficking involved some fairly high-end “clients”.

    Anyways…it’s always easier to do nothing than to do something, right? I think just being more aware of the enormity of the problem is a step in the right direction, and there is probably just a little bit more effort needed to create a culture of people who have that awareness. We are suffering from “cause” fatigue, but I can’t think of anything that deserves a more concerted effort than, especially, child sex trafficking. It was horrifying enough when it was happening on the other side of the planet, but the truth is the United States of America has a real problem and we need to step up, I think.
