Are there really victims of child trafficking in Southern Indiana?
Child trafficking exists in every community in America, even in Southern Indiana. At this very moment, parents are letting men use their children for sex in order to obtain money or drugs. These victims of child trafficking are desperately waiting for someone to rescue and care for them. As many as 2.8 million children live on the streets, a third of whom are lured into prostitution within 48 hours of leaving home. 1 in 8 youth under the age of 18 will leave home and become homeless in need of services. That means there are children in our community right now who’ve run away and are being lured into sexual exploitation. The FBI has determined that the average age for females entering prostitution in the US is 13 and for boys the age is 11.
