    In the book, Human Trafficking Interdisciplinary Perspective McCabe cited, “The US State Department’s Trafficking Protection Act (2000) further identifies severe forms of human trafficking as: (1) sex trafficking in which a commercial sex act is induced by force, fraud, or coercion or in which the person induced to perform such an act has not attained 18 years of age…” (p. 134).

    This includes violence, threats, lies, debt bondage, and other forms of coercion to compel adults and children to engage in commercial sex acts against their will. It seems as people in this practice become romantically involved with each other with later the trafficker forcing them into prostitution. This is very frustrating to me because, as a female, how can you ever know which male is a trafficker or not? If a male is covering it up and earning your trust, you will never have a clue that he has the intentions of forcing you into prostitution. This is scary in any situation for females because this can happen anywhere, any place, or any…

    The DOJ issued a warning stating that: “Among children and teens living on the streets in the United States, involvement in commercial sex activity is a problem of epidemic proportion” and claiming that “Child sexual exploitation is the most hidden form of child abuse in the U.S. today.” Yet, it is an epidemic that has gone largely overlooked and untreated.

The most common estimate mentioned by the DOJ and child protection agencies puts the number at around 300,000-but believe it to be closer to 800,000.…
