Yahoo News Article On Child Trafficking


Here is an interesting story from Yahoo! about the increasing child trafficking and slavery in America. There are so many facets of the child trafficking and slavery problem, and here Yahoo addresses children trafficked into the U.S. to be "unpaid maids" (read slaves) for wealthy foreigners who are used to having child slaves in their households.

Thankfully here in the U.S. there are more and more arrests and more crackdown - but in other parts of the world it's accepted as normal life. The picture above is of the girl who is featured in the article.

That was an interesting article. It's sad how she could live in that garage for so long without anyone really asking questions. Our neighborhoods are made up of people who don't want to get involved in each other's lives

That's definitely true. We don't want to impose ourselves on our neighbors, so we have no idea what's going on with them.
