Understanding Human Trafficking Resources CA

By Donna Phillips


When it comes to the state of California, the state has one of the largest number of missing persons in the United States. Sadly, many of these individuals are kidnapped and sold into human trafficking. As such, the state also hosts some of the best human trafficking resources CA for those whom can escape and regain freedom.

For, most often those working in the human trafficking industry are under the age of 18. In fact, there are more than 20,000 children which are currently working as labor and sex slaves in the United States. Most often, even if caught, it is only the masters who see justice and not the individuals or couples who have sold children into the trade. Until this changes, there can be no change for as long as children are provided, the problem will continue.

The life expectancy of those involved in the trade is very short. In fact, most often girls having been born into the trade only live to be somewhere between seven to fourteen years old. Most often, this is because once a young person becomes aware of what is going on, the slave master either kills, or has that person killed to avoid an escape or being discovered and brought to justice.

In almost all cases, these young women were born to mothers or couples who had been paid to give birth to a child only to relinquish the child to someone involved in the child sex trade. Whether to star in pornographic pictures and film, or sold for sex, most of these individuals were exposed to assault, rape, starvation, torture, false imprisonment and emotional and physical abuse on a daily basis.

One organization that of the FACESS or Freeing American Children from Exploitation and Sexual Slavery is based in California its trying to help. Whereas, there are also local organization in the State whom are working to counsel those who have broken free from these bonds. In one case, there is an escapee who has become a therapist offering assistance to others who have found a way to freedom.

As such, counseling is often a prerequisite for prevention of ongoing mental and physical illness as well as suicide. For, once having lived through such horrific conditions, especially at such a young and tender age, it can often be impossible to forget the horrors that has been placed upon oneself and others.

For, as the children are either abducted or adopted into the slave trade at a very early age, there is little else the child knows about love and family. In many cases, the slave master is the only family one knows. In addition, the person is the only one providing food, gifts, love or taking the child on a number of costly adventures.

Most often, these girls are kidnapped or born into the system at as an early age as possible. For example, some may very well be as young as 2 to 3 years old while others may be submitted at birth. In some instances, the children are taught that the slave master is actually a biological father whether or not that might be the case. Thus, one more reason a child may never try to escape the system without the help of an outside force.
