Separating Fact From Fiction: Recent Cases of Recovered Missing Children and What They Show About Child Sex Trafficking | Polaris

This short article from the Polaris Project just showed up in my Facebook newsfeed, and I thought it would be a good one to share. I haven't heard of the myths that the article mentions, but I suppose that's a good thing; hearing the facts from the experts before I hear the myths from anyone else makes life easier. Distinguishing the reality from the myths of trafficking (or anything) is vital, as it changes the way we approach these problems.

What are your thoughts on this?

May God bring all these children to peace & safety:prayer:

The two bullet points ring true to my experience. As a former therapist to sex traffic victims, a large challenge was to keep many of them from running back to their pimps or victimizers. Without exception, they were victims of previous abuse, neglect, or trauma who were looking for someone to love and care for them. And they thought they found it in the person who was exploiting them.
