Locating Human Trafficking Resources CA

By Donna Phillips


When it come to child slavery, most are born into, abducted or sold into the system. While unbelievable, there are also individuals and couples which are being paid to have children solely for the purpose of being sold child slavery networks. As such, it is up to those working within these human trafficking resources CA and other locations to rescue and provide counseling and other services to those involved.

Most children involved in child trafficking and the slave trade are under the age of 15. In fact, the average age of a child slave is that of 13. Although, there are many who claim to have been involved since before being able to walk. Current statistics show that more than 20K children under the age of 18 are involved whether involuntarily or voluntarily in the sex trade and child slave industry.

These local and national organizations play a vital role whether working to save these individuals, or to provide counseling once a slave has found freedom from a master. For, many of these children have never known love or family as were either taken at birth, or at a very young age. In fact, the Dr. Phil and other television talk shows have recently highlighted young women who had been born into the trade.

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.

The issue of suicide is one of the main reasons organizations providing counseling to those whom have escaped have been created. One such organization was created by a woman who grew up in the slave trade and finally after much hard work, found her freedom. Most often, anyone who finds a way to escape must also find a new identity and much akin to the witness protection program build a new and different life.

While some have been able to escape, most do not have the capability to do so. In fact, some slaveholders will send a test person in to try and get the girls to escape. After which, if a girl attempts to do so, the child is often beaten in response as a form of punishment. As a result, most often the child becomes disconnected, hardened, angry and isolated, thus trusting no one.

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.
