Children suffer traumatic pain every time they are trafficked—or raped. For many of these victims, the sexual abuse started at a very young age when the boys or girls were molested by someone they knew. Just as a ruptured appendix releases toxic poisons, sexual abuse releases acidic emotions. But if children are rescued out of sexual slavery, many will begin to heal and learn how to respond appropriately to healthy compassion.
FACT: There are 100,000 teens trafficked in the USA between the ages of nine and nineteen (FBI).
