Those "statistics" are bogus and were proven to be BS many times, they are always propped up by those having financial interest in fighting against child trafficking. 2. Most of the so-called "children" are over 14, which are not really children, they are just children by law, but really almost adults by nature. Where I grew up 14 year-olds were having sex all the time, I don't see a big deal here. 3. I'm sure a lot of those "sex trafficking victims" are really doing it voluntarily, it's just when they get caught and questioned by the police, they go with the suggested narrative of being a victim, out of shame, guilt, being vulnerable in front of the cop, family, teachers, etc. It's basic logic. Everybody would say the same thing if they were caught in such a situation. 4. This whole "child trafficking" obsession only leads to paranoia and allows the government more power for control and stigmatizes every man as a potential sexual predator. It's just paranoia, moral panic, nothing else. Most people never saw a sex predator outside of television in their lifetime. It's just boogeyman for the masses. I could write some more but I don't care enough to be bothered... [/quote] I get what you are saying and I partially agree with you. Still not an excuse not to adopt a kid or two out of the system. I adopted my kids at the age of 2 and 5. There are many to choose from. [/quote] Don't take it personally, but most people here are a little crazy (including myself) It's better to leave the kids to "normal" people All I could offer a child is misery Fcked-up people shouldn't have kids or they will bring more crazies into this world Unfortunately a lot of them do out of selfishness and they bring more unnecessary suffering to this world The way I help children by not having any. I feel like I do my part. How about that? [/quote] Um, like the people that rise to positions in poly-ticks because the good people are too 'nice' to run? It is a feeble excuse. Look at 1/10th of my stories on here and you'll see I'm a bit NuTz according to the 'daily mail' standard. But my children are awesome because...they were raised with joy and a touch of magick. Oh, and awesome food. [/quote] OK, good for you, I don't know you so I won't judge your choices, if it works for you then great I know myself though and I don't see anything positive I could give to a child, only my depression and poverty, screw that, I'd rather die alone and let my genetic line die with me than continue the misery out of selfish ambitions of having a kid [/quote] You know yourself better than I know you but perhaps focusing on making someone else happy (like a child in need) instead of yourself would actually help you.

I read so many people being so upset about child trafficking. Yet most of these people do nothing about it. Absolutely nothing. You may ask yourself... What can I do about it? Well I will give you the answer.
The FBI estimates sex trafficking in the U.S. involves 100,000 children,
60% of child sex trafficking victims recovered through FBI raids across the U.S. in 2013 were from foster care or group homes.
So what you can do is adopt a child out of the foster care system. When I've mentioned this people say... I can't afford to adopt a child. This is a lie. Those people haven't even looked up how much it costs to adopt a child out of the foster care system.
In Texas if you adopt a child that is a minority over 2 or over 5 yrs old white or a member of a sibling group it is free to adopt if you use an attorney provided. You also get a monthly stipend of $400 per child and the child gets free medical care and free college tuition to a state university.
I'm assuming that other states have similar incentives. I will be looking it up and posting the results here. I would appreciate anyone that already knows the incentives in their state to post them here.
So put your money where your mouth is and adopt a kid out of the foster care system if you really give a shit about kids.
