Maybe you really don't want to know that millions of women worldwide are bought and sold as sex slaves or that tens of thousands of those women pass through our borders and are held against their will in our US cities.
If you don't want to know, keep hiding your head in the sand and don't find out the facts for yourself. I'm not that girl. I want to know the facts.
I want to know why an American man would pay for sex with a foreign woman who doesn't speak his language, and quite possibly naive enough, or stupid enough, to not realize the truth, or guesses the truth but is callous enough to not care that the woman he is paying for sex with is being used as a hostage, a slave ... when there are plenty of sex workers in our country who are more than willing to have sex with them.
So, even if you don't want to know about the women, at least check out the statistics on missing children in our country ... and ask yourself where they end up and whose slave they end up as.

US Dept of State Human Trafficking report 2007
Human Trafficking (TV Movie 2005)
Report Human Trafficking Crimes and Get Victim Assistance:
You can report trafficking crimes and get help by calling the Department of Justice Trafficking in Persons and Worker Exploitation Task Force Complaint Line at 1-888-428-7581 (voice and TTY). New laws provide options for trafficking victims regardless of immigration status. Operators have access to interpreters and can talk with callers in their own language. The service is offered on weekdays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. EST. After hours, information is available on tape in English, Spanish, Russian, and Mandarin.
Learn to protect yourself and your teenage children by explaining to them what human trafficking is (because not just girls are victims)
A first step is to recognize the tools of the Human Trafficker's trade. They love to use classified ads. Do not answer classified ads that promise higher than normal wages or promise perks that are too good to be true and warn your children against such offers.
