Duke University Official Accused of Trying to Sell 5 Year Old Adopted son into child sex trafficking

http://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2280165/posts

Hi Everyone,

I wanted to let you all know about the recent arrest of a Duke University official accused of trying to sell his 5 year old adopted son. Obviously, it is appalling on many levels and goes to show that human trafficking occurs at all levels and does not discriminate between race, class, gender etc. I hope that after you read this article, you become just as enraged as me and decide you want to do something in your local community to take action in some way to STOP child sex trafficking.

Forced Labor Operation Busted in VA

I am hoping that justice will be served and set a precedence for other trafficking cases to be prosecuted in both VA and around the nation. This case reminds us all that trafficking is not far from our homes and we all need to be vigilant.

If you suspect something in your neighborhood or community, please call the National Human Trafficking Resource Center at 1-888-3737-888 . It only takes one call and may change the course of someone's life. To find out ways to recognize victims, please visit

Child Trafficking

Hi Everyone,

I decided to finally go ahead and start a blog to raise awareness on human trafficking both domestically and internationally. I am new to this blogging thing, but I thought it was a good idea to get my thoughts out. For my first post, I wanted to share an article I read on child porn in the US. Obviously, the situation is disturbing on many levels. My main goal in writing this blog is to inspire others to action and share what I have learned on the issue.
