It sounds like the plot of a crime drama or the scourge of a developing country, but experts say that human trafficking is a serious problem in the U.S., and American’s children are frequent pawns.
Human trafficking is modern-day slavery. It includes all aspects of forcing an individual to perform labor or other services. Traffickers use debt bondage, threats and physical violence to recruit or harbor individuals who are then forced to unlawfully and/or unwillingly perform labor. This labor can include sexual services, domestic labor, agricultural or field labor, mail order brides or factory work.
