The 800K number comes from the National Center for Missing AND exploited Children - hey lump them all together so the operative words are "And Exploited" - not all of the 800K are missing (abducted) - many are being exploited but are not "missing/abducted" they are being tricked out by their families. If you are looking globally, the estimate is around 25,000,000 are captive in the sex trade.slave industry but those numbers also include adults.
Oh, agreed and known 100%.
Just 800k in US alone seems a bit high. Combined, unfortunately, yeah.
