Another week, another massive number of articles, arrests, and rescues. Remember it is all about the children in the end.
I've been at this for several weeks now, and from my view this is significantly growing. The globe is cracking down on trafficking at an alarming rate. Although this is a good thing, it saddens me to know how many children have been abused. Over 70 different articles this week, which is the highest I've had so far.
Anyway, let's get to the news!
