10-20 years ago if you financially fell out of the boat, family friends or neighbors could help out of your problems. This days everything is so expensive that it’s almost impossible for others to help you out. Even if you do your utmosts best to pull yourself out of your financial problem. The smallest mistake can pull you whole down again.
So I was reading this post about the mother who trafficked her daughter because of financial reasons. Surprisingly nobody talked why she end up trafficking her own daughter for housing, shoes etc. Would the mother do the same if she could afford housing, shoes etc on her own?
I’m more curious in how we as a society could prevent all of this from happening.
We should go to the root of this problem instead placing a bandage over it. I mean her daughter had to be trafficked first before people even cared about her. A mother/father should never be uncertain about being able to have a roof over the head of her/his children.
All this article is focusing on is how the mother got Nike shoes in return. This article doesn’t care about the child, only the sensation it can create around it. The elephant in the room here is that human life standards are going downhill.
We are all talk until we end up in the same situation where you have to make decisions to survive.
This society is so fucked people don’t know the real value of life anymore.
This is not a new issue, fren. And it's not solved easily. I am the mother of four adopted kiddos whose own mother was the victim of human trafficking. And I can trace back their lineage to more of the same. It's generational, and it's ugly.
The solution comes down to having people of integrity in all the important places: case workers, judges, foster parents (for the love of God, if you can foster, do so), and legislators. So, literally, what we are doing here...waking people up to the atrocities...that is of utmost importance.
What will grow this issue is digital currency. All those illegal things wont go away and thry will need something to barter for drugs, weapons, etc. People will become the orimary currency of the underground crime world moreso than it already is.
God Lord. Never considered the possibility. A bleak future, that.
Outside of people, valuables will become commodities on the black market.
Cars, jewelry, anything that can be traded. Crime will skyrocket. Home invasions, robberies for jewelry, car jackings will all go through the roof.
People dont like the idea but the criminal underworld wont go away just cause fiat does. And fiat is their primary trade currency.
Ukraine is home to this type of activity. Parents and grandparents are directly involved in child sex trafficking. It's happening on well-known live streaming platforms.

Aha... You know, it would be super handy if people could pin say one comment of their own on their own post - lots of times I'll put extra info in a comment and sure enough it ends up bubbling to the bottom as the post gets other comments/they get dooted....

I hadn't seen it either - thanks. Now, that said, I think you're giving the woman far too much benefit of the doubt here. She sounds like a total loser, not someone who just fell on hard times or something.
I agree with your general sentiment that we SHOULD have far more "financial bandwidth" - the destruction of benevolence is by design and they do it from all angles, so financial certainly is one. But I just can't extend this argument to justify this woman having done this....
People take the path of least resistance. If there are no consequences they will continue to do it.
I do not accept the blame for this woman. You blame me as 'society' that its my fault? The fault is not the need for Nike shoes. The fault is this woman has no morals, cannot believe in God if she does this. Has no love in her heart, only greed for more 'things'. It would be better if a millstone was tied to her ....
I hate it as much you that this happened. I’m more for preventing such things from happening than that it already happened and there is a need for punishment.
You explicitly alone are not responsible for it. Years of voting for the wrong people got us here. Just think about all the untold stories like this one where nobody gets justice.
