Child Sex Trafficking in the USA and How To Stop It - Paperback

by Cathy Peters (Author)

In the USA, society and culture have reached a point where the most vulnerable are not being protected. Buying and selling children for sex is one of the fastest growing crimes globally and is happening in communities across the United States.

Today's youth, children, the vulnerable and marginalized are at a huge risk of early sexualization and sexual predation. They are aggressively targeted for sexual exploitation yet unaware of the insidious, coercive, and manipulative tactics of the sex industry. It is important to know and understand the level of youth sexual exploitation that exists and how it occurs, so that as a society the exploitation can be stopped.

At-risk youth need prevention education and early intervention. Parents, police, social workers, and teachers are typical frontline contacts. This book will assist their efforts to recognize the indicators and to know the resources available to help stop the exploitation.

As a society we have a moral obligation to address the exploitation immediately, resolutely, and robustly. If we do not do so, the harm caused to future generations will be immeasurable.
