NO CHILD IS SAFE

   After drugs, human trafficking is the world's largest financial enterprise, generating over $12 billion dollars a year.
   After drugs, human trafficking is also the world's fastest growing crime.
   In the United States alone, more than 800,000 children are reported missing each year.  Some are found safe and unharmed, but many are found dead, and many are never seen again; and 76% of kidnapped children (who are killed) are murdered within three hours after abduction.
   Worldwide, women and children are abducted, drugged, and exploited in the dark world of prostitution, pornography, and pedophilia---even as young as three years of age. 
   In some countries, girls are taken as brides as young as eight years and sexually abused by adult men, who gloat of their conquests of innocent children.
   In the United States, child pornography is one of the fastest growing crimes, and approximately 20,000 foreign nationals are exported to the United States each year for sexual exploitation.
   According to Child Sexual Abuse Prevention Study, an average serial child molester could have as many as 400 victims in his lifetime. 
   These statistics are truly alarming numbers, but the news media outlets of the world do not report on the tragedy of suffering women and children around the world. 
   Women and children are victims of crimes, victims of fear, and they also fear reporting crimes against them and their human rights for fear that people will not believe their reports.  They also fear more punishment if they flee and reveal the identity of their assailants, and they also fear death. 
   Every hour of every day and all over the world, a woman or a child disappears.  And in every neighborhood and community around the world and across the internet, predators of women and children are on the hunt.
   Be careful.  Be diligent.  Be watchful.  Beware of your environment.  Guard your children.
