100,000 child victims of sex trafficking[edit]

I've removed the part about "currently at least 100,000 child victims of sex trafficking". This has been debunked here: [1] Kendall-K1 (talk) 15:09, 15 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I see. According to more reliable studies, this is 9 to 10 thousand [2]. My very best wishes (talk) 03:16, 28 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Internet section[edit]

I removed the newly added Internet section. The first source is 404, and the other two do not support the material. The htcourts source does not mention Craigslist; did you mean to cite one of the fact sheets? The Huffpo source only says "Village Voice Media profits from the sex ads it posts on its Backpage.com" which does not support "A significant number of victims are advertised on ... Backpage.com."

Human Trafficking/Involuntary Servitude.[edit]

“Human Trafficking/Involuntary Servitude.” FBI, FBI,3 May 2016, www.fbi.gov/investigate/violent-crime/human-trafficking.

This article goes dives into how the FBI is working on exploiting traffickers on the state and federal level. It speaks of not only citizens being trafficked isn’t the a United States but immigrants as well for sex, trade, and “modern day” slavery. There is an initiative included with also an addition of information of the TVPA (Trafficking Victims Protection Act). Since this is written by the FBI I have no doubt that this is credible source. It is a government informed cite that has great reputable information.

I am not sure when this article was published, however I am aware that the article is partnered up with NCMEC which is a tip line for child exploitation in the United States and also refers their number on the bottom. It gives many sources and addition to that a lot of information about the tragedy that is occurring everyday.

This goes article will do very well with both my research topic and this Wikipedia article, it gives information and sources straight from a governmental website and allows people to read about something that is a real issue not only in the UNITED States, but all over the world. Araceli Arellano.
