Deborah White quoted here: "“One in particular where we sent 329 children to one address: two garden apartment [buildings] in Houston, Texas.”

But Martha Raddatz would tell us, "Hey, it's not all of Houston. It's only two garden apartments."

Well done! There's a piece here though that I don't understand. By now, the word has gotten back to the countries of origin about what is happening to the illegal minors sent to the US without a sponsor or any kind of responsible party on the US end. What's the justification for sending kids into these horrendous situations? Or even sending your child so far away unattended; wanting a better life? Clearly, that's a roll of the dice. So, it would be pertinent to look at who is sending their kids here and why.

This is a very awful situation. Let’s also start punishing the John’s who purchase “services” from these victims. Thank you for this important and compelling journalism.

How can this excellent report be sent to major news sites? Why are even conservative sites skipping this report for other Free Press article links?

400,000 missing children! Modern day slave trade created by Biden & Harris. How can anyone with a conscience and a heart vote to continue this cruelty?

Excellent report. I will be interested to see if it gets picked up, followed up on, by other rmedia.

What are the chances of Harris being asked about this today during her interview on Fox News? I’d probably say close to zero! Please prove me wrong.

I would like to retire the word trafficking in this context. Call it the slave trade. Much more public impact.

Two issues to follow-up on here: (1) What are the technological means available today that make all of this orders of magnitude more possible than in the past? (2) Specifically, what role does the easy availability of abortion and artificial contraception play?

(I wonder what Planned Parenthood knows and we don't? 🧐)

Or, we could just lower the age of consent, open the borders, and legalize "sex work." If you make everything legal and "regulate" it, then the problem disappears: it's not bad anymore, people are "safe," and they can earn a just living. That seems to be the only sort of solution the progressive left has to offer around these issues today.

"Democrats have been shamefully silent on the trafficking issue."

Strike 'shamefully', insert 'criminally, immorally".

This is why Trump-Vance will get my vote. Illegal immigration is one of my top voting issues because of the mass-rape and trafficking, especially of little children, that is being allowed & ignored by Kamala Harris and Joe Biden.

"Law enforcement is understaffed and stretched too thin". Ya think? What was "defund the police" all about? Does someone really believe that the purpose of that campaign was to improve the security of minorities? What is related in this article is horrific, but without resolute, indefatigable, and even harsh enforcement that brooks no compromise, this problem won't go away. Lives are turned into living hells, while society goes on tsk tsking.

So the NGOs are accomplices to prostitution, torture and (basically) kidnapping and our government supplied the victims? It wasn’t long ago just this one scandal would bring down a president and cost a few election cycles. But not today. This strikes me as tyranny, nothing less. God save the children, because America isn’t even trying anymore.

Yes. And all I can think of right now is the prophecy in the NT book of Revelation (ch. 18)...

"Come out of her, my people, so that you will not participate in her sins and receive any of her plagues; for her sins have piled up as high as heaven, and God has remembered her offenses.... For this reason in one day her plagues will come, plague and mourning and famine, and she will be burned up with fire; for the LORD God who judges her is strong."

"And the merchants of the earth weep and mourn over her, because no one buys their cargo any more — cargo of gold, silver, precious stones, and pearls; fine linen, purple, silk, and scarlet; every kind of citron wood, every article of ivory, and every article made from very valuable wood, bronze, iron, and marble; cinnamon, spice, incense, perfume, frankincense, wine, olive oil, fine flour, wheat, cattle, sheep, and cargo of horses, carriages, slaves, and human lives."

I have no words other than this is evil and heartbreaking.

Thank you for your careful investigative work!

Why is this not in the news every day? What a horrible existence! This administration's border policies have led to this. Vote them out of office!

I worked for Global Emancipation Network, scraping websites for ads and identifying victims. We saved 989 people within 3 weeks of launch of the software product. It is heartbreaking that this problem is exploding. The individuals' stories are heartbreaking.
