Child sex trafficking is a billion dollar business. The only other illegal activity that earns more is illegal drug sales. Every year children are taken and forced into having sex with adults for money. Even surprising is that some of the men who have been caught engaging in sex with these minors are policemen, judges, doctors, and even fireman. Social class and financial status are irrelevant when it comes to child trafficking. For all you know, a family member or friend could be involved. It's a crime that usually stays in the darkness until it's forced into the light.

Her mother used to bring men to their home and allow them to rape her daughter for money, food, jewelry, or money to pay bills. Oddly enough, Jane always loved her mother and uses her faith in God to cope with her painful childhood memories.
