the reality of our scary world

Lately it seems many things keep popping up on human trafficking i came across a show on my instant watch netflix that was called "very young girls" then today a friend on facebook posted an artical from vanityfair.com "sex trafficking in america the girl next door" about two young girls who were forced into prostitution being sold from pimp to pimp. (this is not just in other countries it is right here in america )the thought of this sickens me. these poor girls are repeatedly raped and beaten. They are forced to inject drugs  making them addicts and feel like they have to stay because they would never be able to supply the amount of drugs they need on their own. So many of these girls were girls from broken homes looking for someone to care about them. which is exactly what the pimps fed off of the gained their trust by giving them a home and nice things and telling them they love them... statistics show the average age of prostitutes is 13 years old. also 75%-80% of them are forced to be on the streets selling their bodies. i really feel that there needs to be higher awareness of this. many teen girls have self esteem issues these days making it that much easier for these animals to brainwash them and suck them into the life. this world is a very scary place. when i hear stories like this it hurts my heart how can we turn our heads to this i want to help to make the world a better place and if we all did we could achieve amazing things. if you are not able to get out there hands on at least spread the word of the dangers of the world educate your children the best you can so they dont fall victim to these dangerous people.
