America stands out as the leader in freedom: freedom to learn, travel, spend money, have different religions, and to move about from state to state with ease. There are so many people who do in fact want this freedom that they are willing to risk their lives and the lives of their families to cross our borders illegally.
The most noticed abuse is happening to young infants. The results are in a study of 422 abused children from mostly lower-income families, known to face greater risks for being abused, and the research involved just 74 counties in four states, which showed the common injury for these children were reports from many pediatricians who've seen increasing numbers of shaken baby cases and other forms of brain-injuring abuse.
Human Trafficking is defined as: the recruitment, harboring, transportation, provision, or obtaining of a person for labor or services, through the use of force, fraud or coercion for the purpose of subjection to involuntary servitude, peonage, debt bondage, or slavery. It may also involve sex trafficking in which a commercial sex act is induced by force, fraud, or coercion, or in which the person induced to perform such an act has not attained 18 years of age.
Unemployment rates in the 74 counties rose during the five-year study. The proportion of children on Medicaid in those counties also increased, from 77 percent before the recession to 83 percent. Along with U.S. Census data released last week indicating that a record 46 million Americans are poor.
Along with the variety of victims comes the variety of traffickers as well. Traffickers include a wide range of criminal operators from small families businesses; loose-knit decentralized criminal networks, individual pimps, and international organized criminal syndicates.
Most parents who abuse their children just snap, they did not premeditate how to hurt their children, however it is still wrong and to blame "the economy made me do it" is a poor cop-out.
Parents might be sleep-deprived, obviously stressed and just can't take the pressure of raising a family, paying the rent, or bills any longer. If this is the case they need to back away from their children- take an adult "time out", and in some instances call a friend or family member for help would be a great and responsible thing to do.
