  Prologue

  According to the FBI, “here in this country, people are being bought, sold and smuggled like modern-day slaves, often overpowered and starved. The traffickers often get the girls addicted and force them to work as prostitutes or to take jobs as migrant, domestic, restaurant, or factory workers with little or no pay. Human trafficking is a heinous crime that exploits the most vulnerable in society.”

  “Under the Human Trafficking program, the Bureau investigates:

  “Sex Trafficking: when persons, both U.S. citizens and foreign nationals, are compelled to engage in commercial sex acts through the use of force, fraud or coercion. Sex trafficking of a minor occurs when the victim is under the age of 18. For these cases it is not necessary to prove force, fraud or coercion.”

  “Labor Trafficking: when persons, both U.S. citizens and foreign nationals, are compelled to performed labor or services through the use of force, threats of force, physical restraint, or threats of physical restraint; serious harm or threats of serious harm; abuse or threatened abuse of law or legal process; or coercion.”

  “During a human trafficking investigation, the primary goal of investigators is the recovery of victims in order to remove them from an environment of violence and exploitation. Program representatives work with victim advocates and organizations that are able to provide victims of human trafficking with immediate assistance (shelter, food, clothing) and long-term support services (counseling, education assistance or job training). After recovering a victim of human trafficking, field offices seek to arrest and successfully prosecute the traffickers.”

  “The Bureau’s Human Trafficking program has also successfully used lawful, sophisticated techniques— such as undercover investigations and Title III wire intercepts—to take down trafficking organizations, recover victims and intercept traffickers before they are able to victimize others.”

  “Over the past decade, the FBI’s human trafficking investigations have been responsible for the arrest of more than 2,000 traffickers and the recovery of numerous victims. The FBI will continue to take part in multi-agency efforts to combat the threat; provide outreach to law enforcement and community organizations to aid in the awareness of the threat, proper investigative techniques, identification of trafficking victims; and train international entities on how to identify victims of trafficking so that the Bureau and other law enforcement can intercept them before they are victimized by traffickers in the United States.”

  A person may be trafficked if they:

  “Cannot leave their work environment or cannot quit to find another job.”

  “Do not have control over their wages, money or finances.”

  Show signs of physical abuse or injury.”

  “Are accompanied everywhere by someone who speaks for them or allows others to speak for them when addressed directly.”

  “Appear to be fearful of or under the control of another person.”

  “Have health issues that have not been attended to.”

  “Owe money to an employer or another person whom they feel bound to repay.”

  “Describe moving or changing jobs suddenly and often.”

  “Are unfamiliar with the neighborhood where they live or work.”

  “Are not working in the job originally promised to them.”

  “Are traveling with minimal or inappropriate luggage/belongings.”

  “Lack identification, passport or other travel documents or do not have control over their documentation.”

  “Provide sexual services in a strip club, massage parlor, brothel or other locations and have a manager or pimp.”

  “Are a laborer, domestic servant or caretaker but never leave the home or workplace.”

  “Are unable to freely contact friends or family.”

  “Are not allowed to socialize or attend religious services.”

  “Have restricted freedom of movement.”

  “Are a juvenile engaged in a commercial sex act.”

  “Ar
e threatened or afraid of being handed over to the authorities.”

  “Are forced to work under certain conditions.”

  “Work excessively long hours over long periods.”

  Trafficked persons may be reluctant to report or seek services because they:

  “Do not know or understand that they are being exploited, or “trafficked.”

  “Are threatened that if they tell anyone, they or their families will be hurt.”

  “Have complex relationships with their traffickers that involve deep levels of psychological conditioning based on fear or misplaced feelings of love.”

  “Are unfamiliar with their surroundings and do not know whom to trust.”

  “Do not know help exists, how to access it or where to go for it.”

  “Are unfamiliar with the laws, cultures, and languages of the destination location or country.”

  “Fear retribution and forcible removal or deportation.”

  “Fear law enforcement and other authorities.”

  “Are addicted to drugs.”

  “Are in debt to their traffickers.”

  “Are sending much needed money back ‘home’ and worry about not being able to do this.”

  “Human Trafficking is modern day slavery. It is a scourge that exists across the entire globe, including in the U.S. It is a horrific crime that hides in plain sight. Unless you know what to look for and unless you understand what you are seeing you may miss it. Read on to learn more about human trafficking in the U.S., why it happens, how it happens, how to spot it, where to get help and how you can help stop it.”

  What are indicators of human trafficking?

  “Some indications that a person may be a victim of human trafficking include (especially in the case of women and children): appearing malnourished. Showing signs of physical injuries and abuse. Avoiding eye contact, social interaction and authority figures/law enforcement.”

  If you suspect human trafficking in your community, contact the National Human Trafficking Hotline at 888-3737-888, or call 911. Save a life.

  Here are some indications a person may be trafficked:

  Human Trafficking Red Flags.

  Other.

  “If you believe you are the victim of a trafficking situation or have information about a potential trafficking situation, call the National Human Trafficking Resource Center (NHTRC) at 1-888-373-7888. NHTRC is a national, toll-free hotline, with specialists available to answer calls from anywhere in the country, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.” You can also submit a tip on the NHTRC website.

  As our previous President Barack Obama said. “It ought to concern every person, because it is a debasement of our common humanity. It ought to concern every community, because it tears at our social fabric. It ought to concern every business, because it distorts markets. It ought to concern every nation, because it endangers public health, and fuels, violence and organized crime. I’m talking about the injustice, the outrage, of human trafficking, which must be called by its true name - - modern slavery.”- President Barack Obama, September 25, 2012

  If you or a loved one find yourself in this situation there are organizations that will help and really do care. This is a plague that must be ended. Please see the links below.

  The Beginning of the end of Lily Rose

  I can feel my life slipping away from me. I can feel the coldness of the water as I sink to the bottom. I am sinking into the dark cold abyss. I am starting to fade away. I am shivering I am so cold and all alone. It is said that your life flashes before your eyes, when you are about to die. Well not in my case.

  I am thinking about my family and how I have
let them down. Will they ever be able to forgive me? I no longer want to survive; I have no more strength left inside me. I am not scared! I am angry, I am leaving this Earth without fulfilling my dreams.

  All I see is black! I feel some pain; I do not want to resurface for air. I can feel the current pulling me further and further down the river. Is this it? Why did my life have to go this way? I am dying! I am beginning to feel better; I can feel my anguish slipping away. Just a few more minutes and my nightmare will be over. I will finally be at peace. I am an embarrassment to my family and friends. The world will be better off without me in it. Nobody wants me. Nobody loves me Carl was right.
