14. Is there evidence of sexism and corruption in the child protective services bureaucracies in the United States (Title IV-E)?

Spoiler: Yes.

Though this operation is the FBI's eighth of its kind, Comey said this year featured the highest number of participating cities. But he said the biggest change was the increasing prevalence of children being sold online rather than on street corners.

Were they faxed? Added to emails as an attachment?

"No one is reporting them missing. Hence, no one is looking for them," said John Ryan, CEO of the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. "But for operations like this, these children likely would never have been found."

He said better laws were needed to require child welfare service to report children who disappear. Right now, he said, only two states have laws requiring agencies to report children missing from their care. There is no national, uniform standard.

Child welfare services that are federally funded should be mandated to report. FBI director James Comey need only look in his own backyard, not the internet.

the FBI shared this video of Nicole, who was lured into a life of prostitution at age 17

This is not "trafficking". It's just prostitution with underage kids. You don't get "lured into" slavery. What's the lure? The lure of prostitution is obvious: a ton of money. A seventeen year old kid is more than able to get out of such a situation if they want to.

many of the children who were recovered were never reported missing in the first place

Because they were not kidnapped of course. The kids left voluntarily, often with the full knowledge of their parents, or even because of their parents. If they had been kidnapped they would have been reported missing.

Calling it trafficking (slavery) appears to just be an excuse to go after the pimps who are presumably the mostly male people involved in what is the exact same industry. The pimps provide security in an industry that needs security. But whereas plenty of people will defend a prostitutes decision to enter an illegal profession, no such sympathy is given to the mostly male side of the industry. On the contrary these feminist myths about "trafficking" are taken at face value despite the evidence.
