Child sex trafficking rampant in US - Video
An FBI bulletin shows that 100,000 to 300,000 American children are at the risk of becoming victims of sex traffickers which is turning into a "problem of epidemic proportion." "When we are talking about something that's become an 'epidemic' by the FBI, we need a culture shift," Andrea Powell, who works directly with children who have been sold for sex, told a Press TV correspondent in Washington. Powell says most of the child victims she works with come from poor neighborhoods and broken families. The average age a child gets involved into the sex trafficking industry in the US is between 12 and 14 years old, she adds.
