Child Trafficking In The US Today I watched a very disturbing film based on a real story which was about child trafficking in the US. A young girl was found facing down the whole time while she sat next to a man in a plane. The stewardess felt that there was something wrong looking at both of them and also saw bruises on the child's arm. The stewardess felt very alarmed and started to worry. She also knew that she had to act quick if she wanted to save the girl because the flight would end only in an hour and half. The stewardess and her colleague made a plan so that they would be able to make eye contact with the child. While serving the coffee, the stewardess's colleague dropped the sugar sack in front of the man's seat and pretended to search for it, the stewardess told the girl by sign language to go to the lavatory. So fortunately the girl followed her instruction and went into the lavatory and wrote in the back of the sticky note message ' Do you need help?" pasted on the mirror, 'I need help'. Later, before the doors were opened for the passengers to leave the plane, police rushed in and got hold of the man. After investigation, they found out that the girl was kidnapped a few months prior to the incident, was physically abused, and was to be sold to work as a prostitute in Taiwan. The statistics show that since 2012, the number of kidnapped children in the US have doubled to more than 2000. It is hard to believe that China or India is not the only main countries that this hideous crime is happening. In Japan, unlike before, small children from age 6 and above are traveling by train on their own and I find it still hard to believe. I am relieved that my family find this standard truly insane and that my very young nephews are never allowed to go to their schools or anywhere without being accompanied by their parent's.
