human trafficking is not humane

Human trafficking has been on the rise and very hard to stop. It does not get the main stream attention that it should like drugs or any other issue that threatens security.
That has changed though for a part of the nation. In Minasota on August 20th there will be a movie that come out according to Startribune. This movie is a documentary that calls human trafficking slavery. This video is a start, but according to the State Department for 2013 only 40,000 people were identified out of an estimated 26 million that are men, women, and children who suffer from this from of "modern Slavery."
Yes, we think that this kind of human trafficking cant happen in the United States, but only in foreign countries that dont have the resources, but in fact its happening in the United States.
According to a Senator in Minnesota he says that according to the FBI the twin cities in Minnesota the FBI has identified it as one of the top 13 places for child prostitution.
This is a very sad fact. What can we do about it? This documentary is a step, but more is need to curb this violence and modern day slavery.
