So apparently 3500 children in GA are trafficking victims each year. 3600 if you read the numbers on top of the busses. She setup a care facility for up to 24 child survivors of trafficking, do the other 3476 not survive? At 3500, that's 10 a day, maybe treatment is only two days to give them the benefit of the doubt. In any case we are taking action to shut down illicit (we can't say Asian) massage parlors. That's the best way to save the children.

If you go and look at the GRACE Commission, they estimate that 1. 5 MILLION people (mostly children) are trafficking victims in the US each year. The US population is 333.3 million, roughly 21% are under 18 for a total of 70 million. If you do the math 2% or 2 in every hundred children are allegedly sold for sex. That is unbelievably high.

The HPCI says in GA 116 children have been rescued and 46 traffickers are under indictment. While not "good" as trafficking a child is a horrible crime, those numbers are more believable. Way off from 3500. In any case the traffickers only receive prison time which does not seem to be near what they deserve IMO for selling children.

So three articles all saying different things with math that don't add up. So what's really going on? Here is my take:
1- Take a real issue that concerns everyone and use your public office to hyper-inflate the data and create a sensation.
2- Create a Commission to address the issue and appoint 25 board members, family or supporters.
3- It's not visible at all, the salary of board members or the budget of the commission, but follow the money. Use either public funds to pay board members or privately raised money which is another goal of the commission. What is the salary of a board member? I'll buy a beer for anyone who can find it.
4- Take action completely unrelated to the issue you sensationalized, but pick easy targets to rack up arrests and claim success. Then pat each other on the back, or slap asses in celebration while you count your stacks.
JunkSecond,
Great info, it shows who is behind this & why it's happening thru out the state. I love how 11 news linked a 6 year old youtube video to their news story as some sort of appendix or reference. Quality journalism.

See the Mayor of Roswell as a prime example. She is a nice lady, she means well but she is naive, like most of them, and like most of them they implement emotional responses instead of taking a long, hard, shrewd look at what is really happening out there. In Atlanta the sex trafficking is done by the thugs who take their victims to the local shit-hole hotels and turn them into prostitutes. In America most of the sex trafficking is taking place at the border by the cartels who are trafficking women and children into sex slavery, a travesty approved by this administration. Emotion rules the day though, and unfortunately it will be the parlors that will bear the brunt of the self-righteous wrath of the clueless.
Here's a summary of their meeting on the 29th. It doesn't look like there is any change to their current position even though legit masseuses are being penalized.

A little pushback against glory seeking LE and Politicians:

Maybe a little more of this would make them ease up.
I'm pretty sure that's how Johnny Cash sang it. All I know is if I tried to have a sex party it would be 20 dudes and one chick. So the cops rolling up to shots fired and finding an ongoing sex party with 20 chicks and one dude is likely probable cause in itself for trafficking because that shit don't work that way in real life.

But, the politicians don't care and the public is too stupid to understand.
Call it worse than it is and you sound like some kind of hero!

One of the more frightening things about the news article linked was the talk about going after the customers and the landlords.
If you get enough bored housewives (whose lack of attention to their husbands is what caused the whole massage demand to begin with) fired up, these things can gain momentum.
Not enough manpower. Unless they have evidence of you pounding Sally Slant-Pussy, it is all circumstantial evidence. A good defense attorney would have no problem making a charge like this go away.

It's clear that Roswell LE and the City are using the Camps and trafficking as a way of gaslighting the voters. Since the crackdown on the Camps, there have been robberies and break-ins on Holcomb Bridge Road and an apparent shooting at the Krystal on Holcomb Bridge Rd yesterday just west of 400. Maybe they should put their resources to good use and crack down on real crime and patrol the streets. Vote them out!

The mayor knows that his constituents are naive and stupid and unfortunately he is right.
