In Minnesota:

• 124 girls were domestically sex trafficked in August – up from 80 in February (55% increase)


• 112 girls were trafficked through ads posted on Internet classifieds in August – up from 68 in February (65% increase)


• The percentage of girls advertised on Internet classifieds increased most dramatically in Minnesota among the states studied during this six-month period


• Monthly domestic sex trafficking in Minnesota is more pervasive than the state's annually reported incidents of teen girls who died by suicide, homicide and car accidents (29 instances combined); infants who died from SIDS (6 instances); or women of all ages murdered in one year (37 instances)
  

This is OUR problem. We are the SOLUTION to this problem. The demand has to end. The support has to increase. Vigilance ramped up. Outrage should spread like wildfire, and justice should be served.

"He saves the needy from the sword, from the mouth of the mighty, and from their hand. So the poor have hope and injustice shuts her mouth." – Job 5:15-16
