Th Midwest doesn't have nearly as many girls or foreigners trafficked IN, so I don't think we get the same picture as where the children are being trafficked TO. The Midwest is prime picking grounds to traffic OUT though. Small little towns, like the strip clubs along 70. For whatever reason the girls are stuck there waiting for Mr. Pimp charming to come along and sell them a dream of being a star in California. The girls are small town Midwest girls, not hip to game. Just chance that it's their ticket.
It's a sick subculture where abused children are lured, taken advantage of and exploited for sexual and personal gain. Americans like to play pink elephant in the living room. Public outrage or specific bills that address this at least bring it to the surface.
Now I am not saying this wasn't done for political gain and am not endorsing anything. Just saying that's what I hope to come of it. That and rehabilitative services for the victims as specialized trauma training is a necessity.
