I’ve written about this several times, and this post highlights an International movement to create minimum punishments for child trafficking. While the the two pieces of U.S. policy cited clearly state the minimums, some States have been slow to put tough anti-trafficking laws on their books, making it harder for local authorities to act.

Stop Child Slavery 
I don’t know why, but the topic of human trafficking touches my heart. I have never been a victim of trafficking and I don’t know anyone personally that has ever been sold into slavery. But there is just an ickiness about selling another person that really bothers me. Also, I agree. Twenty years in prison is not long enough. Surely, the perp can get out on parole before that and begin this disgusting activity all over again. I can’t tolerate the thought of animal abuse and human trafficking. I am also pro-life, but this is less emotional for me. I would never have an abortion and I believe in speaking out in saving the unborn, but I don’t become inflamed with anger over it as I do when I think about a person using another person as an object and a person deliberately hurting an animal for their own pleasure. I find this type of behavior denotes a person who is unbalance and really needs to be set apart from society for life. Sorry to go on and on, but when I read articles on human trafficking, I feel the compunction to state my own feelings about this unnecessary and demeaning act in writing.
Are you guys based in Chicago? If so, I’d like to meet up.
