Human Trafficking Research Paper

Luis Garavito murdered 140+ children; but was charged with killing 172 children throughout 59 town in Colombia. Garavito lured young boys that were between the ages 8 and 13 that were poor and on the streets like himself. Garavito altered his attitude and often changed his wardrobe from a disabled person, to a priest, to a street vendor, to a bum, and then back to a disabled person to gain the trust of these young boys. He would also offer them money for small jobs or drugs and then he lead them into hidden areas with tall plants overshadowing the two. He would then tie them up, rape them, torture them, then slit their throats, and lastly dismember their bodies. Garavito had a wicked twisted fantasy of becoming involved with young boys, boys that was his preferred victim type and he needed to become intimately involved with these boys. So he binded them in a way that was apart of his sadistic fantasies. El Loco was someone who craved to feel Godly. Garavito started his killing spree in 1992; by 1994 citizens and law enforcement agencies were desperately searching for boys that disappeared. By 1998 naked decomposed corpses were being found all over Colombia. Colombia’s well known Anthropologist Walker and Facial Reconstructionist Mario Leonardo was called in to identify 114 skeletal

On October 17, 2015, Michael Santiago, a Chicago father, was jailed after his 6-year-old son accidentally shot his 3-year-old brother. While Santiago was at work, their grandfather, Israel LaSalle, was at their house watching them until Santiago arrived back. While the grandfather was upstairs, the boys were downstairs playing “cops and robbers” when all of a sudden the 6-year-old grabbed a gun that was on top of the refrigerator, wrapped in pajamas, and shot his younger brother, Eian, in the head. Immediately, LaSalle ran downstairs and rushed the boy to the hospital that was located across the street. However, in spite of the efforts, Eian’s wounds were too great and he died at the hospital. Michael Santiago, faces felony child endangerment charges. Police say that Santiago “confessed to purchasing the weapon illegally from a gang member. He told authorities he kept it for protection”.

This research is exploratory because the researchers attempt to point out social trends that play a role in becoming a human trafficking victim. It goes beyond the mere description of human trafficking its causes and effects, the information that the researcher provide might be able to prevent the crime. Or at very least, educate potential victims. This is pure research because the researchers want to expand the body of knowledge of human trafficking. There has been substantial research in regards to victims of human trafficking, this particular study lists a few previous research components.

To make this story even more heart-crushing this young man was merely slapped on the hand with a sentence of two years in physciatric juvenile detention facility. If tried as an adult, this young man would have received 20 to 35 years maximum sentence in a state penitentiary without bail. Maybe this sixteen year old should have gotten more than two years but he came out a man from the detention facility (Wadsworth 11). He matured and learned to be himself, not wht other people wanted him to be. Rehabilitation programs are one alternative that has proven successful and helpful (Age 61). An example of a success story was Trina Leas of Peoria, Illinois. Trina was only 13 years old when she brutally shot and killed her classmate in the middle of class. Trina subsequently attended a local camp for troubled youth called "Peoria's Camp Neighborhood" and was totally changed. Now Trina lives a life free of crime and works in Peoria to help counsel youth (Age 64). Another success story from Wichita, Kansas concerns an eleven-year-old boy named Iman Reed. Young Iman had been hanging out on the streets and was a prime target for a revenge shooting. Out of fear for her son's life, Iman's mother enrolled him in the "Big Brother Program." This program paired Iman with a big brother, and now five years later, he has all A's and B's and has his sights set on a law degree. Iman is no longer involved with any street activities and

Human trafficking is the modernized version of slavery that involves force, fraud, and/or a type of labor in a sexual act. The United States government defines it to be “In which a sex act is forced in which the person induced has not yet been attained eighteen years of age” (National Institute of Justice). Human trafficking is a threat to all nations and promotes breakdown of families and can support organized crime. Trafficking can occur everywhere. Human trafficking and human smuggling are related to one another, but different crimes. The difference between smuggling and trafficking is that smuggling is the illegal movement of someone across a border while trafficking is the illegal exploitation of a person.

    Although these kids are young, they are still murderers and still criminals. An example of this, Lionel Tate, he was “...twelve when he savagely beat to death a six-year-old girl” (Lundstrom 87). He was sentenced to life in prison after this crime, which was blamed on pro wrestling. What about Thomas A. Preciado, who “...was fourteen when he stabbed to death a minimart clerk” (Lundstrom 87)? He was also tried as an adult after committing this unnecessary crime. These crimes are gruesome and the kids are old enough to know better.

In some murder cases the offenders are underage but in other cases the offenders are really young. In one case the murders were 10 and 11 years old. The young boys names are Jessie Rankins (10) and Tykeece Johnson (11) when they abducted a 5 year old Eric Morse and took him to a building on the 14 floor and dangled him then dropped him. This all happened because the killers wanted the 5 year old to steal candy for them. They were Chicago’s youngest inmates and it was one of the most notorious murders in Chicago history.

I have decided to write about human trafficking it may also be known as teen trafficking. Human trafficking is also about organ harvesting and not just about sexual labor (Lehnardt). Trafficking is dangerous in every way.

Sex trafficking is a serious issue that many in the United States but also the world is not aware of the magnitude. There are thousands of victims of sex trafficking and there are some who are more likely to be victim than others. In this essay, I will show why sex, gender, race, sexual orientation, and economics increases ones' chances of being sex trafficked.

Imagine for a moment a place like no other. Imagine for a moment a place where peace, tranquility, and calm reign. Imagine a place where hurt, pain, suffering, strife, hatred, and envy are absent. Imagine a place filled with good. Imagine a place of beauty, of plenty, of wonder, and of serenity. Think of a place where the ills and burdens associated with the fallen nature of man do not exist. Wars are unheard of because the struggle for power and superiority does not exist. Murder, suicide, and abortion are unheard of because the value of created life is still respected. Homosexuality, adultery, polygamy, prostitution, and human sex trafficking are unheard of because the sexual element to human relationships was pure and intended to be enjoyed

When people think about human trafficking they think of what the victims go through, but not what they experience after surviving it. When a person gets a victim out of the human trafficking system, are put back out in the world and expect them to function normally, but what they experienced will catch up to them. The mental ailments of human trafficking are harder to adjust to than the physical ailments. They might be in fear of getting back into the system, they feel people might disown them and they think they might be kidnapped again.

Human trafficking is the illegal transportation of people from one place to another. The victims are primarily woman and girls who are then used in the illegal sex trade.
