Identification And Identification For Children

Have you ever walked into Wal-Mart and taken the time to look at the numerous pictures of missing youth that is plastered on the wall? When looking at how long they have been missing, it ranges anywhere from months to years. Looking at their age, both boys and girls, it is hard not to wonder if these kids are being trafficked. Child sex trafficking, also known as human trafficking, is a major issue that is not only plaguing the United States, but the world. Residing in a state where teen sex trafficking is very common, it is imperative that not only adults, but the youth understand what child sex/human trafficking is, what is a sex-trafficker, and the data that reveals the seriousness of child sex

It is said that 800,000 children are unaccounted for each year, which means nearly 2,000 are withdrawn from their family per day. These minors aren't your everyday run of the mill runaway cases. No, these statistics are the results of kidnapping; a consequential felony in the U.S. Kidnapping is the wrongful act of constraining persons with the intent to detain them against their will. Depending on the situation; if the victim is transported from one place to another, the use force or ultimatums are involved, or if the victim had been physically or sexually assaulted, punishments for the crime may vary.

According to the United States Department of Justice every forty seconds a child is being abducted. This works out to be about 2,000 abductions per day and 800,000 abductions per year. This would be 11.4 children per every 1,000 children being abducted. Seventy-five percent of abductions are committed by males. Sixty-seven percent of these perpetrators are under the age of twenty-nine. Seventy-four percent of children abducted are girls. Seventy-one percent of the kidnappers are strangers to the victims. Eighty percent of abductions occur within a quarter of a mile from where the child lives. Less than sixty of the children are returned to their families alive. Four percent of the children abducted are never found. Seventy-four

Over the years our country, Malaysia has been bombarded with abundance of missing children/ children abduction cases. A statistic released by police of Malaysia, stated that a total of 3223 children below 18 went missing between 2008 and April last year (2012). Of this figure, only about 1000 cases were solved.

Human trafficking affects our children and our schools more than most realize. It is estimated that more than 200,000 American children are trafficked each year in America. Victims of trafficking often come from vulnerable populations, including migrants, oppressed or marginalized groups, runaways or displaced persons, and the poor (Talati). The children most likely to be targeted by traffickers are those not living with their parents, who are vulnerable to coerced labor exploitation, domestic servitude, or prostitution. Sex traffickers target children because of their vulnerability and gullibility, as well as the market demand for young victims. Studies have shown that it is not just high school children at risk, demonstrating that pimps prey on victims as young as 12 years old. Victims

CTV News shared breaking news on October, 23, 2013 that four Romanian women were found being victimized to human trafficking in Montreal. These women were lured to Canada hoping that they would find a better future but instead were forced into prostitution (2013). Human trafficking is an issue that is rarely acknowledged by Canadians. Most people are either unaware of the problem or do not recognize it as something that is happening in their own backyard. Although Canadians are exposed to the severity of human trafficking in other countries, Canadian citizens are unaware of the fact that Canada is not only a transit point for the United States but also a destination country. Information from the Ottawa Rape Crisis Centre states “The RCMP

(Legislation, 2015.) Human trafficking also violates the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act in section 118 which prohibits the bringing of any person into Canada by means of abduction, fraud, deception or use of threat of force or coercion. The government of Canada has put into place a national action plan to combat human trafficking in Canada, on June 6, 2012. This action plan aims to target preventing human trafficking, protecting victims, prosecuting offenders and working in partnership with others on the domestic and international fronts. So far the action plan has launched a police enforcement team to further investigate human trafficking, provided funding to different organizations to work with governments to address human trafficking and has amended the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act Regulations to provide further protection to temporary foreign workers, ensuring abuse free work places. The action plan has also allowed the government to fund up to $500,000 annually for victims of human trafficking, raised awareness for domestic sex trafficking of aboriginal peoples living on and off reserve and in rural and northern communities through campaigns and conducted research to better

“According to UNICEF, every two minutes a child is being prepped for sexual exploitation.” Studies have shown that 1.2 million children are being trafficked each year. “This number excluded the millions already being held hostage by trafficking.” (1).

The month of January has many important events to remember, for example; New Year's Eve and Day, birthdays, and Martin Luther King Jr. Day. But many people may not know that the eleventh of January is dedicated to making people aware of the horrible crime known as human trafficking, or more specifically, child trafficking (National Human). Human Trafficking has plagued cities and countries all around the world; many of those victims are as young as nine years old while the average age ranges from 12 to 14 years old. The state of California houses three of the thirteen highest trafficked places: San Diego, San Francisco, and Los Angeles (11 Facts). Because 300,000 Americans under the age of 18 are lured into child trafficking every year, organizations

All over the world, people are doing this Missing Child Experiment, and it is astonishing what some of the factors were. One of the causes mentioned on this experiment was that

The UNHCR (2014) report Children on the Run highlights the dramatic rise in the number of apprehensions of unaccompanied and separated children by the US Customs and Border Protection, from 4,059 in 2011 to 10,443 in 2012, to 21,537 in 2013, and to nearly 68,541 in 2014. Most unaccompanied asylum-seeking minors arriving in the US come from three countries: El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras. They were seeking protection, safety, or employment, or they were joining their families that had already migrated. (UNHCR, 2014)

I don't believe it is morally wrong as long as person is not identifying the patient by name, where they work, and other factors that could identify the person. I often hear doctor's discussing their patients or a story about a patient, but they are very protective about not revealing any information that could possibly identify the patient. I have a pretty uncommon name so I would not want people using my names when discussing my health, I don't believe a name even needs to be mentioned.

Continuing and adding on to Canadian accomplishments in relation to the subject, the Government of Canada has launched a National Action Plan to Combat Human Trafficking. The plan consolidates ongoing efforts of the federal government to combat against human trafficking whilst introducing aggressive new initiatives in an effort to prevent human trafficking, identify victims, protect the most vulnerable, and prosecute perpetrators. The National Action Plan aims to better support and uplift organizations whom provide assistance to victims. The plan also builds on Canada’s current responses and commitment to work cohesively with global partners to prevent and combat organized crime groups and their involvement with human trafficking. Additionally,

Today, we are all here gathered for Eli Davis, a charming, charismatic little boy with a smile that would brighten anyone’s day. His laugh was loud, but loved many, his eyes were big and bright, but we cannot say the same about his future because he never got the chance. No one saw it coming, but it came, and if we could turn back the hands of time to work in Elis favor it would be handled with the snap of a finger. If only we were more caring, careful, cautious then maybe we could have saved a young life. Little Eli was abducted from his own home by a sick, twisted psychopath in the middle of the night and found in 3 different locations because his body parts were separated. Today we are gathered here to burry what is left of Eli Davis. Eli is not the only innocent child who has fell victim to one of these horrible abductions, there are a countless number of children who have suffered the same fate. With this being said, America should take action to expunge these horrid child abductions because they are killing our innocent children, traumatizing our loved ones, and killing our population/future. Child abduction is the unauthorized removal of a minor from the custody of the child's natural parents or legally appointed guardians. According to the US National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, in the USA an estimated 800,000 children are reported missing every year. There are some families who are blessed because they are

“Distinctions between “child abduction” and “child kidnapping” are not always clear-cut, as the terms are not always used consistently in the news media, the sociological literature, and statutory law. Generally, however, “child abduction” is the more inclusive term and is almost always the term applied to the unlawful seizing
