Persuasive Speech On Kidnapping

I want to have 4 children one day. Two girls and two boys. My children could be vulnerable to sex trafficking if I don’t teach them the dangers of what a conniving, charming, and manipulative person could do by turning them no longer into a friend but a product that is bought and sold for sex. According to Equality Now about 18,000 people in the US and 20.9 million people worldwide adults and children are bought and sold due to sex trafficking. That means one out of forty-three people will be bought and sold into sex trafficking in the US alone and I do not want that one to be any of you. Slavery in any form makes me sick to think about. Sex trafficking is one that upsets me the most. The buying and selling of humans for a sexual and torturous purpose should without a doubt looked upon in a stricter light. Together we need to shed light on this dark topic and know the warning signs of a pimp and of a victim so we can stop something that to the subject seems impossible to stop.

Nearly all civilization at one point practiced bride or wife kidnapping. The reason why wife kidnapping was practiced and was accepted by society is because gender equality was not an important issue at the time. Also, the men who practiced this tradition were mostly people of power and authority. In modern society, gender equality and feminism are a big deal in all societies around the world with the exception of a Central Asian country called Kyrgyzstan. To this day, people in Kyrgyzstan still practice the old tradition of bride kidnapping even though it is against the law in Kyrgyzstan. Kyrgyzstan has witnessed many women, who were kidnapped to be a bride, suicide because their freedom is taken away from them. Another reason why kidnapped

A non-family abduction occurs when a nonfamily perpetrator takes a child by using physical force, threat of bodily harm, or detaining the child for a substantial amount of time in an isolated location (Finkelhor, Hammer, & Sedlak, 2002). In 2002, 58,200 were estimated to have been abducted by a nonfamily perpetrator (Finkelhor, Hammer, & Sedlak, 2002). According to the FBI, there are four types of nonfamilial child abductors. The first type that the FBI identified is who we know as pedophiles. A pedophile can be defined as someone who is sexually attracted to young children (Dictionary, n.d.). They are also known to be the largest single category of child abductors (Burgess, Regehr, & Roberts, 2013). The second type identified is serial

Many kidnappings that have happened around the United States mainly connect with children wanting to leave with a stranger even though they know that it is wrong. How is it that adults are capable of luring children into coming with them even though they are complete strangers? Furthermore, do not parents teach their kids not to go with strangers and if it does happen that they should scream for help? Sure, yet children still willingly go with strangers. Perhaps something about them kidnapers convinces children that it is okay. Statistics show that ninety-eight percent of abducted children do not survive beyond the first 30 days (Smart 4). Some tactics that kidnappers use on their kidnap children are brainwashing, hypnosis, and physical

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

Originally, the crime of kidnapping was defined as the unlawful and non-consensual transportation of a person from one country to another. In the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, states began to redefine kidnapping, most notably eliminating the requirement for interstate transport. Under the laws of most states, kidnapping is a crime where the victim has transported a substantial distance or held in a place of isolation through the use of force. Kidnapping statutes also define a set of purposes for kidnapping including collecting ransom, inflicting bodily injury, or terrorizing

One of my all time favorite musicals as I was growing up was alway Annie, about a sweet little orphan who through determination and a little positivity found a better life. But has happened to orphans nowadays, you don’t exactly drive by your neighborhood orphanage on your way to work. It seems that these children have disappeared, virtually falling off the face of the earth. Today they are called foster kids with families like my own housing them. The early foster system was established in the 1500s in order to care for children who were removed from their parents. Foster care was intended to be a short-term solution until the child is either adopted or reunited with their family. However, the average child will spend over two years waiting to be adopted. But the flaws in this system run much deeper, from mental disorders all the way to human trafficking. Human trafficking through the foster system is a dire problem that can not be neglected. We will examine this today by looking at three points; recognizing what the problem, understanding the pressure that they are under, and finally how you and i can help provide the promise of a new life

Many people get a thrill out of reading horror stories and watching suspense movies, especially about kidnappings and abductions. However, kidnappings in stories and books are nothing like in real life. Mary Rowlandson and Jaycee Dugard are two real people that were abducted. Both ladies were taken away from their families against their will, but their stories are very different from each other in terms of the setting, their captors, and their children.

Everybody is born with a voice. One may have a voice that can be heard for miles, while another may possess a voice that is very quiet and not often used. Being born with a voice is a gift, a gift so precious. One may use their voice for good, to stand up for what they believe in, while another may use it to promote bad behavior. Some people tend to overlook its value until possibly one day, it is snatched away from them and there is nothing else they can say. All around the world today, there are people who have have been forced into human trafficking against their own will. The victims have had their voices stolen away by human traffickers. They can no longer be heard by the public, as their voice begins to silence. The only people who can speak on their behalf is the government. The government has the power to help the public become aware of the issue. They can also help by enforcing laws, as well as new programs, to get victims out of the inhumane system that has dramatically began to rise over time. The government can assist in establishing a better life for those who have been victimized. Without the government’s aid in funding, which means the increase in tax dollars, the problem will continue to grow and more victims will be trapped in the system.

I think the monsters in our society today are the people who kidnap kids. Its so sad to think that some people out there want to abduct children from their families. I don't know what they get out of this or why their intentions are this way. It hurts the family more than anything. Not knowing if your kid is still alive or where they are or whats happening to them. Walking into a store and seeing all the missing child pictures on the wall break my heart. This is why I believe that people who kidnap children are the biggest monsters in todays

Some even get shipped off to different countries. Woman and children are typically more at risk for being abducted and forced into sex trafficking. In fact according to DoSomething.Org “...600,000 to 800,000 people are trafficked across international borders every year, of which 80% are female and half are children”(2017). The U.S. not only has the issue of people being abducted, but people are being transported to the U.S. for human trafficking every day. Victims are being forced to sell sex, work for little or no pay, or are forced to do domestic work. The State and Federal Government need to become more involved in helping and finding human trafficking victims by strengthening laws and should educate people about human trafficking and how it happens and can affects one’s life.

A. People who are trafficked for sex feel completely helpless, and the horror they have to go through is not fully acknowledge.

Where does your mind wander when someone talks about child trafficking? Do you think of children from third world countries being kidnapped or sold into the black market of human trafficking? Most of us probably think of human trafficking as being an issue that poor countries just have but, that isn’t the case. Human trafficking is alive and sadly thriving in the United States. According to Trafficking Source Center, 5,544 cases of human trafficking were reported in the United States in 2015. With human trafficking being around for so long, nations have to find ways to create tougher laws, find a way to focus on the issue, and create better safe havens for the victims of the crime.

Every day these men, women, and children are affected and forced to do actions that they do not want to do. Because of the way human trafficking looks to the naked eye, it is very hard to depict what is good and what is putting people in agony every day. It's hard to understand that the people holding their victims captive will do anything to keep them or sell them, these people cannot get away easily. There has been stories of people getting out and being brought back in and of the criminals doing anything to get them back because they think they have formed a special bond. When these people are trafficked they have no choice but to do what they are told or else there is consequences depending on the type of work they are forced into. “In what seems like a coordinated attack, assailants also stormed a government shelter in an attempt to kidnap other trafficking survivors. Our safe house is home to women and girls who have endured harrowing abuse and who are fighting legal battles against traffickers” (How), is an account from when a safe house was berated in an attempt to get the girls back. Legal officials find it hard to keep the girls safe from harm because of the lengths these people are willing to go to, to get these victims back. But if these people do get out there isn’t the best situation on the other side. “ Victims of human trafficking often find themselves

That’s how easy it is to kidnap people because the captors prey on the vulnerable. In this movie, it showed glimpse of what the girl was going through as a slave, but it showed more of what the father had to do to save his daughter. Between Cargo and Taken, they both showed scenes of what a house of sex slaves look like, how their drugged up and used, and how sleazy men are the reason for these
