There have been many very good reports done over the years on this subject - I have seen many. Unfortunately, not much is done beyond the production of a few investigative news stories and then the issue is swept back under the rug and out of the view of the average citizen. There is little if any traction gained in the fight beyond making people aware. Many simply go back to their lives despite what they have seen. It is too horrible to think about beyond a prima facie processing. It is what another anon so appropriately called, "unthinking resistance." Their minds just cannot fully accept the reality. Perpetrators count on this fact which allows them to continue. Most good and honest people cannot get their heads wrapped around the thought of that kind of depravity existing enough to grab the pitchforks and matches. Trafficking is big business with no real incentive to stop the flow of people and money. Usually, the average person only gets involved when the problem affects them personally in some way and they become pissed off enough to take action. Suffering loss as a result of trafficking and sexual assault is a good motivator. But, the activist is only allowed to make a stink as long as it does not step on the toes of anyone in power. Once they become too much of a nuisance and cross a certain line, they are dealt with - and most of the time, not to the disadvantage of the powerful. The powerful all cover for each other because of the blackmail and greed. Sadly, many of the politically and financially powerful are compromised. It's all about the leverage. So even if some person higher up the food chain has a glimmer of conscience and tries to take some action, blackmail and plain old threats and arm twisting are enough to buy their silence and inaction. (Congressman Steve Scalise was shot because he was taking action on trafficking.) My sister-in-law has taken on the entire state of Utah over the death of her daughter. My niece had been taken into custody after she gave a rude cop a snoot full of tude. After arriving at the jail, we believe someone tried to sexually assault her. Knowing my niece, she fought back. She was held in the dark part of the jail - in other words, no cameras.  The jail claimed she was going through drug withdrawal and fell off the bench in the cell that was only a foot and a half off the floor. Her spleen was literally ruptured in half. My niece did not do drugs and the toxicology report proved that she was not under the influence of any substances as they claim. Her clothes were never found.    None of the incident reports match and many flat out lied. She asked for medical care because of stomach pain and it was delayed. The jail said she was conscious and alert when EMTs arrived. The EMTs on the other hand, stated that she was unresponsive and that they could not get a line started - meaning she had bled out. The scene was completely cleaned.  My sister-in-law has rocked many a boat in the Utah State Legislature and has taken the matter Federal. I am concerned for her. Thankfully, I believe there are changes going on at the Federal level and something could be done to make sure someone is held accountable and so this does not happen again. (I understand my niece was not the first.) I worry about my sister. She has made a few enemies for sure. My hats off to anyone who takes the system on to try and do the right thing. It is a shame there are not more of them. I am just being honest.
