That age old institution probably older than prostitution is still alive and thriving. In an article posted by ABC news traffickers, not uncommon to Haiti, are now aggressively moving into action to kidnap children following that countries devastating earthquake. It has been heart warming to watch the outpouring of support from all over the world that has occurred during this time for this tiny island nation, but how sad it is that those who would take advantage of fellow human beings would spend just as much energy and resources springing into action to enslave a child. According to human trafficking statistics over 1 million children per year are enslaved in the commercial sex trade and this doesn't include the numbers of women that are enslaved in this trade as well. Church we have a job to do and we need to get involved in stopping this modern day tragedy.
