Human Trafficking Resources CA Counseling Children

By Donna Phillips


While the slave trade involves adults and children, most often there are fewer adults. As such, most human trafficking resources CA are aimed towards younger individuals. Still, there are local and national organizations which work to counsel adults effected by the sex industry or slave trade in North America.

Most children involved in child trafficking and the slave trade are under the age of 15. In fact, the average age of a child slave is that of 13. Although, there are many who claim to have been involved since before being able to walk. Current statistics show that more than 20K children under the age of 18 are involved whether involuntarily or voluntarily in the sex trade and child slave industry.

While the life expectancy of girls in this trade range from 7 to 14 years from the date of abduction, there are a few lucky ones. Whether found after being dumped, or having been able to escape, these individuals often need a great deal of counseling, love and support before being able to return to daily life.

In almost all cases, these young women were born to mothers or couples who had been paid to give birth to a child only to relinquish the child to someone involved in the child sex trade. Whether to star in pornographic pictures and film, or sold for sex, most of these individuals were exposed to assault, rape, starvation, torture, false imprisonment and emotional and physical abuse on a daily basis.

One organization that of the FACESS or Freeing American Children from Exploitation and Sexual Slavery is based in California its trying to help. Whereas, there are also local organization in the State whom are working to counsel those who have broken free from these bonds. In one case, there is an escapee who has become a therapist offering assistance to others who have found a way to freedom.

As such, counseling is often a prerequisite for prevention of ongoing mental and physical illness as well as suicide. For, once having lived through such horrific conditions, especially at such a young and tender age, it can often be impossible to forget the horrors that has been placed upon oneself and others.

While some boys have been brought into the system, most often to teach the girls about sex, statistics show that the trade is 80% female, whether applying to adults or girls. As such, it is often female children whom are abducted or sold into the system. Whereas, at times the slave masters will bring in sons to work in the industry whether with or without consent of the male child.

Most often, these girls are kidnapped or born into the system at as an early age as possible. For example, some may very well be as young as 2 to 3 years old while others may be submitted at birth. In some instances, the children are taught that the slave master is actually a biological father whether or not that might be the case. Thus, one more reason a child may never try to escape the system without the help of an outside force.
