Human trafficking has been going on for a long time, and many people are forcibly relocated to unknown, dark places. Despite numerous declarations by governments of their determination to combat trafficking, it persists, and some countries seem to be aware of this fact.
So we have this whistle-blower who gave a conference denouncing her government as an intermediary in this child trafficking.
In her testimony, the lady states that today, children are sold for their sex. She goes on to say that they were victims of trafficking via a sophisticated network that begins with the recruitment of these children in their country of origin. They are then handed over to a sponsor whose information remains dubious. Some sponsors are traffickers and members of transnational criminal organizations,” she declares.

What happens to children who are supposed to be adopted?
Under Joe Biden’s administration, there was a crisis in which many children were to be welcomed into the United States, but it is estimated that over 85,000 children disappeared. There are rumors that many children are trafficked in this and other countries for dark purposes, by removing them from their homes and placing them in orphanages.
However, these children are not adopted to live a normal child’s life, but rather to be exploited illegally, either to work illegally or to be placed elsewhere. The people who look after these children benefit financially. It’s shocking to see how children are used to generate money. How can a human being use a child for profit? It’s so inhuman to do it. It is possible that governments are indirectly involved in these practices, as long as the money is flowing. Orphaned children who speak neither Spanish nor English, like those in Guatemala, are taken up for adoption and find themselves trapped in places where they can neither express themselves nor ask for help. Unfortunately, many terrible things are happening in this world, and many people seem to ignore it.
Estimated numbers of children trafficked in the USA
The figures are very alarming: it is estimated that in this year alone, over 1,200,000 children have been trafficked. On the other hand, the number of convictions remains very low, with only 5,200 convictions each year in the United States. Around 100,000 children are eligible for adoption, but school-age children aged 5 to 17 are often overlooked, as are younger, disabled children or those who need to be adopted as a group with their siblings.
It should be noted that there are facilitators, individuals who seek to match waiting children with potential parents, both at home and abroad. These people operate in a legal gray area, providing services such as translation and local transport. They play a part in this complex system of child trafficking.
All in all, this whistleblower has committed an act of bravery by denouncing this child trafficking. Thanks to her, many children can be saved and live in more suitable and comfortable conditions.
