Domestic Child Trafficking…Save Our Children!
The focus of this program is on
children abducted in the U.S. Children
are abducted for sexual exploitation and organ harvesting, fueling a 32 billion
dollar a year business. Children of upper class families are
targeted as well as those from far less affluent areas, they are professionally
abducted from their homes, playgrounds, streets or while on vacation out of the
country – almost always without a trace. Unfortunately, if an
abduction is not witnessed or in evidence, even AFTER 24 hours U.S. law
enforcement often treats the case as a missing child, not as a kidnapping which
often results in far less intensive investigation.
The rescue team from Children’s Rescue Alliance is comprised
entirely of former Special Forces and Strategic Specialists, who rescue
kidnapped children who are trafficked from and in the United States.
The panel will be moderated by Los Angeles Times Columnist Sandy
Banks; panelists consist of State Senator Holly Mitchell; Alex Riggs,
Children’s Rescue Alliance Founder; Dr. Talia Witkowski, Children’s Rescue
Alliance Intervention & Counseling and Sara Train, Manager LA Gay &
Lesbian Center’s SPIN project.
