Human trafficking is a thriving industry because of an unending supply of vulnerable people and the increasing demand of buyers. It is hidden in plain sight. It is an overwhelming complex problem because of overlapping issues like: runaways, foster care, financially desperate, drug addiction, broken families, ignorance, etc.
