Why Are Youth in Foster Care Vulnerable to Human Trafficking?

Over 500,000 youth reside in foster care in the United States. For a child, separation from their biological family can be traumatic.

    Sex trafficking in Sonoma county. They work in the human services Department, at all level, working with the community and families to coordinate individual plans. Homelessness, getting people into situations were they are exploited. Fake friends who works as social workers or related too become drug dealers to easily sell or use substances, A simple beer and joint is a good cover for criminals and you could just assume there friendly. They target at risk youth and families, working with non profit organizations to control care. My experience was that being homeless after being adopted and having no alternative led me to seek out shelters and non profits. Were they can maintain communication between other providers. You'd be surprised how many young adults leave home to sell there families drugs in shelters..I was trafficking by my employer who knew my social worker while living in a shelter they planned on my working for them as a counselor and I'd move into their house. Promising me cars money and women and eventually a life. All I had to do was sexual favors and id be he's and ended up r*** me. I couldn't go to the police bc its a small town and everything's connected. When I sought legal help they said it was a difficult case and they wouldnt take it. The most they could do was to prove that the social worker was negligent bc I told them and they didn't help or respond to the r*** basically would break there county system if they had to hold multiple people accountable

    Great post. This video should be redone and updated yearly. Some great info to add as well could be the % of foster & aged out youth and young adults that make up, as much as we know, those being trafficked. It is upwards of 60%. So, the lack of support for aging out young adults if an awareness need.

    I have worked around the area of sex abuse for many years and I think it is a sad state of society where people seem less aware of the sexual abuse of boys and men, though it's talked about more nowadays. Sexual abuse of young males is as high as it is for young females and no less relevant. From experience 20+ year old men rarely report sex abuse for fear of the stigma and shaming from their peers and society. There needs to be far more support for victims of sex abuse.

    I know it's not the point, but Taylor is super cute. I have known several guys who identify as at the least "predominantly heterosexual" who were coerced/kept in situations and relationships with men who used safety/shelter/food/drugs and a general lifestyle of monetary tethering to hold control over them. Some guys didn't even know that was what was going on until they're out of it. It leaves alot of guys broken and stumbling through life.

There are many reasons for this, some complex, but I'm glad the information is getting out there more. It's important. For those who have been harmed in this way, I am so sorry. Know that you have sisters speaking up for you.

      Bs. There are many women in the comments. And if not, then this small comment section not the representative of the entire female population. And so many women speak and bring up the case male sexual abuse (by men or women) and male sex trafficking. And it's mostly men who comment "he enjoyed it" or "he was having a time of his life" when a case of male being r 8Aped or molested, especially by a woman, comes up. Or they comment "gay" and even worse things when the perpetrator is male. And you, a man, obviously know how horrible most straight men treat and view gay men. Women always have had more empathy than men, for victims of any gender. What you said is pure bs.

When it was found out by my parents, I got beaten and called everything from f@**et to q***r. That was the day my life as a human in my parent's house ended. You know, because obviously a 6-year-old understands what is going on. On top of being sexualized, as my counselor put it at such a young age, the rest of my younger years was hell.
