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 Childrens 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, Childrens Rescue Alliance Founder; Dr. Talia Witkowski, Childrens Rescue Alliance Intervention & Counseling and Sara Train, Manager LA Gay & Lesbian Centers SPIN project.
