Everyone who has anything to do with human trafficking will not be surprised by anything in this article.
Imagine... trucks full of children, orphaned children - scared and hungry children. Promised food, they willingly jump in the back of a truck. To disappear.

Victories - Even if Small
Teen pimp found guilty of human trafficking - Today's Seattle Times (online)
In addition, a program thought lost to 2010 budget cuts in King County has been saved:
"I have great news! The Council was able to allocate $100,000 in the 2010 budget for the Safe Housing and Treatment for Children in Prostitution program through careful reprioritization of expenditures. Options to allow vulnerable youth to escape a life of prostitution are desperately needed-this program will help by providing them with emergency shelter, transitional housing and targeted social services. I was honored to advocate for restoring this specific program's funding in the 2010 budget. As you may know, I have voted in support of this program several times over the past three years, and earlier this year when it was proposed for the chopping block, I advocated for King County to continue our funding commitment, even given the current difficult budgetary outlook. I am tremendously pleased that King County will be able to provide $100,000 to help start this important program to rescue teens from a life of prostitution."

Victory Day
Seattle Against Slavery (SAS) and the Western Washington Coalition Against Human Trafficking (WWCAHT) are sponsoring the film premiere of Victory Day on Wednesday, Dec. 2nd, at 6:30 pm in partnership with the filmmaker, Sean Ramsay, at the Harvard Exit Theatre.
