unfortunately this is all to common going back decadestoday though with seeming a little more awareness of this coupled with human trafficking patent(s) and or guardians would pay more attention to young kids as in sacrifice your own good time stuff ie partying, smoking bud with friends etc and communicate constructively and objectively with your offspring.police help by crime prevention information awareness and so on..forever vigilant
