Punishment for human trafficing should be equal to murder....maybe being dead would be better than sold into sex trade, COMEON PEOPLE

I am very glad that something can be done. Its unbelievable that people are so lost in their own little world that they put the value of a persons body so cheap. It looks like maybe more stories about this happening should be publized or the news so younger people would be more aware of not trusting strangers and going to the law if they encounter things like that or hear of it in ther neighorhood or somewhere else. The law needs to know the situation and conversation with facts if known. They need to know what you know and they can fill in the information needed. Just put more value on your life and don't be a puppet for anyone.
