Operation Cross Country finds 59 child trafficking victims, 59 missing kids
Over 125 were arrested during the two-week child exploitation operation
Analyst: 300K children trafficked yearly, U.S. accounts for 5.1% of them
“Human trafficking is a grave violation of human rights that preys on the most vulnerable members of our society,” FBI Director Christopher Wray said in a statement. “The FBI’s actions against this threat never waver, as we continue to send our message that these atrocities will not be tolerated.”
“About 300,000 children are trafficked every year across the world,” said NewsNation national security analyst Tracy Walder. “The U.S. only accounts for about 5.1% of those children that are trafficked.”
FBI Child Exploitation and Human Trafficking Task Forces across the country work throughout the year to locate victims and their traffickers. Walder said operations like these, which have gone on for nearly two decades, are important because they’re not only reuniting children with their families but also spreading public awareness.
