I remember digging into this somewhat and was surprised how prevalent it was; even in the uk, us and canada.

Once you know the current code words for the gender, type of slave, and job, you can even use Google to search and find open sites.

It was depressing to see but I honestly could not see what could be done. The fact it is done so openly and with so much money involved, I found it hard to believe that law enforcement was clueless if not complicit in it.

Well, don't hold back. Open a window for us into that realm. If it was that "open" would it not be on the radar of agencies combating the human trafficing?

The agencies doing that have their hands more than full, there are many more cases that they know about than that they have personnel to act on because politically it isn't a huge priority so there aren't funds enough to make this go away once and for all.

Chinese get smuggled by the truckload into Western Europe and the only time you will hear about it is if they end up suffocating, which makes it newsworthy. And that's just one example of many. I'm against the death penalty but human traffickers make me doubt my stance on that.

I think a lot of journalists and reporters would be interested. Have you thought about sending in a tip?
What are these sites?
