A lot of people say that the Houston area is the central hub of human trafficking in the US, but I always wonder if they're counting the trafficking that provides children to the elite. I doubt there's public data for that.

It's ALL of Texas.

Remember that story in the news a year or so ago about a high school girl who "slept with 25 football players in the bathroom" ? Headlines specifically said she "slept with 25" boys/men but upon actually reading the horrific story the mom stated that the girl was a trafficking survivor and what happened was she was pressured to sleep with one player (or something like that) and the rest of the team saw how accessible she was (dissocistion, learned behavior) and all took their turns... I specifically remember this story because it was so horrifying and this was way before the trafficking stuff became mainstream. I thought it was weird that it was in Texas, that the mom got her back, that it seemed like such a real and normal thing. And of course the media's disgusting sexism portraying the girl as a slut instead of a massive victim to previous trafficking and arguable rape.

But do you think it includes the children for the elite? I'm thinking in terms of the "organic" street crime vs the establishment crime. Surely, there aren't hard stats out there about how many children people like HRC consume annually.
