Report: Hundreds forced into labor, sex in Ohio !

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -- About 1,000 American-born children are forced into the sex trade in Ohio every year and about 800 immigrants are sexually exploited and pushed into sweatshop-type jobs, a new report on human trafficking in the state said Wednesday.

Ohio's weak laws on human trafficking, its growing demand for cheap labor and its proximity to the Canadian border are key contributors to the illegal activity, according to a report by the Trafficking in Persons Study Commission.

2. They have plans on invading the US

It's their plan for a surprise counter-attack against a US invasion of Canada. I think it wise for us to attack them before they can launch their surprise counter-attack to our attack. But then, they may already have plans in place to launch a counter attack against our attack which is designed to defeat them before they can launch a counter-attack against our main attack.

5. "About 1,000 American-born children are forced into the sex trade in Ohio every year"

WTF? Why are pedophile heads not rolling in the streets? 1000 sure as fuck seems like a lot to me. And no real comments in this thread? No one give a fuck?

6. I was going to say "Well, no one's forcing me into labor OR sex, that's for sure"

but really, this article says Toledo is a hotbed for child sex trafficking? Because they bring the kids into the country from Windsor after flying them into Toronto?

All this stuff must be damn well hidden. Very freaky.
