Disappearance of migrant children in the EU
Between 2018 and 2020, over 18 000 migrant and refugee children were reported as missing in Europe. It is
feared that many may have been exploited and abused for sexual or labour purposes. The European Parliament
has repeatedly stressed the need to address the disappearance of migrant children in the EU. The conflict in
Ukraine and the subsequent mass displacement of people have only made the situation worse, creating fertile
ground for criminal networks to take advantage of vulnerable people, especially children.
Likely all children who migrate using the Balkans route to cross Europe are subjected to violence which threatens their physical or emotional survival
According to children’s testimonies, police at the borders are the most common perpetrators, as well as smugglers they rely on to cross borders
Children report smugglers sometimes kill or leave children and adults in conditions they would not be able to survive on their own, and the dead bodies then remain to be seen by other children travelling on the same route
The deterrence and containment policies prioritised by the European Union and countries along the Balkans route are the cause of the violence
Inadequate and often inhumane reception conditions in prison-like camps exacerbate the suffering of children, and the lack of adequate mental health support increases the risk of harm.
Do you think I’m new at this?

The World Council for Health is a pseudo-medical organisation dedicated to spreading misinformation about COVID-19 vaccines and promoting fake COVID-19 treatments. The organization's online appearance is that of a mainstream health organization, though it promotes discredited treatments and is anti-vaccination. Wikipedia
THANK YOU 😊
Always research your source.

I agree we should protect kids from all physical, psychological and spiritual abusive environments.
Sometimes I wonder how it is to live in a fantasy world detached from reality.

un report
According to the Report, the most common form of human trafficking (79%) is sexual exploitation. The victims of sexual exploitation are predominantly women and girls. Surprisingly, in 30% of the countries which provided information on the gender of traffickers, women make up the largest proportion of traffickers. In some parts of the world, women trafficking women is the norm.
The second most common form of human trafficking is forced labour (18%), although this may be a misrepresentation because forced labour is less frequently detected and reported than trafficking for sexual exploitation.
Worldwide, almost 20% of all trafficking victims are children. However, in some parts of Africa and the Mekong region, children are the majority (up to 100% in parts of West Africa).
as a survivor of childhood abuse i've always had a vested interest in this kind of topic so its very emotional and i'll always be blunt..
I’ve identified and reported it first hand twice in my career thanks to that training.

Are people in this thread actually arguing that human trafficking isn’t a thing because some aggregated information is compiled by a group deemed a spreader of misinformation due to their opinion on something else?
Or are they just p!ssing because their bladder is full?

This is very scary to me, I can't believe that evil people like that exist!
And there in lies the problem. Most people can't believe that psychopaths
have been running the world for a very long time. And almost all of the
rest simply won't believe it. Leaving a small percent of the population
who know. And that percent is divided by those who at some point figured
it out. And a rare few who were raised that way and have known since they
were very young. That the people running this world aren't normal people.
Call them psychopaths, nut jobs, narcissists you name it. But efen the Bible has
a lot to say about them. They're referrenced as THE WICKED but the point
is, they gravitate to places of power naturally. What we're experiencing now
is a time when they have accumulated and agreed. Now cruelty will be common
place under their dominance.
