"Child sex trafficking is a clandestine crime that has increasingly moved off the streets and online over the last decade. However, even when information about these crimes is brought to the attention of law enforcement, victims can still be treated as “disposable people” by the system meant to protect them.
In recent years, law enforcement has become more aware of how social media is used by sex traffickers to target, groom, and recruit victims. Stories about sex trafficking through Facebook and Instagram, dating websites like OkCupid and Tinder, and apps like Kik messenger and SnapChat are becoming increasingly common.
However, as the following story suggests, there is little awareness of how these social media platforms can be used to identify victims, much less what happens to these victims post- “rescue.”
On May 29, 2017, Sandra Sparks, Executive Director of ERASE Child Trafficking, was tagged in an anonymous tip on her organization’s Facebook page about an “underage runaway” in Louisiana who was seen having sex with an “old man” in his truck. She was linked to the girl’s social media account."
