Sex-trafficking reaps $99,000,000,000 of the $150,000,000,000 illegal human trafficking industry.  Of the number trafficked, children account for 30%, mostly girls. https://www.unodc.org/

Child pornography involves the same violent force and damage as child-sex-trafficking, and is considered "the new drug" because of  its prevalence; it is equivalent in gravity of offense.  The "customers" drive this "market," but the MAKERS--child-trafficker and porn-maker do the abuse and torture to force child performance for PROFIT.

Few outside the Underworld and the Dark Web understand what REALLY happens to a child in sex-traffcking; it isn't "just sex."   A child must accommodate average 10-12 men/day, so first his/her psyche/spirit must be broken or s/he will not cooperate. Days of repeated gang-rape traumatizes them into submission.  Amphetamines MUST be administered because even an adult cannot keep up with 10-12 "customers" in a day. The average life expectancy of a trafficked child is 7 years www.ncfh.org/uploads/3/8/6/8/38685499/domestic_minor_sex_trafficking.pdf  Why? Beatings for cooperation by trafficker and customer, HIV eventually, no medical care for broken bones, illness, or wounds, little food, forced drug addiction, and finally, sadistic torture for gratification of customers or traffickers' anger if the money goal was not met.

My Petition goal:  A mandatory death penalty for all adult, proven, sex-traffickers, porn-makers, and rapists of children under 12 years old.
