Dunno where he was going with that, but you can never tell with people nowadays. I once had a guy(security guard) keep making a claim that I was homeless when I was in the hospital(in Los Angeles of all places) and saying he was going to have me taken to some facility. It’s crazy how rampant this stuff is and how easy it is for them to get away with it if the person doesn’t know enough people to notice something is wrong. Whenever there is a new staff person Im like “who are you? where you from?” It definitely makes me wonder if I’ve ever come into contact with someone at a restaurant like that who is actually a trafficking victim.Ĭaptain Blackceo: I remember reading about a woman who met a guy online on a dating site and ended up being held captive in his house and raped for months. Funny not funny but I do find myself paying attention to that now whenever I go to my usual eateries to make sure Im not noticing that the staff isn’t frequently new faces.
They had the victims sleeping on mattresses in the basement and were essentially using them for free labor and preparing them to work for those who bought them for free or cheap as hell labor and sex slavery. So he became suspicious and sure enough it was a sort of depot stop for trafficking victims. Well, he began to notice that every time he went into the restaurant there were always new servers, bus boys, cash register attendants. He had taken extended leave from work and liked to go to this Chinese restaurant for lunch often. My friend (Fed) told me that one time he busted an operation in his own neighborhood. But, other big sporting events and/or special events period raises the likelihood of trafficking to occur in higher numbers. Lots of Feds are there on sting operations and looking for indications of trafficking. The Super Bowl is one of the most high sex trafficking events. Urban areas are popular because typically they have multiple modes of transportation, an international airport and easy entry and exit access points with highways. Geographically, there are various factors. LGBT population, refugees, undocumented persons, runaway youth, the poor.
