For the record, I was speaking about America.

Globally, you're much more likely to be forced into manual labor than sex slavery (child or adult).

*ETA: I know only the basics about this story, but the data show that kids who are kidnapped in a way similar to this movie are typically used for labor or as child soldiers and not sex slaves.

There are 85k unaccompanied minors entering the US every year. No one knows what is happening to them after they cross the border because no resources exist to do so. Strong evidence supports rape, prostitution and exploitation are common based on reports from illegals, but fear of the cartels makes the reporting on this group poor. Mexico is one of the largest producers of child porn now because the cartels have realized the revenue possibilities and have access to the migrants who flow from central and south america to the US yearly.

In addition to the illegal trafficking issue, according to the FBI 365k US children went missing in 2020. 90% of those reported as missing are found within one year, but of those returned 18% were victims of sexual abuse during their time away from their families.

The US is the #1 market for child porn globally and constitutes a multi billion dollar market domestically that some groups are now estimating exceeds revenue for the drug trade. In 2021 there were 29.3M reports of child sexual abuse in the US alone.

This isn't just a run away issue or a teens on heroin getting into prostitution situation and framing it as a right wing conspiracy dooms millions of children to horrible trauma and suffering because those on the left then dismiss it out of hand.
