re: Baton Rouge / dehnam area - missing 15 yo girl

I think that you and I may differ on the definition of "coerced/slavery"

I'm sure there aren't many child sex workers who have been violently bonded into that life.

In the sport I coach, we are taught how victims can be "groomed" for abuse and manipulation. We are taught the telltale signs of grooming and how to set policies in place to prevent coaches from having that power over a victim.

Grooming a victim doesn't require violence but can nonetheless place a victim in a sort of psychological bondage where the victim sees no alternative to "get by" without relying on their abuser.

Predators groom troubled teens for future manipulation by feeding the child's hatred for rules and enabling drug abuse and risky sex.

The key is not letting predators hold power whether violent or psychological over their victims.
