Fourth Short Quiz – Sex Trafficking WITHIN the U.S.

Post by johnkarls »

.
NB: The THIRD Short Quiz focused on INTERNATIONAL Sex Trafficking INTO the U.S. – this FOURTH Short Quiz focuses on Sex Trafficking WITHIN the U.S., what parents and grandparents need to do to protect their adolescent loved ones from being trafficked.

1. Have you ever heard of the “con game” called “bait and switch”? [Please keep this question in mind as you read through this quiz.]

2. Have you ever seen Liam Neeson’s famous movie “Taken” (2008) – as distinguished from his “Taken 2” (2012) and “Taken 3” (2014)?

3. BTW, was the “Taken” movie franchise so popular that NBC continued it as a TV series that premiered in 2017 with Clive Standen taking the place of Liam Neeson?

4. In the original “Taken” movie, was the daughter of Liam Neeson’s character kidnapped by International Organized Crime (Albanian Sex Traffickers, in this case) and auctioned off to “Ali, an Arab Bidder” who was suitably old, grossly overweight, etc.?

5. Even though the kidnapping took place in Paris where the daughter of Liam Neeson’s character, accompanied only by a female school friend, were vacationing unchaperoned – is this a “textbook case” of Sex Trafficking WITHIN a country?

6. In other words, are the principles (irony intended) the same whether the location was Paris or an American city?

7. Were the daughter and female school friend befriended at Charles de Gaulle airport by a seemingly-charming young Frenchman who, after striking up a conversation, suggested sharing a taxi in order to save money?

8. Before they separated, did the seemingly-charming young Frenchman obtain the address at which the daughter and female school friend were staying?

9. Within hours, had the daughter and female school friend been kidnapped by Albanian thugs who confined them with a multitude of other young females who had been similarly kidnapped?

10. For the daughter, was the substitution of “Ali, the Arab” for the seemingly-charming young Frenchman (not to mention the substitution of “slavery” for “comradery”) a classic example of “bait and switch” (ref. Q-1)?

11. BTW, did the daughter’s female school friend die while in custody of the Albanian Sex Traffickers?

12. But did Liam Neeson’s skills as a long-time undercover CIA agent save his daughter?

13. What about classic Sex Trafficking WITHIN the United States?

14. Does it also typically involve a seemingly-charming “heart throb” outsider who begins fawning over the victim?

15. HOWEVER, is the victim typically identified from her social-media posts???

16. AND LIKE THE OVERWHELMING-MAJORITY OF AMERICAN ADOLESCENTS, does the victim’s social-media posts show any doubts about her beauty, popularity, etc.?

17. And does Organized Crime’s seemingly-charming “heart throb” outsider strike up a seemingly-casual acquaintance in which his fawning features reassurances about her doubts – saying that she is the most-beautiful, most-witty, etc., person he has ever met???

18. Does the victim usually feel shame over having been hoodwinked???

19. Is it this shame that often, if not usually, prevents the victim from escaping and returning to her family???!!!

20. And when she has been separated from Organized Crime’s seemingly-charming “heart throb” and sold to Organized Crime’s customer, has she been a victim of the classic “bait and switch” con game (ref. Q-1)???

21. Is education of our adolescents the best way to guard against their being Sex Trafficked???

22. Or is there a lot to be said for the ancient custom in many cultures of “arranged marriages”???

23. Or at least knowing the “friends” with whom your adolescent loved one is associating???

24. And what about the way of combatting Sex Trafficking by Organized Crime ACROSS international borders of long jail sentences for the “top dogs” rather than underlings who are themselves typically Sex Slaves who can easily be replaced??? Which means, of course, getting rid of corruption, making prosecutions a priority, effective protection of victims whose testimony is needed for prosecution, etc., etc.???

25. BTW, re Q-4 & Q-5, what was the reason for the claim in Q-5 that “this is a ‘textbook case’ of Sex Trafficking WITHIN a country” if, per Q-4, the Paris kidnappers were “Albanian Sex Traffickers” and the daughter was “auctioned off to ‘Ali, an Arab bidder’ who was suitably old, grossly overweight, etc.”???
