Anna was a twelve year old girl when she ran away from home and not long after was she grabbed by a trafficker named Ted. This happens to many young girls, some just walking home get taken, others made to think they can trust a man and the forced into trafficking. Many girls in the us and all over world get their lives taken away from them with no choice. This happened to Anna. When she was grabbed off the street she never agreed to get into the trafficker's car he forced her to get in. He drove for a while and made Anna leave all of what she knew. Ted regularly beat Anna and made her have sex with random truckers who would pay to have sex with Anna. "One time when I wanted to leave, he filled up the bathtub with water, poured a bottle of gin into it and made me sit in it with open sores. More than once, he would hold a gun to my head and tell me I had to do sex like he wanted for as long as he wanted or he would blow my head off." This was something that Anna shared. As you can see traffickers do not care the age of their victims all they care about is how much money they can make off of one girl before she is no longer "good" meaning no longer able to have sex with men due to the fact that they are either over drugged or close to dying and even have diseases. So many girls try to run away but are too afraid because they know they can never leave the hell they live in. Anna is not the only girl this has happened to there are many other girls that share their stories so people can see that we need to do more to help these victims.
