When I was in High School, this woman came to my school to speak about human trafficking. She was actually a victim herself who got out. She talked about how she comes from this very Affluent neighborhood in Michigan, and how human traffickers don't just target poor people/third world citizens. The person who did this to her was actually her neighbor and she was actually living at home during the whole ordeal. Her neighbor threatened to kill her family if she didn't comply. Anyways, she was forced to have sex with random men, and lived in constant fear. Many people are often abducted from the US and placed in another world and forced to do all sorts of tasks. In this woman's case, she was still at home, but was forced to perform sexual acts in different cities and states. Also, Toledo, Ohio is one of the top cities in the nation for human trafficking.

I made an account just to comment on this! haha So I'm sorry if I suck. But, my father was very abusive towards my mother and when I was 15, he killed her and then killed himself. I just wanted to ask if you ever heard of the Victims of Crime Compensation Fund. My lawyer (during the whole custody stuff) told me about it and had me sign up for it. To be honest, I did not know about this until my 18th birthday when I got a letter in the mail (Lots of things went by so fast and were a blur after my parents died). I was so happy and thankful, I could pay for college without too many struggles! I hope you can possibly look into it. Good luck and take care!
