Chong Kim: A Trafficking Survivor’s Dramatic Story
Quote:
Handcuffed to a doorknob for months by a man she originally thought was her boyfriend. Then handed over to a middle-aged woman who transferred her to traffickers in Las Vegas. Held there with other victims in an abandoned warehouse and forced to work as a teen prostitute. Taken back and forth across the country for the same purposes.
This is Chong Kim’s dramatic story from 1995 until the day she escaped in 1997. In the interview found below she provides chilling insight into how organized crime runs its sex trafficking operations in the US. Women and children are being enslaved to satisfy the twisted desires of clients and others (via ****ography). It’s about a grotesque need for power and control, Kim says.
The fact these kind of things happen, and aren't at all discovered just shows how silly or weak the justice system is. I discovered her story after watching Abduction of Eden on Netflix - which was where the producers drew inspiration from. I definitely recommend the film, as it clearly depicts how awful life for these women are and realistically brings an awareness needed - as this could be happening near where you live and potentially left unnoticed.
ive seen some stories but what i often wonder is if some of them are just normal people who were abducted form the streets - case that'd be some scary **** > knowing that we could be a part of this cruelty
Happy she escaped. You would think it's easy to just run away but nope, sadly not.
But in the US tho? Why does the government not do anything? If you're able to spy other countries citizens i'm pretty sure you're able to find those assholes keeping people as slaves in your own country

I know, that's exactly what persuaded Kim to tell her story.

At first Kim was afraid to share her story; she thought people wouldn't believe her. "It took me nearly 10 years to come out with my story. I didn't even know what it was called," she said. But after hearing an official at a conference on human trafficking say U.S. citizens weren't being trafficked, Kim decided to speak out. "I felt like I had to stand up and do something. I can't do nothing," Kim said. "I feel every time I speak I speak for the 1,000 voices that were tortured and murdered."

cause i think its not a 'priority' in their minds, they dont care about humans rights issues (obviously) when they have other things to worry about
