The Huff Post (US) reports on the issue of child sex trafficking and its association with foster care. It's an ugly secret that many in the 21st century simply do not know about. It is also an ugly dark secret that many today wish to ignore. Yet, today's children are at risk more than ever. For children in foster care, it is an ever present danger. Sadly, the search for love for many children in foster care leads to a road of sexual exploitation. Foster children often are in need of love, yet do not know what a healthy and loving relationship is. With no one to show them early in their lives what true unconditional or healthy loving relationships are, children in foster care mistakenly seek it out, often times online. What many do not know, though, is that there are sexual predators online that are waiting for these foster children. These sexual predators know that foster children are particularly vulnerable to this kind of assault. These predators are often luring these children into a horrific web of child sex trafficking.
