Instead of being pedants, can we change the thread title to “child trafficking is a thing…but definitely not amongst weird pizza and ping pong loving artists in Washington DC that openly post pro pedo stuff in their Insta pages”? Or can we start a new thread and be told off for not using an existing thread? I mean seriously...I ask this often, but why not just shut down this forum if it needs a hero to save us daily?
Of course, child trafficking is a real thing. But Pizzagate (and Qanon) are not real things. They're just the Russians cooking people.
Re the post above:
Washington, DC – The United States Marshals Service (USMS), along with state and local agencies in 16 federal judicial districts and geographical locations across the U.S., led a 10-week national operation that resulted in the recovery or safe location of 225 endangered missing children, which includes runaways and those abducted by non-custodial persons.
Most of the kids recovered were runaways from home, and children taken by parents locked in custody disputes, without the permission of the parent who had custody.
With technical assistance from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC), Operation We Will Find You resulted in the recovery of 169 children and the safe location of 56 children. During the operation, the U.S. Marshals Service referred 28 cases to law enforcement agencies for further investigation of crimes such as drugs and weapons, sex trafficking, and sex offender violations. Law enforcement reported allegations of trafficking in over 40 cases the U.S. Marshals Service assisted with. Of the cases closed, 86% were endangered runaways, nearly 9% were family abductions, and 5% were considered otherwise missing. The youngest child recovered was six months old. Additionally, of the missing children recovered, 62 percent were recovered within seven days of the U.S. Marshals Service assisting with the case.

While some charges were laid for sex trafficking, the above is not evidence of some Machiavellian sex trafficking ring. Its mainly finding kids who ran away from home, or who were abducted by the (non custodial) parent in defiance of Family court orders.
