Operation Cross Country—a three-day nationwide enforcement action focusing on underage victims of prostitution—has concluded with the recovery of 105 sexually exploited children and the arrests of 150 pimps and other individuals.​
The sweep took place in 76 cities and was carried out by the FBI in partnership with local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies, and the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) as part of the Bureau’s Innocence Lost National Initiative. It is the seventh and largest such enforcement action to date.

I hope at some point it is revealed where these children came from ,i.e are any of them listed as officially missing, or is this a case of parental knowledge or involvement.
 
Hopefully we will see some of these missing kids posted under "Located: Safe" section of this website. Great news!!
 
Our news just said that most of the children came from foster care or were runaways. They also said that more than 100 of the 150 arrests were here in Wisconsin. That can't be right, can it?

The article at the msnbc link stated many of the kids were from foster homes. It makes you wonder how often foster children are reported missing or if their names just get lost in the system.

Glad they rescued these kids, I hope they do more of these stings.
 
It looks like kids pimping out kids to me. Too much of this crap happening now. JMO
 
The Wisconsin Department of Justice announced Monday that Wisconsin officials participated in a large-scale, FBI-led child sex trafficking operation that rescued 10 children.

The operation is known nationwide as Operation Cross Country VII, and the three-day operation in Wisconsin was conducted in the areas of Milwaukee, Madison, Wisconsin Dells and the Fox Valley, according to the release.

Officials said ten children were rescued, which is third in the nation, and 100 suspects were arrested in Wisconsin as part of the operation.

So happy to see this, especially in Oakland. Oakland recently spent a year or two and were finally successful at closing down a couple of hotels with child prostitutes.

The FBI is surely a big help to these cities. It at least makes their job easier to get some of it stopped.

I have a feeling most of these kids were never reported missing.
