Of all those links you provided not a single one comes from law enforcement-grant agencies, think tanks, political action groups and some I don't know what their function is.
Crime statistics come from the FBI not grant agencies begging for money and attaching themselves to the department of Justice-which is not a law enforcement agency.
Of the top 25 most wanted for crime against children not a single one has any connection whatsoever to human trafficking of sex slaves. Of the 80 outstanding warrants in Tennessee for crimes against children not a single one has any connection whatsoever to human trafficking of sex slaves.
In 2012 the Tennessee general assembly reclassified some laws on transportation of minors across state lines in custody disputes to align it's self with the federal statutes. This was done because so many of these cases deal with illegals and only the federal government can deport persons. Grant agencies looking for federal money jumped on this as a 'massive rise in human trafficking' in Tennessee and put out bizarre statistics to the media in order to get federal money. That is where these so called 'hubs of child sex rings' comes from.
Just like the global warning craze when groups put out doom *advertiser censored* of how the Earth was about fall apart unless the Feds give us more money to study this soon to be end of the world.
A good example is 'an estimated 300,000 children are being prostituted as sex slaves' in America. This come from the link you posted!
That is preposterous in the extreme. How can anyone believe that?
As far as Tabitha Tuders goes another inmate at Riverbend has confessed. Two inmates at Tiptonville confessed some months ago. They will be checked out however the chances are slim to none they even know about the case.
Still trying to put a timeline together for this case however it's is difficult because the investigation was hampered by not having an up to date photo of her for the first 3 days.
A lot of people get upset when Don Aaron says all avenues of the case are still open. They say this because detectives have experience in these matters and teenagers from good homes, with good grades, with both near and future plans leave all there money behind and run away. It happens all the time-that is why she is still listed as a runaway.
This was a massive investigation-and it still is-however there is not one shred of evidence that the child was abducted.
When someone makes a comment like "she was looking forward to an up coming trip to Six Flags so she would not run away" That someone knows nothing about crime or teenage runaways.
When Robin Sax was prosecutor for the State of California, County of Los Angeles she dealt with 1500 or so runaways that make their way to LA every year. She said a solid block-about 1/3rd come from good homes with loving parents, they have good grades, have friends and are basically happy kids.
However many times that is simply an illusion-the kids were miserable, felt trapped and high expectations being shoved upon them they felt that running away was their only hope.
Detectives know that just because parents say they had a good home-the child may think the exact opposite.
Unfortunately some 4,000 teenagers in America commit suicide each year and seldom leave any kind of note as to why. The kind of home they come from seldom makes much difference nor does their grades, their popularity or even their appearance.
The buzzwords 'sex slaves', human trafficking, 'Super gorilla pimps' or 'prostituted kids' is just a way to push the real problems aside instead of confronting them. It's easier for parents to blame abduction then to confront the truth that the child was ignored and became defensive and ran away because they were sick of their constant arguing and felt they were to blame.
