Ever hear of the term "Familial child sex trafficking"?
I hadn't.
I'm not familiar with it, but I'm guessing it's where a child's own parents or other relatives sell them to traffickers? Perhaps after grooming or abusing that child themselves first? Surely the worst kind of betrayal.
I am reminded of this verse in Leviticus:
Do not prostitute thy daughter, to cause her to be a whore; lest the land fall to whoredom, and the land become full of wickedness. (Leviticus 19:29)
Was that an ancient form of trafficking? I'm sure it went on in Biblical times, especially in the temples of Baal and other pagan religious cults that used sex in their religious rituals. Certainly, modern-day trafficking is causing the land of America, and doubtless many other countries as well, to become full of wickedness!
