An informal survey of major newspapers conducted by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services found 105 reports of babies abandoned in public places in 1998, of whom 33 were found dead ( Grossman). Although the leader of children abandonment in garbage cans, parking lots and other unsafe places is Texas, legislators in 35 states have passed so-called Baby Moses laws. "The idea of this law is that it discourages mothers from taking this drastic action in the first place," said Dan Nelson, press secretary for Brulte (qtd. in Sussman). The principle of functioning of Baby Moses law is very similar everywhere.
research group Protection Project researched that about two million women are sold into sex trade every year. Sen. Barbara Mikulski said “No human being anywhere in the world should be regarded as a commodity” (Sex slavery 1). Almost fifteen thousand young girls are trafficked from Mexico each year into United States illegally. We need to build homes like “Home of Hope” (Goodson 2) in South Africa, were they take in exploited children and provide them with rehabilitation, shelter and food. We need to help governments and persuade them to enforce rules to stop sexual prostitution especially in places like Zimbabwe, Sudan, Liberia and Sierra Leone.

Ohio passed Senate Bill 10 and Senate Bill 97 in 2009 in an effort to comply with federal legislation, (Office of the Ohio Public Defender). Senate Bills 10 ad 97 organized sex offender classifications into 3 tiers. Classification now is solely based on the offense of conviction; a person’s likelihood to reoffend will no longer be considered, (Office of the Ohio Public Defender). A tier one offender has to register for 15 years for adults and 10 years for juveniles and verify their address annually, (Office of Justice Programs). Tier two offenders have to register for 25 years for adults and 20 years of juveniles and verify their address every 180 days, (Office of Justice Programs).
Hannah McLeod Mr. Ziehm American Literature 5 February 2012 Not For Sale The United States serves as a passage way and harbor of many human traffickers throughout the nation, “each year about 17,500 individuals are brought into the United States and held against their will as victims of human trafficking” (Talati 1). Human trafficking may be defined as the acquiring of humans as unwilling subjects for the purpose of making a profit. Next to the drug industry, human trafficking is now the most profitable and fastest growing criminal industry in the world (Anderson 8). This industry is today’s modern time slavery. Although the severity of this situation is not fully known because of its secrecy, organizations are working towards this goal
Paying the same tuition as illegal immigrants pay takes away citizens’ right to exclusively obtain American education for one they or their parents are taxpayer to fund the school, and two illegal immigrants are in the United States illegally. Furthermore, higher education is a federal public benefit because colleges and universities receive federal funding, and illegal immigrants aren’t eligible for federal benefits (Trevizo 2). A report on June 28, 2011, that the Maryland version of the Dream Act which awards college tuition benefits to illegal aliens was in peril of repeal due to the frustration of Marylanders with illegal immigration (Walsh 2). It is essential that the state policy allows verification on who qualifies for in-state tuition and who doesn’t in order to prevent undocumented students taking seats away from legal residents (Trevizo 4). If illegal aliens are allowed to attend public higher education, higher tuition price is a must.
Labor trafficking accounted for 12 percent of incidents, and other or unknown forms of human trafficking made up the remaining five percent; about a third of these incidents involved sex trafficking of children (January 2009). A shocking 92 percent of women involved in sex trafficking activities used drugs and alcohol to cope with their experiences and a half of those women didn’t use drugs or alcohol until they entered the sex industry (Raymond and Hughes, 12). 43 percent of U.S. women tried to leave the sex industry, but 27 percent of those women said that it was hard to leave because of drug addictions, economic necessity, and pimps that beat or threatened them and their
