Any person that traffics children or anyone should be in prison for life. What those children go through is disgusting and no child should ever have to go through child rape, abuse , torture and murder. Ever !
I disagree. They should be put down. Why keep them alive... they do not cherish life
No one not just children
No human should. Ever.
What if if the girls are getting money , and they have no other way to survive
Agreed. It is just a devastating traped state for a human being.
Dearest CeeJai, in my eyes, you are not just worth a million dollars, you are priceless. Your spirit is strong and beautiful, because it saved you from that pig farmer, and gave you the courage to speak out today. Kudos to you for the work you do today. Yes, you are priceless!
Human trafficking is so sickening and sad. And you thought there was no more slavery!
Everyone pays a property tax which IS enslavement, we are in one giant open air prison!
Produced in 2009 - you should put that in the description.
Why does that even matter...it is still an issue 13 years later...move on
@@shaunanacole i mean... exactly ?
Yep. Produced in 2009, but the info & victims' stories all happened in the 90's. A lot has changed since, and for the better 👍.
And what makes the difference????Has the problem gone away???😒
@@yorkiesweetpea23 not really :/
I am sorry but the lady from Covenant house must be pretty naïve. Would you like a free ticket back to Honduras? Umm, no thanks, that is one of the more unstable countries in Central America. I have a real problem with someone who would think that sending them back to Honduras was the best solution.
'' I was worth ten bucks - today I'm worth a million dollars , or more ... '' : you are amazing , much respect , best wishes and love to you from London . When you are in addiction (as I was) , you think it is forever . Well it's not - and you are such a living example to your peers . Respect , respect , respect to you : thank you .
Kudos and much respect to those willing to reform and change laws surrounding the protection and human rights that we obviously need to revisit in all parts of the world.
Keep helping others, with the raw truth! 🗣️💯🌍
Hey Bridgit?
We all must speak of these horrible crimes. Raise awareness. It seems that procuring victims is easy, and further so easy to sell them.
There's plenty of awareness I just dont think the authorities are doing enough. If a documentary crew could get this information no reason why law enforcement wouldn't know what's going on
@@2CanSam1000 Absolutely right. The fact that the authorities ignore these attrocities is beyond frustration.We need to as humans stand up to the authorities and force them to do something rather than sweep it under the carpet. If a 100,000 people took to the streets in protest they would have to act. Its been happening here in the UK for years now and nothing is done about it. There's a documentary called the r*pe of Britain that highlights this. The people affected by this have a lifetime of pain and yet the authorities ignore it. This is a global issue and should go viral so that governments wake up and act.
@Eric Dee Who peed on your shoes and told you it was raining?
@Eric Dee FBI? What gave me away?
@Eric Dee 😂 goof
Wow unbelievably sad and painful to know this is what some people go through
And what is so sad is it is always the young children both boy n girls 🥺 so damn sad 🙏
Some drastic measures are required to inflict immediate punches to stop human trafficking. Countries are simply nonchalant about it and procedural laws is evidently not producing desired results.
Local cops were worthless on that one! 49 victims!
Seing this, I wish I became a social worker to do something for people in those kind of problems. Empathy is slowly vanishing from this world, which is very sad.
The why is it than when people do come forward, nothing gets done about it. Labor trafficking is rampid in Canada
My traffickers were previously convicted and only served 2 years the first time.
Oh my love, you are not worth a million dollars, you are worth so much more, you are a priceless jewel. Bless you, and stay strong, you are a beautiful soul.
It's funny, earlier this year I spent quite some time at the border on the way to Seattle because of a visa problem I had. I heard the border agents talk to each other. They sounded pretty confident that they knew which type of people were smugglers..
And I'm guessing that was complete B.S right? (about them knowing)
@@himesilva lots of times law enforcement has a good idea, but having enough evidence to convict is tricky
Illuminating and powerful documentary. Just don’t understand why there is even a demand for underage boys and girls. Makes me feel helpless
what a world indeed, this can get very very sad and makes everything in the world look so dark. But it will end, and judgment will be passed by God, even against those who harm kids sexually or physically.
Matthew 18:6
“If anyone causes one of these little ones those who believe in me to stumble, it would be better for them to have a large millstone hung around their neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea"
Let us remember God and look to Jesus for discernment on all things.
Because many are unwilling to focus on prevention.
Many modern countries are following the model to privatize everything, which often results in corruption.
In some states officials have been funnelling young offenders into correctional facilities to boost their bottom line.
When it’s more profitable to let people suffer, then prevention is then avoided.
A human trafficking survey conducted in 2016 - 2017 by a national fact finding commission...published its results in August of 2022...
Nothing has changed in Canada...
Sadly...the same can be said of many a country...
🇿🇦
makes me sick the monsters in my country canada....
Why don't they say "men"? Men would call in to the massage parlour and ask how young are your girls? Men. Men would call in. Men. Not people. Not customers. Men.
Because sometimes women call in!
I worked in the parlours in Windsor (Detroit border) , sometimes women called for their man, a gift etc.
@@meghanfraser1728 for men tho don't make this a joke
Lol narrow minded
@@arohalight3670 am I missing something or misunderstand?
CJ had a close call with "willy" Pickton - Piggy's Palace. She was lucky to have gotten away - many didn't. I wonder what she saw or what happened that scared her so badly.
Premonitions, never ignore the gift of prophecy, for some say it will disappear. 🎈
Canada used to have street prostitutes , now street prostitutes no longer exist - now there are Asian massage parlors
In Canada, and in lots of other countries, it’s mostly done online now.
It’s still a big issues, it’s just changes the way it operates like everything else.
@@tammiRue02 how to find it online? I don't know how it operates
When Canada/ Vancouver had street prostitutes, I got them by car , and as long as the girl is not very beautiful very young , she's not undercover cop ( it can be distinguished by how she's dressed too )
Sometimes everything was done in my car , sometimes I drove the girl to either my house or her house.
Unfortunately, after street prostitutes became history , I dare not go to massage parlor ( in case if police officers go to the store)
Worth pointing out this happens all over the world, unfortunately
is it worth pointing out?... its common sense...
@@jessicafirlotte5608 Some comments make it seem like it's only a problem in Canada. It is worth pointing out to those
@@LukasVokrinek I haven't read one comment suggesting that
@@jessicafirlotte5608perhaps it was just my impression then. Maybe the documentary could have drawn some comparisons with other countries. Would be interesting to note.
Pretty sure they made that very clear.
Bravo and many blessings sisters💪👏💕
I never understood why they sent them back. I know they are children but we are supposed to protect children. Their Citizenship shouldn't matter
I was going to be furious if a documentary about human trafficking in Canada had ignored the ongoing issue of missing and murdered first nations women. Relieved that wasn't the case; horrified but unsurprised that the police were little to no help for folks in that situation.
“Human trafficking is a communitywide problem, and it requires community-wide solutions.”
Strange how people can get in ...when went on a 10 day holiday to stay with relatives was grilled for about an hour!!! It s corruption all the way...
Very nice documentary
Powerful
Always so many ads .... 😖
I had a Canadian penpal who gave me his WhatsApp.
He wanted to meet me but never showed me his picture and told me very little about himself.
That was creepy.
I think I may have had a lucky escape
The government’s could do a whole lot more by stopping this tragedy . Just like with gangs and weapons nothing is done to arrest or remove them from society. Women/children should not have to endure years of suffering at the hands of known human traffickers 😢.
“it’s …then why just like crossing the street”…then why $900?🧐
So sad :(
Question: is the problem better or worse than 2009 when this was made?
What do u think, u know how this trype gos dont u ?
How dumb of a question is that?? Why do people keep feeling the need to point ut when this was made?? Nothing has changed so why does it even matter?
Seriously, 14 to 60 yrs old? WTF?
That's human trafficking for you
I would think trafficking is bigger than guns in Canada you can sell a person 10,000 times
This shouldn't even be an issue in our society anymore, that tells you that there are very powerful people keeping it going, like seriously we can find bin laden in a cave in Afghanistan but we can't figure out who these people are, our priorities as a society are so warped
Side note...
May your beautiful country gain control of the devastating fires raging across the nation...
🇿🇦❤️🇨🇦
18:16 - No it's not. The solution is to look at why these problems exist in the first place and work on solving those.
If it comes down to drug demand, then you have to look at why people take drugs, and come up with solutions to those problems.
That is a REALLY ignorant statement
@@shaunanacole Unfortunately it's the opposite of ignorant. But I understand how it could seem ignorant to anyone not exposed to the truth.
It disgusts me that Canadians are profiting (both literally and metaphorically) off of these victims labour, and the best the government will do is a temporary visa or a plane ticket home? These people are contributing to the economy, money that is spent on them most likely gets put back into the economy one way or another by their captors. So to act like we owe them nothing is callous to say the least.
❤️❤️❤️
It’s not Road zero is zero Avenue
Good point about the fathers I blame them.
These crimes will be exposed and crushed one day for sure.
Matthew 18:6
“If anyone causes one of these little ones those who believe in me to stumble, it would be better for them to have a large millstone hung around their neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea"
Let us remember God and look to Jesus for discernment on all things, change our hearts and have nothing to do with sin, because God's wrath with test and expose all peoples, yet His love abounds
I use to live on 0 Av
And what was that like?
I hope you have posters in Spanish
The Canadian government under Justin Trudeau has decided Canada needs people. So they don't care if there is poverty, or a declining health care system, or even if housing prices are out of control. They just want to help the wealthy corporations.
the police are the customers
That woman is just avoiding saying they didn't want to help the hondurans stay here. What an absolute joke. That is basically the theme of canadian outreach... just tone deaf and missing the point.
Where all problems in Philly stem from
King and father of all Aves in usa especially east coast.....plus golden triangle black markets and Hollywood
MMIW
I keep seeing this 'problem' as the girls or the pimps, broken system. What about the people paying for this?
Shame for exploitation, shame for being lured into it, where's the shame for who's paying?
60? Sorry, I don’t get that.
So I live in Canada. But I live on the east coast, not the west. The maritimes. Personally, I’m very much into knowing these horrific things and sharing the things most people like to pretend don’t happen and go on living their regular lives like they’re in a bubble. But, even being someone who recognizes that these are facts, and if we don’t bring awareness to them then it’s not gonna stop, I still have a hard time believing it’s happening here in my country. Don’t get me wrong. I KNOW damn well it is. But I think it’s that stigma attached to Canada. Like it’s so great, the people are so nice, the health care is great, best place in the entire world to live… no. It is just that. A stigma. The grass is NOT greener on the other side. And when I say other side, I’m referring to whatever border you’re about to cross. Bad people are everywhere.
I sit at the harbour in St. John’s late at night watching storage containers wondering how many victims are being shipped. One time a naked girl screaming in shackles jumped out of an unmarked van in front of me in the Tim Hortons line up. No one did anything. I called the police and they tried to pass it off as a patient from the mental ward but my regular client is a doctor there and he told me thats not how patients get transported💔
@@POLYLIVING you’re in st Johns? That’s honestly another area I never thought of it being.., I’m in Saint John, nb. And I’ve wondered the same many times. Driving over the harbour bridge and seeing thousands upon thousands of shipping cobeainers just sitting there on the dock but it’s so busy with traffic and activity and machinery that I wonder if anyone was in them trying to bang or scream for help, we’d never hear them 💔
Where I live, Saint John, is actually called port city lol
@@YourLoyalHighness87 Ya I moved to St. John’s from Ottawa in 2015. I’ve worked in Saint John too. I haven’t heard of that area
@@POLYLIVING what area havent you heard of?
@@YourLoyalHighness87 Sry I meant the term port city in Saint John
The same arrogant attitude, as people commit the suicide because of the need of "attention", actually helps the "business going on". Those victims don't do it, because they need attention. But because abuse will make them addicted, it will become as a drug for them in this situation, person gets addicted to it and do not see the way out. And if she or he gets out, they will have withdrawal symptoms, exactly as with drugs or alcohol. And to hear that pregnant girl goes to jail in the end, not pims or clients, is actually very good illustration and result of our "Welcome to the rape club" attitude, which we still see on the 21. century from the ICC to the common gentelmen's meetings poses. I think situation will change, when you start to handle prostitution as a "rape", because actually that's what it is. But in our society, when the crime is too wide, we start to jail or fix or deal with victims. Not with criminals. Start to fix the criminals, and the victims will heal themselves.
You're worth so much more than a million....You're priceless!!! I hope you can see that when you look in the mirror.
Drug and human traffickers plentiful in t he see countries
Hobbies that only the rich can afford

Right. When citizens can’t cross bc of mandates, but others in harms way cross with no problem. 😢
2:28 it does not cost Anything to cross those borders. Not one Penny. What are you talking about???? It never has.
They're illegals that's why it costs.
Thats how much the females pay the smugglers to get them across the border illegally genious
Are you confused 😐
@@Ellie80681 it needs to be worded differently
36:14 If this is the kind of person working for antibiotic trafic organisations, well I understand why crimes goes on...These people are there just to have a salary...not to fight human trafiquants...the Governments like human trafic...this is why they don't make laws that will help Police do something concrète to réduction or stop it

Perfectly said and I believe that the secret to financial stability is having the right investment ideas to enable you earn more money, I don’t know who agrees with me but either way I recommend either real estate or crypto and stocks
The best decision I ever made in life was investing in financial markets. Trust me it pays a lot. And I've come to realize that trading Cryptocurrency is more profitable than holding it and wait for it to skyrocket

That’s so sad about native Indian lady…but sadly this is not unique to Vancouver but all over Canada. You don’t have to just look at Vancouver, but anywhere. First Nation people generally live on reserves, not in the city within their own community where non natives aren’t allowed to live. But alcoholism and drugs are rampant in reserves and within their community even without outside interference. It’s even sadder because they’re the most privileged people in Canada, they don’t have to pay tax and can go to school for free any time they like even during adulthood, they can cross borders between Canada and the US freely. I had several Native Indian friends during school in Canada and they went to school for free in college. One guy failed the course so many times that year and he attended the same classes for the third time I was taking trying to pass the program. Now they may have a limit on how many times they can attend the same program in post secondary institution, but First Nation people are very privileged but affected the most; highest number of people affected by alcoholism and drug additions. And there aren’t many South American illegals in Vancouver now. But drugs are rampant on East Hastings still, people shooting up drugs in public I saw them many times when I drove on Hastings. Ironically West Hastings have many brand name shops and the West and East Hastings are drastically different even though they’re on the same street.
What are you talking about? Over half of Canada's First Nation's population lives off reserve and pay taxes. I've never lived on one. I grew up with privileged white kids who never took student loans like I did.
Sounds like you were educated at the dinner table.
No minor should have a choice. You take fingerprints and keep in file. You keep "repadding"them back till their government takes responsibility in detaining them.in their own country.
"I entered this country illegally, I can't figure out why people aren't treating me like a citizen"

Focusing on women as per usual, but never talking about MALE victims. 👎👎👎
About 4.3 million people are trapped in human trafficking, 71% are female while 29% are male. I’m guessing in this case it’s mostly if not all women. They do actually talk about the males in the documentary. The males aren’t exploited for their body the way women are. Yet they’re there. There’s multiple mentions about males doing drugs and earning money for their family. Males just as much a victim as females in this world
Did you even have time to watch the full video before commenting? smdh...
they do mention the male victims!
Think about it, it is more difficult to get men to confess their problems, let alone agree to be interviewed and/or appear on camera. In any case, my heart goes out to the men, warm hugs, and best wishes for a better life.
I found the incel bro type folks! Right here!

The police,RCMP and some politicians including Trudeau were involved with what was going on at that farm. Even the farmer who took the fall said he didn't do it alone. Trudeau to this day is paying a young girl in BC to keep quiet. Use your imagination of what he did to this underage girl at that time.
