This site, <A HREF="http://freetheslaves.net/">http://freetheslaves.net/</A> can give you better info than I can.

Regarding slavery in America: this happens mostly with trafficking in people,
mostly for domestic work, sex, and sometimes for sweatshop or agricultural
work. Most often it's the first two. I'll try to find more info on the issue in
America.

Thanks Kathryn. I did do some of my own research and found exactly the kinds
of things you mention. I haven't checked the link you provided yet, I will
as soon as I have time. So far, I haven't found anything about buying and
selling people as slaves, like property. I read a lot about the indebtedness
stuff, and deceit and entrapment and all of that.. but nothing about money
changing hands. I am going to keep researching though.

My sister has a friend here in Victoria who had to pay a pimp several
thousand dollars to get her daughter out of his prostitution ring. I'd call
that slavery, and it's apparently rampant. They befriend girls (and boys)
who seem lonely, get them hooked on cocaine, then force them to work for
their fix.

We sure wouldn't have handled a pimp/prostitute/slavery/extortion thing like that here in Rhode Island.
Yup...

Jailed mother. Do you have capital punishment in your state? Then it would
be dead mother. I'm sure this mother had the same reaction at first, but
decided she wanted to still be available to her daughter rather than in
jail. The police couldn't do anything as long as the girl *appeared* to
want to be where she was. I haven't heard about her for a long time, but
last I heard she was doing fine.
