Every year, over one million children are victims of child trafficking. Child trafficking occurs when people under the legal age of eighteen are abducted. Some children are abducted for labor, older children (mostly) females are abducted to be prostitutes. Infants are stolen for people to buy them. They can also be used to work on streets, or sweat shops. Some parents give up their children to traffickers. Parents are promised a better life for their child if they sell their child, and they sell them with a positive hope.
