why do children parents sell them for human trafficking?

Answer 1

The parents are promised that the children will be given good jobs and good situations and the parents simply aren't in a good situation financially. They are pretty unaware of the actual fate that awaits their children.

Answer 2

They do this when the family as a whole is at extreme risk. When people are concerned that they may all die of starvation, the concept of someone taking one child who may survive and providing for the others so they will survive actually starts to sound reasonable. Larger families are easier for trafficker to prey upon and sometimes people like landlords or loan sharks or the local food market manager are the ones who make the offer to the family. The worse the condition becomes for the family, the more desperate they are. Sometimes they may even feel that the entire family is going to die - but that the child sold to traffickers is the only one who will have a chance at life. There are drug addicts who lose interest in their children under the influence of their addition and will sell them and there are children who are kidnapped, then told that their parents sold them, but most are sold as a last resort to keep some of the family alive. The parents who do this and survive must live the rest of their lives knowing they will never have the resources to find and free their sold child - and they fear that if they did try to find them they would find that the child had suffered and even died in the hands of the slavers who took them.

Answer 3

Unfortunately extreme poverty. The parents are usually told that the child will be safe, and will have a better life with adopters waiting for the child. They are usually not aware the fate of these children. They don't get much information because most live in poor rural areas without literacy. I was stunned when I saw a documentary on "child brothels" boys and girls as young as 9 or 10 years old. Two tourists happened to come upon one of these places and organized
to close it down and treat the children to a trip and as I watched these kids so excited to be going somewhere fun and laughing and playing but irrevocably traumatized in the worst way..the people who organized this said they were going to dedicate their life to shutting these places own..but it was no easy task because they would pop up again all over the place. I don't remember where it was but they were speaking Hindi language and it looked like a large city like Calcutta. But it can happen in Mexico,Cambodia, or any severely impoverished countries. I think this should be an International Crime and the perpetrators prosecuted and jailed or even better executed for this horrific crime.

Answer 4

The sad reality of it is desperation. Almost none of the parents are told about what they are really doing. They agree to have their children go to work for people in agreement that they will have a roof over their head and food and clothes everyday, which many of the parents simply cannot provide.
More often than not, these children are given to work as babysitters, seamstresses, and laundry maids. But that is rarely the case.
some parents know exactly what they are doing and quite simply sell their own children for money, but these individuals are as much criminals as the perverted individuals who abuse these children.

Answer 5

Because they need the money, and because the people who buy the children tell the parents that they are going to America/Canada/England/etc where they will have a much better life, so this is for the good of your child, really. And, no, this isn't money we're paying you to sell your child. This is money we're giving you until your son or daughter can come home with all the money they've earned to help support you.

Answer 6

Its no longer in basic terms from Africa this week the police in Slough broke a substantial toddler trafficking ring and those toddlers have been from Romania. the particularly some toddlers have been bought to those in fee some have been taken and their mom and dad have not any concept the place they are. What makes me maximum indignant is the mummy and dad and kinfolk individuals international extensive who for the only reason of desiring some money sell their toddlers into slavery. i actually won't be able to positioned into words what i think. yet all legal structures look the comparable they gets a smack on the hand and advised how undesirable they are and the toddlers are exceeded from pillar to submit in care thinking what on earth they did incorrect. i do no longer comprehend how we can help yet only record something suspicious which you spot.

Answer 7

Greed, I would expect. One less mouth to feed plus getting paid is a very tempting offer, particularly in Third World countries. Some parents may have more honorable intentions; they may be unable to properly care for the child and feel that by giving it up, they are offering it a better life, but in many cases, it comes down to money.

Answer 8

It is hard to believe but some parent enjoy sexually abusing their children, seeing them abused, and allowing others to take the children with the intent of abuse. These people are sociopathic/psychopathic in nature. It is not necessarily based on finances or desperation.

Answer 9

Usually its because they are desperately poor and will perish without the income.

People in the US simply have NO idea what that might be like. This is why they are able to put up a fence between them and the rest of the world and say "what's ours is ours and you're on your own."

Answer 10

Some cultures do not place the same value on their children as we do. Also, extreme poverty will force people into doing things that are morally unexplainable.
