“Mom, you got me hooked on drugs and when I got pregnant by Jack, you made me abort the baby at some strange lady’s house. I’m only 16yrs old and I want to be a normal teenager; I want to go to school with kids my own age. I don’t want to live life like this anymore. I have been in a relationship with Jack since I was 13 years old. I want out! No more lies, secrets and forcing me and my siblings to be street performers. Mom we are leaving to stay with our dad. We want out and we’re not coming back.”

Angel is a very sad case like many children who are snatched and taken into a life of bondage. The sextrafcking epidemic entraps young girls and boys every day. These children are forced into child labor and held in bondage for the love of money.
