There is absolutely human trafficking going on on top of wide spread drug distribution. Criminal gangs have taken over large parts of the county. Silver Spring is like a 3rd world country. How much you want to bet they're being trafficked? It has gotten 10x worse with uncontrolled illegal immigration into the county. What could possibly go wrong when you rollout the red carpet for hundreds and thousands of undocumented individuals with no criminal background information or verifiable information?

Down the tubes.

Most of the Silver Spring violence is spillover from DC.

No, much of SS is imported poverty that has transformed the area into Central America. It has brought with it all of the gangs, drug rings, and human smuggling operations. Just go drive around the area, it doesn’t even look like you’re in America anymore. Random guys selling figurines all over the road, coconut vendors selling coconuts and littering all of the debris everywhere, families begging in shopping centers, houses with 8 families piling in and cars everywhere parked outside….just a huge decline in MoCo and SS. They voted for all of this unfettered, undocumented migration and now crime is going up while quality of life is going down.

I live in Silver Spring and this is all true.

Frustrating because our neighborhood used to be an affordable middle lass neighborhood. Now, it’s a bit of a mess.

What part of SS? I live in SS near Kensington and it's not at all like this.

Clearly you haven't driven around Wheaton, Longbranch, etc. areas.

Most teen trafficking is way more complicated than that and involves grooming either online or in person.

That is what I fear happened here.

When are the parents of girls in this area going to wake up to the dangers and realities of trafficking present in our community here in and near DC?

When are we going to do something about it??

That’s complete and utter bullshit. It’s like you went and saw that dumb Sound of Freedom movie and confused it with being a documentary. You know, the movie that people who actually work in human trafficking say is complete and utter bullshit?

What is it with right wingers and the need to be in constant fear over phantom menaces?

Oh yeah, sex trafficking in MoCo is bullshit.

Agree it is a real problem and as a mother of a teen Latina, I do worry and urge caution in various ways .

However, the other posters dismissing it all as runaway teens have a good point. Many of the teens do leave voluntarily in the beginning at least.

I suspect reality is messy and in the middle. Vulnerable teens with mental health issues or unstable home situations are more likely to become Runaway teens. Vulnerable teens are more susceptible to teen traffickers who first lure them with compliments and fun innocent seeming outings.

Since the pandemic, teens spend a lot more time on social media and online. Mental illness among teens has gone way up since the pandemic.

The over sexualization of young girls online is sickening. I have had many conversations with our teen about this sexualization of teens and girls online being deeply disrespectful of young female personhood. I know I come off as boring but don’t want her to normalize the online messaging.

Like many others, I have noticed that many of the missing teens are Latina or black but the most noise gets made when white teens go missing. However, I have also noticed that is getting less so and more noise is being made about any teens or young people who go missing.

I appreciate all and any efforts to bring our young people home and to help them adjust to our complicated post pandemic world.

Oh no! First we learned from the movie Taken than we can't go to Paris without being kidnapped fresh off the plane, now DMV is off-limits too?!

It is deeply sad and pathetic you are minimizing the reality and danger of sex-trafficking of teen girls in our area.

Fortunately, the school system in this area is not as ridiculous and obtuse as you are, PP; they have wisely sponsored this PSA video to educate parents and students of the danger and reality of sex trafficking here in our own area:

I live in Aspen Hill and it's like that in my neighborhood. Multiple homes being rented illegally to multiple families. And, as you go down towards Viers Mill, where those women got stabbed at a yard sale. We now even have the religious guys proselytizing on the corner in Spanish.

That's funny because the woke crazies have been pushing the narrative that every prostitute, to include women giving hand jobs at a massage parlor, are being trafficked lol

Teen trafficking is an issue that hopefully both sides of political Spectrum can agree is concerning and warrants sensible attention …

Hmm - if only something could be done about these growing problems. . .

Oh wait - we CAN do something: secure the southern border.

There is only one political party which is keeping the border wide open (and it is not the Republicans).

2 different people have said both teens are safe and back home with their families.

But I can’t find any online confirmation. But I really really hope this is true!

If they convince the white people that dark skinned people are coming to hurt them and take their white, blonde daughters they expect they will vote for repugnicans.

They’re trying to convince people that democrats are soft on crime and they are tough on crime.

Unfortunately for them we’ve all seen how they ignore crime when they’re involved. Also see the post here on dcum that lists the real groomers. So, so many rwnj religious types.
