Coming in 2011 from Chicago Review Press:
SOMEBODY'S DAUGHTER:
The Hidden Story of America's Prostituted Children
and the Battle to Save Them
They are America's forgotten children: the hundreds of thousands of child
prostitutes who walk the "tracks" -- the Las Vegas Strip, the
casinos of Atlantic City, the truck stops on interstates and the street
corners of our cities. Most people wrongly believe sex trafficking involves
young women from foreign lands but the vast majority of teens caught in
the sex trade are American girls -- the runaways and throwaways few people
care about. They become victims of ruthless pimps whose lifestyle is often
glorified in the media and in the rap music scene.
From the streets of Dallas where the police have set up a pioneering
High Risk Victims Unit to the glittering casinos of Las Vegas and Atlantic
City where the FBI's "Innocence Lost" investigators try to dismantle
major pimping criminal enterprises, Somebody's Daughter takes you
behind the scenes to expose one of America's most under-reported crimes:
the trafficking of American girls on American streets.
