"Watch Your Back........................................"

Good Afternoon;
 The link below is to a story on BBC News about Homeless people being tricked into thinking they were being offered a job and ending up being enslaved and used as free labor:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-14891377

And it's not just the in U.K., in Eastern Europe and the Far East women, mostly minors are kept as sex slaves for "Sex Tourism" junkets by Western and Japanese business men. Even in the U.S. human trafficking occurs with the victims put to work in the sex trade as prostitutes, agricultural workers, in nail salons, and as nannies, caretakers and maids, (in D.C. !!), in restaurants and resorts......

I have not seen it in Baltimore but in N.Y.C. and L.A. many street and subway beggars are 'owned' by gangs.

What I have seen (though not recently) are some real shady looking signs on bus shelters offering 'work + room, board, & transportation' in both English and Spanish,  for both single men, and families.
 
Anyway..remember...if anybody ever tells you, "it can't get any worse",
.................that's bullsh*t!

Later...........................Dave
