Las Vegas Operation



This video depiction by Izzo Pro Video & Cinematology follows Saved in America as they approach Las Vegas Operation 2019. This engaging video explains the beginning of Saved in America, how they do what they do, the experts behind the group and much more. It is an emotional and accurate account that is somewhat alarming in nature, but one that merits a view.  

Foster Care And Human Trafficking

The sad reality of the human trafficking world, made up of runaway kids, is that some 60% of the kids who become victims of this industry are runaways from the foster care system. This means that these kids in many cases don’t have families who are missing them or fighting for them or desiring their well-being. Joseph Travers explains within this video that these kids sometimes don’t even have accurate identities, making finding them that much harder. Even sadder is the fact that the social work system has no methods in place or groups that work to find these missing kids on their behalf. 

Why Law Enforcement Needs Help

Law enforcement works tirelessly to fight back against many forms of crimes from murders and drug crimes to domestic violence and vehicular crimes. However, they simply are undermanned and underfunded and cannot possibly track down and find the many thousands of missing kids who have run away. This means that the risk of these kids being victimized by the human trafficking industry grows even greater. Add to this the fact that the laws of the land have made it easier for the pimps and predators to get away with this heinous crime, and it makes sense that law enforcement cannot adequately fight back against the growth of this evil industry. Thankfully, groups like our own Saved in America are effectively working to fight back against this industry and rescuing kids out of these horrors. 

Help Continues After Rescue

In addition to identifying the location of missing kids, so law enforcement can rescue them, Saved in America also works to get victims of the industry the help they need after they have been rescued. The situation is traumatic and since many of the victims don’t have families or safe places to return, they need to be placed in either a safe house or in some form of rehabilitation, which is yet another crucial service they provide.
