  • I really appreciate the way Lisa Ling reports on such delicate subjects. Unflinching, but with respect and empathy. Few reporters are so genuine.
  • @Badhigh22
    "I don't care about no freedom as long as I'm safe".... Damn that hit me in the chest..😢
  • @MzShugr
    "They are from every walk of life, teachers, lawyers, pastors, diplomats, police officers." That is why this will never end. Those in power are the ones who are consuming the most product.
  • @kimbershark
    The part where Tina said a girl asked if she was an angel because she’s been praying for one to come and save her 😢 crying 😭
  • @ceejones6489
    More could be done, but our country is spending on the wrong things.
  • The trafficking of the 6-10 year old boys pierced my soul...can you imagine such a painful atrocity. May we all find a way to participate in the rescuing of these children.
  • @sesi5289
    closed legs don't get fed?? to a kid?? I can't even imagine how disgusting some people can be...
  • @nikitas5810
    Ashley, if you’re reading this, I AM SO SO SO SO SO PROUD OF YOU and I’m rooting for you, girl ❤
  • I work for an NGO in the Republic of Congo who helps underage girls who are in similar situations. May God strengthen these young ladies and help them to find the light at the end of the tunnel ❤ The name of the NGO is ASI in full "Action de solidarité international". They are based in few central African countries for those who asked :)
  • @Em-wk5ns
    How desperate you must be to go voluntary to jail? When a bed to sleep in peace without any men and regular meals are you biggest wish, you just escape a living hell.
  • @bettiraige3474
    I didn't think I could watch this all the way through without crying. But when I saw Ashley graduate, I lost it. Bless these beautiful souls.
  • @sabrina.natalie
    This originally aired in 2011. Fast forward to 2024, I really hope these girls and young women are doing a lot better now, and I hope they have found healing and peace. This is very heartbreaking and agonizing. This is so prevalent in the United States, and all around the world.
  • @jtt1928
    😢this is a sick world!!! I pray that these girls can escape 😵‍💫🙏🏾🙌🏾!
  • @anjabrown7868
    The fact that boys are trafficked starting at ages 6 is so sickening , these John’s know they are children.
  • @Mr.Magic4ever
    I miss this show. Lisa Ling is a incredible journalist and person.
  • @Ashley-rl7db
    I’m in tears but I pray Ashley has become a social worker.
  • The people selling or buying these girls should go to jail for life no 2nd chances!!!!
