After a month-long investigation, an arrest warrant was issued for Rodney Lavalais Jr., for Trafficking of children for sexual purposes. These two cases prove how vital it is for law enforcement  but across the country to remain focused on combating human trafficking.

Reflection:
There are still many cases of human trafficking . Most of the victim are child and women. This trafficking leads to sexual purposes business. Traffickers are commonly have stronger networking than government. The one and only who can save victims from trafficking are  the nearest community. If there are human trafficking known people should report it as quick as possible.
