More than 20 Wisconsin counties have reported incidents of sex trafficking, with nearly 80 cases in Milwaukee, according to data compiled by Hope Run Kenosha. Every 10 minutes, a woman or child is trafficked in the U.S., resulting in more than 15,000 victims each year.
An official with the Department of Homeland Security volunteering at the event said there are hundreds of cases of prostitution and labor exploitation in southeastern Wisconsin, and described Kenosha as a “stopping spot” between Chicago and Milwaukee.
“Human trafficking is an issue everywhere, and we need to do a better job of educating the public about it,” said Kenosha Police Officer Jeff Wamboldt. “Twelve and 13-year-olds are the primary target, that’s middle schoolers. We need to get the word out to parents and teachers.”
Wamboldt recommends parents pay attention to their child’s demeanor and social media accounts. “If your child is being targeted, there is going to be a change. Dig around and ask questions,” he added.
Chris Oertel, director of Royal Family KIDS, a local camp for abused children in and around Kenosha and Racine counties, attended the event and said she hopes it will encourage locals and law enforcement officials to focus more attention on child sexual abuse.
“I think only recently things have been said about human trafficking,” she said. “People think this only happens in bigger cities, in other countries. But it happens here.”

I know Kenosha well. As well as Racine.

You should know by now that everyone we have written is true about Racine (and Kenosha). The entire area is controlled by the mafia, secret societies, foundations, PACs, Rotary clubs, United Way, and corrupt organizations and corporations engaged in all levels of Pizzagate and Global Criminal Corruption. Please help shine the light on Racine and Kenosha. This is why corrupt Boy Scouts Paul Ryan, Reince Priebus and Scott Walker have so much undeserved power. They are financed by and working for these groups. Many judges, attorneys and administrators are part of the Marquette Mafia which may sound strange but is connected with these other groups. It is a system of interconnected corrupt networks.
