The third largest moneymaker for organized crime in the United States, after drugs and weapons is: The sale of human beings. 15,000 kids per year are trafficked to the United States, mainly from Thailand and Africa. These children are victims of white slavery and child labor and put to work in illegal sweatshops. Some of the children end up in Europe, working as underage domestics. Others are sexually exploited. Family members have also been known to sell their children to smugglers.
