The sad reality that we are facing is that human trafficking is becoming more and more common. It is a sickening realization that I wish would just disappear but it just growing by the day! The South Carolina Attorney General’s Office recently released an annual report on the state’s efforts to combat the issue and shared a scary statistic.
