Is Arizona a Major Child Sex Trafficking Hub?

Arizona is the home of the Grand Canyon National Park. Arizona is known for the four Cs which stands for citrus, copper, climate, and cotton. It is a hot, vast, desert-ridden state and the sixth largest in the nation. Cacti, snakes. scorpions and black widow spiders thrive in this climate, but people do not as well. Additionally, Arizona is one of the four states bordering Mexico, making it a hub for human trafficking. Why is this going on in Arizona? Arizona is like many other Southern states, it is hot, slow, backward, and a very corrupt border state. Indeed, Arizona is still the wild west in many ways.

Arizona takes in more children into the Foster Care system than any other state in the USA, but why? Arizona has the highest percentage of children being taken away from their families and placed into foster care than any other state in the U.S., and the U.S. foster care system is known to be the pipeline for child sex trafficking. There are so many children being removed from homes and put into foster care in Arizona, that there is a severe shortage of foster homes, and that babies and children are being “housed” in social services’ office buildings. While most other states in the U.S. are seeing declines in foster care placements, Arizona is seeing the biggest percentage of increase among U.S. states. Over the past decade, Arizona had the second largest increase in the nation, over 12,000 children. In 2021, 863 children died in Arizona from various causes (Source.).

So why is Arizona putting so many children into foster care? Are there more abusive families in Arizona than in the rest of the country? Possible reasons might include the following: high number of illegal immigrants that cross over the border, transient families with children, high number of single-parent household, drug problems, Arizona does take in so many refugees from all over the world and corruption is rampant there.

The Southern Border Has Big Effects on Human Trafficking. Arizona is one of the four states bordering Mexico, making it a hub for human trafficking. Figures from the FBI show in 2017 Arizona was third in the nation for human trafficking offenses and had the highest number of arrests.

The Tucson sector is now the busiest and most dangerous area to cross, and more than 1,300 migrants cross it daily despite the high temperatures. Sadly, some of them die on the way every year and that is just a fact of life. For decades now, Mexican citizens have been crossing the border into America illegally and it is only getting worse. In fact, there are people from all over the world coming in through the Southern border today.

To make it across the border, a long and sometimes dangerous journey is required. Border towns like Sinaloa and Sanora are hubs for human trafficking. When migrants come into the U.S. there are multiple paths of entry. However, the most common method of entry is through hiring a “Coyote” or a paid guide who take migrants from the border to the U.S. Most paths of entry through border towns are controlled by a cartel. With one of these escorts costing $4,000 USD or more, many migrants are left with little to no savings. As a result, they are forced to turn to less-than-ideal ways to make money to survive.

The Southern Border needs to be secured and the wall needs to be finished. That is because the open border policy currently is now funding a multi-billion-dollar business per year for the Mexican cartels. While most of Americans are dealing with downturn in economy and don’t want more expenses to support illegal immigrants. At the end of the day, it is big business at the Southern border that doesn’t go away easily. In 2022 estimated revenues was $13 Billion/year for child sex traffickers and then there is probably equivalent amount for drug dealers that are taking advantage of desperate immigrants coming over the Southern Border illegally. RFK Jr. discovered mind-blowing: a dire humanitarian crisis, a border security system crippled by politics and corruption, and people on both sides struggling to end the suffering.

There is also a big problem at the border as cartels use social media to recruit American teens for drug, human smuggling in Arizona: "Uber for the cartels".

Fentanyl is one of the most popular drugs to smuggle over the border currently. The Fentanyl epidemic in the US keeps increasing with teen deaths tripling in three years. Fentanyl overdose deaths in the US were over 109,680 annually in 2022. There are regular shipments of chemicals from exporters in China and run by the Mexican Sinaloa Drug Cartel. This action was closely coordinated with the Government of Mexico and is directed at entities and individuals of one of the most widespread drug trafficking organizations in the world.

This Mormon politician guy was into Baby Selling Enterprise for Big Money!

Mormon Paul Petersen, an adoption lawyer, and Maricopa County Assessor, was arrested Wednesday, October 9, 2019, for human smuggling and selling children from the Marshall Islands to Arizona. He was also Charged For Adoption Schemes In Arkansas and Utah. Court documents also said the women’s passports were confiscated, ultimately hindering them from returning home to the Marshall Islands, which was 5,000 miles away, if they changed their minds and coercing them into going through with the adoption. Then they were stuck in Arizona and turned into baby factories until it was discovered what was going on. This whole thing is disgusting to say the least. How can these demonic beings be put in higher political positions all the time pretending to protect children and the public while they do the opposite? No wonder that we are in a HOT mess!

Is There an Arizona and Mormon Connection to Child Trafficking in Arkansas and Senator Linda Collins-Smith’s Murder? This is another mind-blowing story of how the children are taken from families and in this case, .it was the grandchild that was suddenly adopted by a family while they bypassed the grandmother that was going to bring up the child after the mother died. The system is not protecting the families.

Police records: Former Arizona Rep. David Stringer was accused of paying boys for sex. “(Name redacted) said that he has been back to see Mr. Dave at least 10 additional times since the first time," the report states. "He said that each time he has been asked to perform acts of fellatio and sodomy with David Stringer." Then Mr. Stringer paid the boy $10 for each visit.

GOP senator: AZ foster kids are being sold into sexual slavery.

Arizona Department of Child Safety (DCS) “lost” more than 550 children in 2018, roughly half of whom are categorized as either runaways or otherwise missing. Farnsworth has said that the 206 children with “No ID placement” are “lost” by DCS. Farnsworth also alleged that two former Republican state senators from other states who were killed within days of each other earlier this year were “executed” because they were investigating links between their own states’ child protective agencies and global sex trafficking rings.

As previously reported, Arizona has a history of medically kidnapping children from parents who disagree with doctors. (See: A History of Medical Kidnapping at Phoenix Children’s Hospital.)

Also, states gain huge benefits from Medicaid for every child they take away from parents, billing all their medical bills to Medicaid allowing doctors to perform whatever medical procedures they choose to use, with no oversight from an insurance company. (See: The Medical Kidnapping Business: Bilking Medicaid.)

That might include sex change operation, organ harvesting (taking out one of the kidneys), hormonal injections, endless drugs for depression, ADHD, etc., vaccines, hospitalization after being abused or beaten up by pedophile foster parent or while in foster care, contraceptives, pregnancy care or abortion. Apparently, some kids have Medicaid bills for $1 million/year and there is no limit since there is no oversite.

One parent mentioned that Arizona has basically prevented some budget cuts and kept certain government jobs intact simply by taking more foster care children into the system for the federal reimbursements.

In the meantime, babies and children taken from “abusive” homes end up sleeping in social services’ offices until they can be placed in group homes or other foster care institutions.

Additionally, children are brought by airplanes to Phoenix, Arizona from Maui, Hawaii. Then from there, they are distributed to the rest of the country and the world for child sex trafficking.

Remember the two creepy guys that were running Backpage.com? Well, these guys were from Arizona. In fact, the founders, Jim Larkin, and associate Michael Lacey founded Phoenix New Times, one of the state's most popular publications. However, a few years after opening the paper, they developed an online sales platform rivaling Craigslist. The company generated around $500 million each year from prostitution ads alone. Some of the advertisements were part of human trafficking schemes.

In 2010, Backpage was sued by a “15-year-old sex trafficking victim for allegedly aiding, encouraging forced prostitution, exploitation of children and child pornography by failing to investigate the prostitution ads on Backpage”. Although this initial case was dropped, attention was brought to the public. This is just one example of the multitude of platforms used of Backpage.com, a website known for being involved in multiple human trafficking schemes, with many ads for sex trafficking among other things made at least $500 million dollars each year and it got taken down in 2018.

Originally Backpage was created to traffic children through manipulative advertising. It is great that Backpage.com was shut down, but many other platforms have replaced it particularly social media and apps. For more on the Backpage story click here. It looks like one of the guys killed himself in the end while the other guy is still going through legal trials.

There were 29 arrested in HSI Phoenix, multiagency operation targeting alleged child sex and human traffickers.
