Child Sex Trafficking/Tainted Pet Food/Disaster Prep

Child Sex Trafficking is a major issue in the United States - and much more prevalent than most people think.

On The Stream, we host a senior FBI official on the recent arrests in a nationwide child sex trafficking operation and national trends, fueled in part by online ads and forums.  We ask why many of these teens are never reported missing.  Also: Investigating tainted pet food imports originating from China; and how prepared are you for a natural disaster?
