Society's Child
This number is comprised of documented cases of children gone missing, and does not include children who are born and bred into pedophilia networks and have no birth certificates, or undocumented immigrant children who come across the borders.
Worldwide, the number is close to 8 million children missing and being sexually trafficked.
Such is the scope of the problem that was reported earlier this year (2018) in Westminster, London by The International Tribunal for Natural Justice (ITNJ), as the court convened over a 3-day period to launch their Judicial Commission of Inquiry into Human Trafficking and Child Sex Abuse.
The name of the company responsible for creating public safety watchlists should say it all but I digress.
A recent article in Xconomy reveals that law enforcement is using Suspect Technologies facial recognition software to create secret public safety watchlists.
"Suspect Technologies is also working to pilot a real-time service next year by monitoring public surveillance video feeds with its facial recognition software and cross-referencing it all against a public safety watchlist, CEO Jacob Sniff says. He explained the plans but declined to identify the law enforcement client."
"We have an agency early adopter, his conception is he's going to have 10 facial recognition cameras in town: one in the police station lobby, some at the Greyhound bus locations, city hall, even the public pool area," Sniff says. "He's going to be scanning people's faces against a small public watchlist."

One man has been arrested following the incident at St Stephen's Health Centre in East London this morning.
Three people were taken to hospital after they were attacked in St Stephen's Health Centre in Tower Hamlets and The Tredegar Practice in Bow, east London by a man wielding a '12-inch blade'.
According to bystanders, the man burst into The Tredegar Practice around 11am and stabbed two men before lunging towards a mother-of-three in the waiting room as patients fled.
He was then tackled by a brave have-a-go hero before he ran out of the surgery and to the nearby St Stephen's Health Centre, where he allegedly attacked a wheelchair-bound woman.
Three remain in hospital, although their injuries are not understood to be life threatening.
Police were tonight questioning a 40-year-old suspect in relation to the stabbings.

The 'man free' Statement music festival in Sweden has been found guilty of discrimination, it has emerged.
The event, called Statement, was held in Gothenburg in August this year having been billed as 'the world's first major music festival for women, non-binary and transgender only'.
But describing the festival as 'male-free' was a violation of anti-discrimination legislation, Sweden's Discrimination Ombudsman (DO) has ruled.
Men were not prevented from buying a ticket or entering the festival grounds but male members of artists' entourages and the likes of technicians and managers were reportedly restricted to a so-called 'man-pen' in a backstage area.

Thousands of teenagers have taken part in antigovernment protests in the past few years, including demonstrations organized by opposition politician and anti-corruption campaigner Aleksei Navalny.
In its third and final vote, the State Duma approved legislation under which organizers of unsanctioned public gatherings in which people under the age of 18 participate will face up to 15 days in jail and a fine of up to 50,000 rubles ($750).
Thousands of teenagers have taken part in antigovernment protests in the past few years, including demonstrations organized by opposition politician and anti-corruption campaigner Aleksei Navalny.
Comment: Children and most teens lack sufficient knowledge or the ability to discern nuance, and are easily manipulated by adults to further their own political agenda - Russia, unlike some Western nations, intends to protect her children:
- Russia's State Duma implements law neutralizing Navalny's exploitation of children in protests
- Russia toughens law for inciting children to suicide
- Russia to ban citizenship change for adopted children
- Russian MP seeks measures to block minors' access to online porn
The event organized by opposition parties mirrored the first protest against violence that took place a week earlier, prompted by a recent attack on a government critic whose shirt was literally bloodied after he was assaulted by pro-government thugs. But this time, almost twice as many people peacefully marched through the center of the capital, galvanized by several events that took place during the previous week.
This 2-minute video by Bojan Dzodan shows the protest from the ground:
In a survey whose results were published on December 19, two-thirds -- or 66 percent -- of respondents answered "yes" when asked whether they regret the 1991 Soviet collapse.
That is up from 58 percent a year earlier and is the highest proportion since 2004, the last year of President Vladimir Putin's first term, Levada said.
One-quarter of respondents said they do not regret the Soviet breakup, the lowest proportion since 2005, and 9 percent said they could not answer.
Putin, president from 2000-08 and 2012 to the present, has often played up the achievements of the Soviet Union while playing down some of its darkest chapters.
Comment: Leave it to Radio Free Europe to put such a spin on Putin. The Russian president has lauded the achievements of the Soviet Union when it comes to the Great Patriotic War against Nazi Germany. A very costly and crucial achievement for the Russian people. But Putin has also been quite vocal in pointing out the Soviet Union's horrible failings as well.
Comment: No mention or poll questions relating to how the West has egregiously contributed to Russia's economic challenges, however.
I was convinced that Airbnb had backtracked."Airbnb Says It Suspends Implementation of West Bank Settlement Ban"
The article cited a Hebrew statement following a meeting of Airbnb officials with Israeli Tourism Minister Yariv Levin, in which Airbnb said, "Our policy will not be implemented." And Airbnb "will continue negotiations with the Israeli government".
Then we get the reverse message.

Jordan Peterson (L) Slavoj Zizek (R)
During an appearance at the Cambridge Union last month, Zizek savaged the Canadian's "pseudo-scientific references" and purported inability to speak "about women and marriage without mentioning lobsters, apes or whatever." Zizek's comments elicited laughter from his audience, but apparently, Peterson doesn't find his comments very funny.
"Any time, any place, Mr. Zizek," Peterson tweeted on Monday, attaching a link to RT's write-up of Zizek's provocative remarks.
