美国政府根据2005年《人口贩运受害者保护法》承认在美国贩卖本土出生的儿童进入性交易。中西部地区已被曝光为人贩子的招募地。被拐卖卖淫的儿童往往会出现心理健康问题，遭受身体和性侵犯，自尊心低下，并面临感染艾滋病毒/艾滋病和其他健康问题的风险。本文基于对 13 名来自中西部被拐卖儿童的定性访谈。调查结果揭示了中西部人口贩运受害者的经历和参与者网络。
Trafficking of domestically born children in the United States into the sex trade has been recognized by the U.S. government under the Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2005. The Midwest has been exposed as a recruitment site for traffickers. Children who have been trafficked into prostitution often experience mental health problems, suffer physical and sexual assaults, have low self-esteem, and are put at risk for HIV/ AIDS and other health problems. This article is based on qualitative interviews with 13 trafficked children from the Midwest. Findings reveal the experiences of victims and the network of players involved in trafficking in the Midwest.
