For years, anti-trafficking advocates regularly claimed that 300K children were sex trafficked each year.
It was never true — the stat was a bastardization of a stat saying 300,000 children were *at risk* of exploitation due to things like poverty, alienation and transphobia.

RFK during Wednesday's cabinet meeting: "During the Biden administration HHS became a collaborator in child trafficking for sex and for slavery. And we have ended that and we are very aggressively going out and trying to find these children, 300,000 children that were lost by the Biden admin.”

Even without knowing the details, that claim is pure bullshit on logistics alone.
It was clear that this was NOT how many were *actually* exploited.
Let alone *missing*
It later fed into QAnon and Pizzagate and, now, RFK's HHS.
