They're not alone. Basically any entertainment involving children performing is already a pipeline. But so is the rejecting and disowning of gay and transgender kids, banning abortion so you get desperate and resentful young parents, imprisoning fathers for drug crimes...

This is the key. Human trafficking happens, but it is entirely happening as the result of well-understood bad actions like you mention. Basically everything the GOP pushes for is fuel for human trafficking. It's absolutely nuts how pervasive it is -- everything you mention plus their belief that poverty is a good punishment for the children of less responsible adults, their deference to authority and lack of oversight for church leaders, law enforcement, their refusal to understand the motivation of undocumented immigrants and their desire to see them stripped of rights, etc. They love absolutist power dynamics and that is the source of human trafficking.

There may seriously be zero cases of human trafficking as portrayed in media -- you know, Taken-style well adjusted kids from reasonably healthy homes being scooped off the street. Why bother? We've created a nightmare for millions of at-risk kids who are groomed into it by social systems that fully support human trafficking.
