10-20 “massage” parlours, “sexy girls”, or exotically named “escorts” in the classifieds of the daily newspapers in Trinidad and Tobago

Missing people per capita of Trinidad is one of the highest in the world.Is such a high-profile crime being carried out in Trinidad though? Human Trafficking? Some of the horrible motives behind human trafficking include : stealing organs, pornography, sex slavery, settlements for drug trades and plain old money. Keeping that in mind and after seeing Hostel and Hostel II, human trafficking is probably the worst thing that could happen to someone, and their family.We don’t know if it really exists. If it does, then there is some credence behind the whole children found in a container story, if not, then a serial killer or group of serial killers are on the loose in Trinidad.What I do know however is there is a relation among the drug trade, unprotected coasts, prostitution and these missing people.The first two are no-brainers, but prostitution in Trinidad is probably the most bold-faced crime being committed in the world. Unlike some states in the U.S like Nevada, and other countries like the Netherlands, Israel, Australia, etc. prostitution is illegal in Trinidad, and it always has been.As a teenager I always got excited to see one or two suspicious ads in the personals section of the newspapers which suggested that sex services were being offered. In recent years, coincidentally when missing persons numbers began spiking like crazy, the personals section of the newspapers suddenly is an obvious sex marketplace. Brothels are also now quite obviously open all over Trinidad.Right now you can get the name and number of between 10-20 “massage” parlours, “sexy girls”, or exotically named “escorts” in the classifieds of the daily newspapers in Trinidad and Tobago on any given day. In other words, these people are advertising something illegal, plain and bold in the newspapers, and the Trinidad police aren’t doing a damn thing about it.
