Can anyone rescue the trafficked girls of L.A.'s Figueroa Street?

Great read / writing.

It's a whole other world out there compared to what I live.

The officers putting in their personal time working this stuff are heroes.

>Then, at 13, in the early months that Ana was being trafficked, she called her mom for help. She had already lost track of her sister. This time, her mother was much more direct: If Ana had gotten herself into “the game,” as she called it, she would need to get herself out. Ana didn’t know how. She scraped the braces off her teeth with nail clippers to hide her age and settled in.

Just brutal.
