ReplyYes, as I've been researching thoroughly for nearly three years about sex trafficking in Atlanta, I haven't come across any facts that it's limited to young black women as Michael stated. Sex trafficking is not limited to any race and not even limited to women. Additionally, when someone is trafficked, she/he is not "selling herself," someone is forcing them to perform commercial sex acts. The continued and unceasing demand for sex with girls who have been forced into this life is truly what society should evaluate and help combat. If the demand wasn't there, the market wouldn't be. Continuing to victimize or criminalize children and young people forced into horrific situations is pointless and counterproductive.

ReplyNo, she is not a victim, at least not in this situation. It was just an error. She is a suspect as it stated in the following sentence. Has been corrected now. Thanks!

Barbara, there is never "political correctness" interfering with apprehension. It's only a matter of journalistic integrity. If the police offer a full description of a suspect, the media (including Patch) will include it in coverage. If the description is say "a white male" or "a black male" and that's it, then that cannot be included because it then makes every white male or black male a suspect. That's not journalistic integrity. Full descriptions are always included in Buckhead Patch articles.

The victims of the other carjacking which did not involve the rear-ending tactic described a suspect as an African-American man with dreads. You can see a full sketch of that suspect here: http://buckhead.patch.com/articles/another-buckhead-victim-describes-carjacking

Always check out Dunwoody Patch! We'll have "what's on the menu" each week like we posted yesterday with the food trucks that will be there. On an inaugural food truck event, the lines will always be longer than usual, but it could be a great chance to catch up with neighbors and friends.
