That's the address of a Washington Post article from September 2, 2015, called "The fishy claim that '100,000 children' in the United States are in the sex trade."
It's the first result for a Google search of the term "children in cages sex trafficking."
I have gotten every number that I'm publishing on this page from the Washington Post article, unless I have stated that there is another source.
If there are 100,000 prostitutes, total, in the United States, and 1 in 20 men seek to pay for sex, doesn't that mean that there are about 4,821,000 men in the United States who seek to pay for sex from 100,000 prostitutes?
Those are some tired prostitutes, even if they're all adults.
I got the number 4,821,000 starting from the Post's report that a study showed that "1 in 20" men seek to pay for sex. A census from 2015 reported about 321,400,000 people in the United States, of which total about half were female and also of which total about 40% were under 18 or over 65. 5% of the remaining number, to calculate 1 in 20 for an estimate of the number of men between 18 and 65, got a number of 4,821,000.
That's the address of the census page.
It's possible that I calculated the 4,821,000 wrong. Maybe someone else could calculate it better.
The Washington Post article says that the reports from which the number of 100,000 trafficked children was taken as a low estimate are from the 1990s, and follows that paragraph by saying:
"But the problems don't end there," meaning the problems with the accuracy of the low estimate of 100,000 exploited children.
The Internet was less of a factor for everything in the 1990s, which the Post article says later:
"The Internet has moved the sex trade off the streets, making it even less visible."
Why does the Washington Post say that the reports from the 1990s are outdated and then seem to think that the years since then that the Internet has made the perpetrators of sex trade much more difficult to investigate and prosecute mean that there are fewer children being trafficked since the 1990s and not more?
You have to recover the kids for them to be able to report what has happened to them.
When they're locked in cages, they can't tell anyone anything.
The Post article ends by listing all the people and organizations who stopped quoting the 100,000 number for exploited children because of the Post's discrediting of it, which was probably the Post's goal more than doing anything to help the victims of sexual abuse was.
Now, that article is at the beginning of the Google search results for the search term "children in cages sex trafficking," placed there to try to discredit everything after it, because the conglomerate has an agenda of promoting rape.
No matter what any of the numbers are, the title of the Post article is another conglomerate dirty joke.
