Will thank you Jedediah. Unfortunately, just a jaw dropping stun going sad story. Thirty nine children were found in Georgia in a two week mission called operation, not forgotten, authorities, arresting nine suspects, also in Ohio, twenty five children rescued by U Dot S marshals, saying one in four of them are victims of human trafficking. The agency is looking to find about two hundred more missing kids, just in northeastern Ohio alone, Nancy Grace its a happy story to the extent that these kids were found to me, its a sad story that just exists im. Sorry, if im Naive, Nancy im stunned this number of children, this number of missing children, this kind of criminal enterprise being found in two states. What do we need to know here? How common is this Good news, bad news operation, not forgotten, is going on

it spanned a two hour swath between Atlanta and Macon Netting, thirty, nine children saved or identified, and nine perps behind bars on serious charges, including sex trafficking of a child. Just let that soak in just a moment. Then we have operation safety net in Cleveland there, children, as in Georgia as young as thirteen years old one found all the way in Miami. I hope youre sitting down, I hope youre sitting down 421000 plus children went 421000. Plus children went missing Heres the problem. Many of them are described as runaways. The reality is about one in four are being sex trafficked. I remember my first sex trafficking, investigation and jury trial. The cops sent me into the room. The cops sent me into the room 13 year old girl. I said where 13 year old girl, I said: where is she I dont see her? They is she. I dont see her they 35 year old woman, 35 year old woman,

I didnt even recognize her and its all under the radar. We see these children at shopping malls in hotels in parking lots theyre there will its almost as written out of an HBO series. Nancy. When I see something like is going on in Georgia and in Ohio. Are these individual instances that the authorities are all cracking down on at the same time? Or is this a criminal conspiracy, a single entity, thats trafficking, these kids? Well, no, no, no, its, not a single entity. Very often it could be one pimp, but then there are other times that multiple typically men, but women too. If you look at the defendants in this case, some of them are women work together. They collaborate on getting children, putting them in houses and keeping them there, beating them into submission, not letting them leave. So youll see several pimps at once with child sex traffickers,

or just one will Nancy. I want to get your opinion on this story. Lacey Peterson, in pain after Scot Peterson, his death sentence is overturned. I wanted to get your reaction well. Many of us have still stayed in touch very close touch of the Scot Peterson guilty verdict, and I can tell you that Laceys family is in such pain, devastated, remember Sharon, Roach, Laceys mother went out and tried to keep the death penalty. The majority in California voted not to repeal it, but Governor Newsom has put a moratorium on it. That means Scot Peterson will soon be in general population right now. Hes still San Quentin until either side decides to appeal this ruling well see. If that happens, many people are arguing the cost of retrying the penalty phase on Scot Peterson in the death of his wife lacey eight months

pregnant, an unborn son Connor. I think they may go forward with, will Nancy grace this morning, im still stunned, as you said, four hundred and twenty thousand kids two big operations in Georgia and just stunning.
