Modern-day slavery even happens in Silicon Valley
http://www.mercurynews.com/bay-area-news/ci_29502081/modern-day-slavery-even-happens-silicon-valleyAs many teens do, B and her friends used to call up boys to be silly and flirt a bit.
But one day, after getting into an argument with her family, she called up a man she had met through a chat line and asked him to come pick her up from her suburban Sacramento neighborhood.
He did, and on that day B--not yet 16--lost her freedom.
The man held her captive inside a Bay Area apartment and forced her into prostitution the next two years.
