Two years ago, News 12 spoke to Melani, who spoke out while taking the Turn To Tara team on a tour of the unexpected places women and children are being bought and sold in the Hudson Valley. Her story prompted widespread outrage and especially hit home for young activists. But sadly, News 12 learned that despite increased attention to the problem, the numbers have only grown worse.
