I know the Houston girl hired by Ivanka Trump to head up the sex trafficking defense group Trump started up. He was the most prolific US President to mount a defense against sex trafficking or human trafficking. You must consider easily 50% to 75% or more of the trafficked kids are brought in from Haiti and Latin America. They are taken from either side of the border. So these stats below probably don't consider these immigrant children. These only consider US children. The US is the largest purveyor(user) of human trafficking in the world. But most of the kids are immigrants.
