Added DiffLines:

* ChildByRape: If the girls in the trafficking ring got pregnant, they'd be forced to carry to term and give birth so that the traffickers could then sell their babies.


Added DiffLines:

* IWillPunishYourFriendForYourFailure: The human traffickers kept the kids in line by punishing ''all'' of them if one of them messed up. This ensured the kids wouldn't run away when sent out to work or prostitute, because they were certain the others would be beaten or even killed if they ran; it also meant that if one of them ''did'' try to step out of line, the others would rein that one in for fear of punishment. This ultimately led to Micah killing Carly, his own sister, for trying to run, because he believed he and the others would be punished if she got away.

* EvenEvilHasStandards: While she may be a human trafficker with little care for the children she was trafficking, she admitted to having cut ties with her accomplices Liam and Julie Ryan after they murdered their workers when the police began to close in on their operation.
