Folks, please don’t forget that LouisianaVoice is presently conducting its fall fund drive and I desperately need your help in keeping the flow of fresh, thorough, investigative stories coming. I’m about to embark on a field I’ve never covered before but which has been brought to my attention: human trafficking of babies for adoption.

Adoption scams are about the worst type of criminal activity out there, with the exception of the trafficking of young girls for prostitution—another area not previously covered by LouisianaVoice but certainly not immune from our examination.

It doesn’t matter if you have ever adopted a child, know an adopted child, or ever intend to adopt. If there are people profiting from illegal activity in this field, you should want it exposed.

We live in a sick society, as evidenced by the proliferation of drugs, high crime rates, extreme poverty even as the 1 percent get wealthier, violence such as the Las Vegas shootings, lax enforcement of criminal violations by those with money and influence by authorities from the U.S. attorney general to the Louisiana attorney general and to local district attorneys, and, of course, human trafficking.

Not to be overly boastful, but LouisianaVoice the only medium that is working to expose wrongdoing on a consistent basis. Others do so sporadically but as soon as the next hot news story comes along, it’s forgotten, pushed to the bottom of the to-do list.

Please help me to continue doing this. Click on the yellow “DONATE” button to the right of this post and give what you can by credit card or send a check to:
