I loved it when Finn arrested her and said "In case you haven't noticed, Lincoln freed the slaves". That was awesome.

[MahsaKaerra]

What a heartless woman. Owns a child slave and is willing to run cover for the human traffickers, but it is the thought of wearing a prison uniform that changes her mind?

[violetdycon]

Episodes like these ones, show truly how horrible humanity can be at its lowest.

[archit]

I like how she says she's not a slave and then describes involuntary servitude as if its not the next three words after slavery in the 13th amendment.

[RayRay_]

A lot of people don't realize that slavery still goes on today. This episode was dark, but I'm glad these sort of things exist to shed light on these things.

[jamespoledna]

Human trafficking is just another word for slavery. Slavery is the most evil inhumane crime in human history!

[DRCR]

Such a dark episode, but probably one of Fin's finest moments.

[lexisinka]

This was one of Finn’s best episodes by far. He was adamant on making sure those people payed for what they did to those children.

[krwmpss]

“In case you haven’t heard Lincoln freed the slaves”, has and still is a amazing line

[WarGrowlmon]

It's not even a ritual sacrifice: the monster did that as a cover up so that Wifey wouldn't find out about the little boy when she unexpectedly came home early. Hint: he wasn't using him as a maid.🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

[feelingoffbalance]

It has to be the worst of humanity. I found out recently from someone who was on Ukraine border with Poland, that human traffickers waited there for women and children escaping the war. Who are these monsters??

[annien.]

The ending made my blood boil.😡 No child should ever go through that kind of horror. The looks on their faces says it all. Those poor kids don't deserve to suffer like that.

[peterthosegriffins]

Some Law and Order episodes are very difficult to stomach, especially when they take inspiration from recent cases. This case is similar to that of "Adam" a still unidentified child who was found mutilated in the Thames. If you look into the case, it's pretty apparent they have a good idea who was involved but don't have enough evidence

[mikewright]

All she cares about is keeping up with her friends. Doesn’t care if she has to use slave labor to do it. And the girl was scared and didn’t want to say anything but as soon as they mentioned her brother she found the courage. 😢

[dnhqnmx]

She pays her in room and board? Sounds like slavery lol

[TheKrispyfort]

Supposedly a couple of years ago a man was apparently arrested for assault and the police then found a shipping container on his property with some women chained inside.

Rural Australia.

This shyte happens everywhere 😢

Spoilers for the episode ...




The first crime is sort of a red herring to lead to the real meat of the episode, which is about the slavery ring from Nigeria. For anyone wondering if the Voodoo thing meant anything for the first murder, it didn't. In fact, its was mentioned the murder 'couldn't' be a voodoo sacrifice since it happened near a lake, which I guess is a big no-no when it comes to voodoo sacrifices. The boy was bought as a slave and r*ped repeatedly until his owner was done with him and killed him to make it look like a sacrifice.

As for the slavery ring itself, they find the slave traders who show no remorse (not surprisingly) and don't want to play nice. The Nigerian woman the detectives went to for the missing children? She's a consul and she was there when they found the slave ring leader and informs him he will be deported back to Nigeria where he will be executed, which in Nigeria means death by firing squad where she delights in telling him he will be shot in the ankles first, so that the gunman can walk up calmly towards him and take point-blank shots at his vital organs.

As someone who is friends with a lot of Santeria, Vodoun and other African Diaspora religious practitioners, and who has participated in many of these cultures' rituals, I am very glad this show used its voice to stand up against the religious bigotry and ignorance that practitioners of these religions face, every day.
No one in any temple i have been in has ever sacrificed a person, and when they do do animal sacrifice, what is done isnt much different than what any rural person does when they want a chicken dinner. The only difference between what is done in ceremony vs the farm is that we share our chicken dinner with the Gods as honored guests first before eating it.

Heartbreaking. And a brutal reminder of child trafficking, and its devastating consequences.

This was an actual case I think In the uk or us. But the boy was kidnapped and brought to the uk and of course his body was found like the one in this video. They had to trace the boy body back and he was from Africa and the mom actually thought they was helping her with her son just to find out they tricked her into getting her son only to be used as a sacrificed.
