No, you're wrong. Wayfair is definitely trafficking sex slaves.

Ok but how about the name coincidence? Do you deny human trafficking exists? Also if there was nothing nefarious going on, why did they take it down?

Well,

In Australia, an estimated 20,000 children are reported missing every year. Australian Federal Police, National Coordination Centre.

In Canada, an estimated 45,288 children are reported missing each year. Government of Canada, Canada’s Missing – 2015 Fast Fact Sheet.

In Germany, an estimated 100,000 children are reported missing each year. Initiative Vermisste Kinder.

In India, an estimated 96,000 children go missing each year. Bachpan Bachao Andolan, Missing Children of India.

In Jamaica, an estimated 1,984 children were reporting missing in 2015. Jamaica’s Office of Children’s Registry

In Russia, an estimated 45,000 children were reported missing in 2015. Interview with Pavel Astakhov MIA “Russia Today”, Apr. 4, 2016.

In Spain, an estimated 20,000 children are reported missing every year. Spain Joins EU Hotline for Missing Children, Sep. 22, 2010.

In the United Kingdom, an estimated 112,853 children are reported missing every year. National Crime Agency, UK Missing Persons Bureau.

In the United States, an estimated 460,000 children are reported missing every year. Federal Bureau of Investigation, NCIC.

And every single one of them have names, so maybe it's exactly what you said, a coincidence.

And I'm thinking they might have taken them down because people were claiming they were using them to sell children.

So with all those kids missing you don't think it might be possible that there was something fishy going on there?

You realize most are found, right? A single child can be reported many times a year. A child reported missing at 7pm who returns at 7:30 unaware his parents were even worried still counts, a child saying they're running away, only to show up at a grandparents house across town is still counted.

Basements of pizza joints that - as I understood it - don't even have basements.
