Human Trafficking is a huge problem in our world today. Everyone would like to do their part to help stop it but is accusing a website the best way to do it? Wayfair, a common know website for selling cheap home good items, was recently accused of being part of a human trafficking chain. It all came about when a Reddic user noticed something weird in Wayfair cabinet sales. Many office cabinets that were nearly the same had very different prices; some cabinets got up to $14,499.99. To add on to that the cabinet titles were all named after girls. While doing some digging different databases found that the names of the cabinets matched names of girls that have gone missing. Conspiracy theorists thought that Wayfair had been putting the children into the cabinets and selling them to whoever was willing to buy.
There was no real evidence suggesting that Wayfair was part of this. Many big companies like Wayfair and Ikea name their inventory to keep track of it all. The sad truth is that 800,000 children are reported missing each year, the names of the cabinets coincided with the names of missing girls. There was also a woman linked to the website who did a Facebook live saying she was never actually missing. As for the prices being so high, Wayfair say that the cabinets are industrial grade and the prices listed are correct. No good came from this theory, many human trafficking hotlines became flooded with information during this time. This prevented them from helping the real callers.
I personally do not think that Wayfair is part of Human trafficking. There is no real evience suggesting that this is true. Wayfair is not the only company that names there products and the prices are so high due to good reason. I can see how many think Wayfair does have something to do with human trafficking but I personally do not think it is through there cabnets. I also think that this was an awful situation due to the hotlines being flooded and preventing them to help real people.
Do you think that Wayfair is part of the Human Trafficking chain?
How do you think the situation should have ended?
Do you think there is a good reason for the cops to investigate?

Great job Abbie!
I don't think it is a part of human trafficking. I think Wayfair should have just denied the charges and left it at that. Unless there is solid proof that they are apart of human tafficking I don't think they should get the cops involved and do a investigation.
I agree I dont think its apart of a human trafficing. I dont really see any reason for people to be taking up the hotlines if there is absulutly no evidence. I do think its weird that cabnits have names but if thats the way companies do it, they can do it.
I don't think that Wayfair is apart of human trafficking but I can see however how people would. I think that people shouldn't have called all the hotlines when people actually had to report cases of human trafficking. I don't think cops should investigate because their is no real evidence that Wayfair is apart of human trafficking.
I personaly don't think that Wayfair is part of Human Trafficking chain becasue there is no real evidence to prove that they are and there are reasons behind why they name their cabinates and the prices of them are accurate.
I dont think that wayfair is part of human trafficking because there is not enough evience to say that they are human trafficking but it is werd that there are cabinets that are over 10,000 dollars but there names might just be the names that they thought of
There is not enough evidence to support the theory, yet it is very suspicious that any cabinet has price of well over 10,000 us dollars. Wayfair is a respectable company, but if they have a link to human traficking even just a small one this could help with the battle that we are fightting against it in today's world.
I know! It is really suspicious that the cabinets were such a high price not to mention the different names and that different cabinets were such a high price. I also think there isn't enough evidence but I still think it would be okay for the cops to investigate.
I don't think that Wayfair is part of a human trafficking chain. As you said they did the same thing that Ikea does and named their products after people, so they are a little easier to tell apart. Since they used names of people of course some of these names are going to match with missing people’s names.
I think that there is enough evidence to warrant looking into the brand to see if there is any truth to these claims, and there have been scandals like this before, so if wayfair did end up being involved in something like this, while I would be horrified, I would not really be suprised. In the world we live in, there is a lot of evil like this to go around.
