Those numbers are grabbing the attention of two state lawmakers.
Democratic State Representative Susi Hamilton and Republican State Senator Thom Goolsby both plan to support a ruling that would take parental rights away from men considered "pimps."
The lawmakers say that the bill would make those men register as sex offenders.
Both lawmakers also want to help victims of sex trafficking, saying they'll help clear their record if they get off of drugs and get an education.
