BIG ISSUE IN A SMALL WORLD

JUST A WARNING TO THE READER!! THIS DOES NOT HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH WHAT I AM DOING IN HAWAII BUT MORE TO DO WITH AN INJUSTICE THAT LIGHTS A FIRE IN ME!!! SOMETHING THAT IS SO DISGUSTING BUT A BIGGER WORLD ISSUE THAN PEOPLE CHOOSE TO BELIEVE. SO PLEASE DONT READ THIS AS IT BEING AN UPDATE BUT MORE TO OBTAIN KNOWLEDGE ABOUT SOMETHING THAT IS AFFECTING CHILDREN AROUND THE WORLD. AFTER READING THIS IF YOU FEEL COMPELLED TO PRAY PLEASE DO SO AS THAT IS ALL THAT MOST OF US CAN DO FOR THIS HORRIFIC ISSUE. THANKS!!

SEX TRAFFICKING AND EXPLOITATION AROUND THE WORLD is a huge issue. Cambodia is one of the main places that this happens but it also is majorly present in South Africa, America, Laos, and other huge countries withing Asia but also the world. There are many different ways that these children are captured and it all depends on where you are. Some places the families are promised money, some places the girl are raped and told sense they are no longer virgins that prostitution is all they are good for, some places they are kidnapped, but no matter how the child is obtained the issue is still horrible no matter what he circumstances. It is now completely illegal in ALL countries to sleep with a minor (child under the age of 18) yet in most third world countries government officials, police agents, and even judges can be paid off. This is something i feel needs a raised awareness. It is hard to hear these stories and ignore them but to think that westerners go into these small poor countries preying on small children (most being girls from the ages of 5-16) yes i said FIVE YEAR OLDS, is disgusting. One of the saddest things is, when people go in to rescue these children, they dont want to leave. They have learned to love the hand that feeds them, even if it is the one exploiting them as well. Most will try to resist rescue because they are told that if they leave their families will become poor and sick. They are brainwashed into thinking these lies so that they will not want to leave. The sad thing is it works.

One thing that needs to be made known is that this is not just a problem in poor countries. It happens right here in the US. Normally a girl is loured into a car and told she will get a good paying job. She is then taken across state borders into a city and taught what she will be doing, along with how to do her make up and hair, what clothes she will wear, and how to get the men! That will happen or the kids will be kidnapped. According to SCTNOW.ORG each year 200,000 american children are at risk for sex traficking and in a year one young girl will make around $200,00. THis does not include the children that are brought to America from other countries. The subject matter is horrific.

The point of this is not to feel hopeless. IT is easy to sit back and think that nothing can be done. This is wrong. God is bigger than any pimp or brothel. Prayer is one of the best ways of fighting what is going on. IT is important to pray for the men that prey on small children. Kids can be rescued from these situations but there will always be another kid to take their place, if we run out of pedophiles then the "industry" stops. I am now asking for prayer. These kids need self worth and to know that they are loved. THey need to know that what they are doing is not their fault. They have done nothing wrong. THey need trust in God.
