End the Demand!


As I sit here a child is being sold into Slavery. I have come a long way in a short few months and most of it too me wasn't good but in the middle of the chaos I call my life I’m being drawn into becoming an advocate for Trafficked Children.

I have asked myself many of times why me? And how can I make a difference to a Billion Dollar industry? What makes me so special I can make a dent into something like Human Trafficking?  The moment I was self-aware of something so horrifying like child prostitution I asked myself Why Not? These are American Children who are sold into Slavery by a demand in our Culture.  Men/Women are buying our children for their personal sexual pleasures.

This is happening in our Cities, Small Town and yet, it’s a problem that we’re afraid to talk about.  I know I can’t sit back and do nothing.  As long as there is a demand, more children will be hurt and killed in this industry.

I would have to say I was part of the problem. I have watched porn movies, and I have been to a strip club and at the time I didn't see anything wrong with it. Too me I thought for sure these women wanted to be there. Yes, I said Women because I just assumed they consented to being there and they were indeed over the age of 18 years of age.  I thought for sure watching porn these women wanted to make sex videos.   It didn't cross my mind some of these Women were actually little girls sold into Slavery.  I contributed to this horrifying industry and I know that this industry is huge and the idea of it scares me now. I’m kind of sick that at one time I thought it was no big deal and I wasn't hurting anybody. If I knew better I wouldn't have done it. I would have been on the streets advocating for these children.

That’s why I’m here, I’m here to say I will not be the problem but I’ll be a voice for those in sexual  slavery who don’t have a voice.  Yes, I can make a difference in educating other people like me who care but don’t know they are contributing to the problem in our society.

If nothing else, I want to give awareness and educate to help end the demand. So please just say no! God Bless You!!


Our Children are not for Sale!!
