Why?


The most important aspect of why I became an advocate for DMST is because of Fear. Thought out this process of educating myself on the harsh realities on this billion dollar industry, I realized most of my life my reaction to situations were based on some form of fear I had which included the Fear of Failing, Fear of Judgment,  and the Fear of Rejection. All three of these I can give you great examples of why I developed them. I realized if I was going to advocate I needed to be open about my childhood, my years of abuse and my trauma’s to give the community an understanding we have a massive problem in our society when everyday people are looking away from an industry that is abusing our young children for profit. 
I understand the pain these children must be going through and thinking no one cares for them. They are trapped in a pit of hell. Sometimes we do things in our own survival that doesn’t necessarily mean society will accept it. The reason I said this because I know all too well of things I have done in my past to survival from one day to the next. Yes, I understand Abortion is a hot topic but for me it was done because I made a decision to fight for my life and I understand there are some people who see it differently and that’s okay to me.  
Abortion is the least of these problems in DMST. There are more horrifying stories these children have gone through or situations they have done to just get by day to day. I have lived an interesting life and dealt with some pretty harsh realities but it’s nothing that these children are facing day to day and my fear of judgment is nothing compared to the hell they are living and that’s why it’s important for me to give and show we really do need to find the strength within us to face the fasts these children are out there right now in the pits of hell doing unspeakable things to survive. It’s not about me or you but about them. It should always be for them.
Take care, Peace!!

We can make Change!

When you think of a "Scout" what comes to mind? Do you think of a person recruiting high school athletes for college sports? There is another "Scout", watching our children if they are the right commodity for sex trafficking. They are out there preying on our children right as I write this. They are everywhere, not just in bad parts of town. As a community, we can make a difference in a child's life to advocate for them and make our communities safer. If we choke the demand, less of our children will be exploited.

 The average age of a child sex trafficker is 13 years of age. Children as young as 8 years of age have been recruited into this industry. Please become a voice to share awareness. 

Please educate!
