70 Kids Helped from Sex Traffic: Silence was their Tormenter!

Homeland security recently recovered 70 children. I find it deeply saddening that people can take kids and exploit them at the age of 10 for their own benefit. Many of these kids come from deeply disturbing homes and they have no choice but to run. At the end of the day it is others who pick them up and exploit them more leaving a trail of shattered trust (They have no where to go and no where to turn.).

 When they grow up we may find many of them in prison and that is a perpetuating problem. We are so accustomed to school violence, exploitation, and targeting kids for personal gain that there are few to no rules. Rules are on the legal books but not in our collective conscious. It is all dependent on who sees, who reports, who follows up, and who believes these things are wrong. 

I have never quite understood how seemingly ( I can only say seemingly because it is not my place to judge the depths of a soul, where it has been, or its distortion.) souless people can do whatever they want without facing personal remorse. It is also souless that we often turn a blind eye to such behaviors and don't get involved when a phone call could have changed everything. For these 70 kids it might have.

I find it somewhat confusing that somewhere in our society we have deemed these behaviors "ok" by default by not saying anything. You can't tell me 70 kids disappear and no one sees anything. The parents are almost never held to account, people line up to exploit, and very few actually stand up to stop it. I think we owe our nation's kids more than silence.

This is central to law enforcement. It isn't pandering to certain politics, friends, groups, races, or religions. It is to protect and serve the population. Our children are more sacred then all the oaths we pledge. When they go after people like this I'm 100% in support of law enforcement. The intentional targeting of children here, lone gunman or "super cool" people should never be accepted in our society (Each has their own tool and solution.). It is we who decide whether to accept such behavior or not.

If you have seen something...make a call, fill out a complaint, do something.
