Snohomish County team to battle child sex trade


Proverbs 31:8-9

Crafty & Tricky

Sex is a powerful motivator.  satan knows it and uses it whenever he can.  Unfortunately, it's often in the most sickening of ways.  I will never know who she is but I applaud the woman who had the courage to go to the police when she knew something about the alleged assailant was wrong.  Very wrong.  I usually avoid personal opinions in these posts but I pray for justice in this case.  This man's alleged attacks and mode of operation makes me sick to my stomach.  It is just this type of person, though, who keeps women believing they have no options once they have been prostituted.  They are told and quickly believe they are sub-human and no longer count.  Bravo to the woman who came forward first and bravo to his subsequent victims who have identified him as their assailant.

Longview, WA.  A couple of hours south.  Truth is, we don't have to go that far.  There would be so many of these cases your jaw would drop if you knew of them all.  Please...learn all you can to identify trafficking.  Most people think sex trafficking but domestic and other forms of labor trafficking actually make up 60% of the world's trafficking victims.  60% of 29 million people...  That's a lot of people doing forced or coerced labor for little to no pay.

Same story, Different day

I wonder...will it come to light that the owner of Java Jugs forced these girls to do this, to bring in business?  When will we begin to seriously teach our daughters this is not ok and if someone tries to force you into this, no amount of money is worth the damage it will do to you - at least emotionally and probably physically.

No Words. It's Just Sickening

I am not surprised at all by what is alleged in this article and that makes me angry and sad.  I am only surprised it hasn't happened sooner than now.

And in Kent...

It's under the radar...kind of.  Far too common and it is always so gratifying to read when the police can get there before the bad guy but knowing (1) this guy isn't so unusual and (2) they succeed far too often (once is far too often...) is what keeps me up at night.  People becoming aware of what happens in their own community is key to shutting this stuff down.  Something seems odd, doesn't sit right?  Call the police.  You might be surprised to find they already know and are investigating or it could be your phone call that saves a child from horrors unspeakable.
