You Tube's censorship policy is ridiculous....these stories need to be told in full ....not half words , not censored . By not allowing these stories to be told in full without censorship is like abusing these victims again . I hope there will be a real alternative to YT soon.

As a teacher, I am trained to recognize the signs of human trafficking and view documentaries such as yours in the effort to become even more educated and aware of this global criminal enterprise and its impact on our children. You are truly an inspiration and I thank you!

After learning about human trafficking myself though most of what she said is not right. Like she says they told her not to tell anyone so she didn't for 20 years, she didn't choose to do that it is a symptom of trauma bonding a normal person would have fled the scene. But my sympathy kinda runs out because how long were the sentences? I saw one guy recently get 700 plus years for something similar which seems fair. So what happened here?

Your story is *so* important because more girls are recruited by girls and women than by men. We need to teach our girls that other girls can be *treacherous.*

Absolutely! This is what almost happened to me. It didn’t happen and it’s one of many reasons I believe in God. Not to get preachy but it’s a crazy story. Very close stories. I really, genuinely believed his girl was my friend. She QUICKLY became my best friend. I never saw her plan coming.

Wow Praise God!!!

As a young child, I was a SA victim, I was 5/6 I can’t quite recall my exact age. Then, when I was about 10/11, I had a friend who was my age as well, but she was VERY developed. I’m talking about a 10/11 year old with the body of a fully grown woman. I looked up to her, I was just getting out of my awkward kid phase, and one day, she told me she had a friend that wanted to meet me. She said she had older guy friends that gave her gifts. And me, still believing that the world was pink, was like 😮I like gifts 🎉 So I gave her my phone number. Back then it was a landline. So I pulled it as far away as I could to have some “privacy”😅 then I heard a males voice over the phone. He started saying “sweet things”. Then he said, I bet you’re more beautiful than “my friends name”. And I was like, oh no not anywhere near as pretty. And he insisted I was. Which was a huge lie 😅 I was the shortest in my class, super awkward, bullied all the time because everyone thought I was ugly and I agreed. Anywho, he said he wanted to meet me and that I should tell my parents I wanted to go to my friends house. The way he talked at this point was very “breathy” that’s the best way to describe it, and it really bothered me. I had heard that type of breathy voice before when I experienced my first SA. At that moment, alarms went off in my head, my body felt like it was going to collapse. And I had my first panic attack. My mom picked up the phone and was asking who was on the phone, by then they had put my friend on the phone. She made up a lie. The next day at school she had bruises. I never asked, and she never said anything about them. Then one day she never came back to school. I wonder about her sometimes. I’ve looked her up on Facebook and googled her name, but nothing. As an adult, this terrifies me, but it’s also made me very aware of every change my kids go through. They’re quite small still, but I’ve got a 6th sense about these things. I went to a church and there was this man with 2 small daughter and a son. He always scared me. I always felt something my was off with him. A year later, a case was opened where he was accused of SA of his own daughters. There have been other instances, but when I get that creep vibe, or I feel fear within me, I go momma bear mode. I am going to do everything within my power to save my kids from what I went through. I know I can’t avoid everything, but whatever I CAN control, I will. All for their well being.

I appreciate your story. Wow you went through too much and you deserved none of it! Just know its ok to hide it that time when we all do afterwards. You were a child worthy of love and protection and you are not to blame when preds target young people for that specific reason of being innocent/naive to them. Unfair and horribly cruel on them all. I'm sorry and wish you the best going forwards. You have that protective instinct that now will always be carried with you in the future. Your knowledge can protect future youth. You are amazing and strong as ever now! Wish you the best healing forwards💜

@@user-ju1hc7uu5c thank you for your kind words! And thank you for reading through all that. It’s hard to open up to friends and family so this was a way to get this out there. I’ve never told anyone about this, not even my therapist😓 it’s hard when you become thee butt of peoples jokes or you feel you’re targeted throughout your life. I try to make everyday count. I try and be present for my kids. I don’t want to miss any signs and I want my kiddos to know that I love and listen to them and am here if anything goes wrong or they feel they need support. I didn’t have that and that’s something I want for them. Many blessings to you and your loved ones!

I am 72 years old and I have escaped many situations I could have been taking advantage of. Bless you for telling your story.

I was the only kid growing up that wasn't made a victim by the neighborhood old man. Looking back there were so many red flags and not a single parent around paid any attention to us kids. There were a dozen or so of us and when I was 25, a old friend just straight up told me most of them were hurt by him. Her saying how strange it was this old guy was so nice and nobody questioned it is SO true. You need to look out for kids and just at least question things because nobody did for us, and nobody did for her. Please be vigilant and watch out for your kids. I hate this happened to her and I hate how it happened to the kids I grew up with.

Wow, YOU ARE AN AMAZING WOMAN! Everytime you feel shame I want you to remind yourself IT WASNT YOUR FAULT. ❤

Thanks for your story, glad u survived and to remind parents and guardians that children must be warned and protected from these predators, they are everywhere.

I never even realized it until just now that I was sold by a male childhood friend (but this happened as adults) to an all around hustler for a small amount of a substance. I developed what I consider to be Stockholm syndrome towards this man. I’ve cleaned my life up in the last 3 years but this man started coming back around recently and I had this horrible feeling in my body to stay away from him but I still felt those positive feelings about him also. But my worrisome feeling has been validated thanks to this video. It brought back all the memories I needed to see this person as he really is. I’m so grateful for your bravery in saying what happened to you. God bless you ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Not just strangers hurt children. Be aware of anyone trying to get close to your child. Teach them about not keeping secrets no matter what the bad person threatens. No one has a right to touch any part of your body but most of all the bathing suit section These are the important bits that need to be talked about. Sometimes strangers are the reason you get help.

But we need to stop that “especially men stuff” because there are countless women who are not only predators, but also the ones, just like in this story, who provide the boys and girls (in fact also adults) for others, and/or abuse their very own children.

Wow praise the Lord! Your mom is such a strong woman. And God was really with you. Wow young women are really so vulnerable. I just think how at 12/13 I was so eager for attention. As parents we must be strong for our kids and we really need to pray for intact families. Kids of broken families are so vulnerable to this.
