The Scope of Child Sex Trafficking 0:10 We welcome you to chapter 26 of the book, Reversed from Culturally Woke to biblically awake. I suppose this chapter is 1 of0:22 the most unpleasant ones to talk about. We've had some tough ones we've dealt with. This is about as bad as it gets. It's the phenomenon of child sex0:34 trafficking in our culture. These numbers indicate that over 150000000000 dollars was made in 20 20. And they0:46 made this statement. This is this is not pleasant to talk about. Drugs and weapons can be sold once. A child can be sold repeatedly. It's a low risk,0:57 high income crime. The numbers are absolutely astounding. 72 percent of the victims are being trafficked for sexual exploitation.1:10 85 percent of the victims are women. The age average age of children being trafficked is age 12, and it goes all1:22 the way down to age 5. How is that possible? These children are exploited for purposes of pornography websites, sold into1:34 child sex rings, forced into prostitution, and coerced coerced into sex related occupations such as nude dancing and modeling.1:46 The traffickers sometimes actually they're family members who will sell a member of their family for income. Most of the traffickers are females. But right1:57 now it's being reported that the number of traffickers of females is increasing traumatically because they're so successful in attracting children into this line.2:10 While I was writing this book, a friend of mine told me the story of his daughter Hannah right in the town in which I live in San Diego. She went to see a particular band playing at a2:22 club And she was talking to a lady, struck up a conversation, the lady in the next booth. That lady's, it turned out, without her knowing it. Now this was told to me by the father of this2:34 young girl, I'll call Hannah, not her real name. That that lady she met slipped something into her drink. She realized something was wrong. She went to the bathroom. And2:46 fortunately, before those people could haul her away off to presumably, they were gonna cross the line and take her into Mexico. Another couple discovered that. The individuals were gonna2:58 take take her came into the bathroom and discovered that somebody else had got there 1st, protecting her. And they said, Oh, no. No. She's 1 of us. She's 1 of us. And I said, Wait a minute. We don't we don't think so.3:08 We're gonna call authorities. Which they did. And my friend's daughter was saved by 2 assertive people who were a little questioning of what was going on with young Hannah3:20 in in that in that bathroom. That's how close my friend came in losing his daughter possibly forever. They told me that. He was shaken by it3:32 and well he should be. And then we have the phenomena of sexting. These are young people oftentimes participating themselves, sing sending self nude photos of themselves. 30 percent of teens3:44 say they have sexted, and 40 percent have received a sext. Of the 30 percent who have sexted, 40 percent 46 percent of those are involved in sextortion.3:57 It's an extortion of sexual pictures. What is happening to our country? A pornography that's widespread. We used to think of it being primarily men and4:08 now 17 percent of women say they watch porn. We used to think of it as Hugh Hefner and Playboy magazine. Now every cell phone has everything on4:20 it in that nature as well. Jesus warned. He warned strongly that if you do harm to a child, you're gonna pay dearly for it. Moms and4:32 dads, as difficult as this is, I know you have to watch with great care your children. As difficult as it is, you you don't allow your child to have4:44 a cell phone or just have an old flip phone as long as you can avoid it. And make sure the computers are always where you can see it. Or have a buddy system where you can monitor4:56 what's going on. It's difficult today's culture to watch over this, but you can't do enough to protect your child in the culture in which we find ourselves. Trying to help us5:08 go from being culturally woke to biblically awake.A Prayer for the Captives 5:16 Father, we come today pleading for your help. We seek your divine protection for all who are exploited and enslaved, For those forced into labor,5:28 trafficked into sexual slavery, and denied freedom, we cry out to you to release them from their chains. Set the captives free, father. Give them protection, safety, and5:39 deliverance from this evil system and every form of bondage in Jesus' name. We cry out for your supernatural intervention and exposure of the perpetrators5:51 that they be apprehended and dealt with. And Lord, that this curse that is upon our nations be delivered from us now and we thank you and give you the6:03 glory for what you are doing in Jesus' name. Amen.6:08 We hope you enjoyed the video.
