CHILD SEX TRAFFICKING AND CHILD PORNOGRAPHY ARE MULTI-BILLION DOLLAR BUSINESSES AND OUR CHILDREN ARE THE 'PRODUCTS' UP FOR SALE.
Traffickers and buyers of children for sex encompass all racial, socio-economic and cultural groups.
In a 2014 interview published in The Guardian, former British Health Minister and former Child Protection Manager Lord Warner stated that “Children’s homes” were a “supply line” for pedophiles among the powerful elite.
The problem of child sex trafficking is so widespread, reaching to the highest levels of society, that an International Tribunal had to convene outside the jurisdiction of any nation’s government to deal with the problem.
State Department Report: U.S. #1 in Sex Trafficking – 60% of American Child Sex Slaves Come Out of Foster Care.
If there’s one takeaway, it’s that the industry is fueled by an unceasing demand.
One in three teens will be recruited by a pimp within 48 to 72 hours of running away from home.
“We work with victims that are 3 years old and up. The average victim that we work with, that’s over 18, started being raped at three."
WHERE ARE THE MANY THOUSANDS OF MISSING AMERICAN CHILDREN WHO DISAPPEAR EACH YEAR NEVER TO BE HEARD FROM AGAIN?
SOME HAVE LATER BEEN IDENTIFIED IN CHILD PORNOGRAPHY AND/OR CHILD TORTURE VIDEOS DISCOVERED BY LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES, BUT FEW COULD EVER BE LOCATED AND RESCUED.
THERE ARE WEBSITES WHERE PAYING VIEWERS CAN REQUEST CAPTIVE CHILDREN BE TORTURED IN EXPLICIT WAYS
CHILD SEX TRAFFICKING HAS BEEN REPORTED IN ALL 50 AMERICAN STATES.

123 missing children found in Michigan during sex trafficking operation
"In addition to the missing children in Michigan, officers in the operation obtained information about two missing children in Texas and another in Minnesota. Those cases are being actively investigated, officials said.
“The message to the missing children and their families that we wish to convey is that we will never stop looking for you,” the U.S. Marshals Service said.
THERE ARE OVER 300,000 CHILDREN PROSTITUTED, SOLD OR "RENTED" AS SEX SLAVES, IN THE U.S. EVERY YEAR.
Research indicates that 1 in 4 girls and 1 in 5 boys is sexually abused before their 18th birthday. How big is it?
Across the globe, it is a $32 billion industry each year, and human trafficking is on the rise in the United States.
In one 2014 study by the Urban Institute in Atlanta, Georgia some child traffickers in Atlanta make more than $32,000 a week.
Furthermore, the same study also cited research discovering that Atlanta’s illegal sex industry generates around $290 million a year.
TWO MILLION CHILDREN ARE "TRADED" ACROSS THE GLOBE EVERY YEAR.
It is not something that we as a society want to recognize, want to acknowledge, and have to fight. It's horrifying and depressing. It makes us feel uncomfortable. Yet, child sex trafficking is all around us. It's in all our cities, and even in our neighborhoods.
The number of children being contacted by sexual predators online is disturbing.
Approximately one out of every seven children is sexually contacted, or solicited, by a predator while online.
Furthermore, many of these children are seriously pursued online by these predators, singling out these children in an attempt to lure them in.
Pedophilia – a ‘love for children’ – is not an accurate term.
There is no love for children manifest in any aspect of child slavery, sexual abuse, torture, murder, or body harvesting.
For this reason the inaugural seating of the Commission of Inquiry into Human Trafficking & Child Sex Abuse, at the behest of ITNJ Commissioner Carine Hutsebaut (a criminologist and psychotherapist) the term ‘Pedopredation,’ has been designated as a more appropriate term.
OUR CHILDREN ARE PREY
Anyone who has read much here in the Tea Room knows that I put CHILDREN, ALL CHILDREN, at the top of the list of what we should be most protective of, of what we should value MOST highly.
I don't care at all if those children are in the Middle East, Asia, island nations, Africa, Europe or here.
They are the highest priority to me.
I've written much about the plight of children and have wished that our young could somehow bring us all to a place of unity, so that all of us did what is best for THEM, not for ourselves or for our deranged, power-hungry governments.
CHILDREN SHOULD COME FIRST IN ALL 'MEDIA/POLICE INVESTIGATIONS'.
There IS, there truly IS a criminal cabal that has commoditized children as expendable "troops" to fight in their wars, who trade in children for their sexual pleasures, who kidnap and hold children to exercise their control over the parents and others, and, in some cultures, who use the very young, babies mostly, to carry out their pathetic ideas that they can be used in rituals to "obtain cures or immortality".
About 65,000 cases of KNOWN child sex abuse are reported annually, according to the American Society for the Positive Care of Children, a national non-profit that compiles child abuse statistics.
HOW MANY ARE NOT KNOWN, ARE UNREPORTED?
DARE WE IMAGINE FAR MORE THAN ARE?
It appears that America's own government agencies are covering up much of this.
Case in point, failure of the Department of Justice and FBI:
"March 10, 2016 – The Department of Justice filed a motion in Washington State federal court on Friday to dismiss its indictment against a child porn site.
It wasn’t for lack of evidence; it was because the FBI didn’t want to disclose to the defense team details of [one of their own] hacking tool as part of discovery.
Evidence in United States v. Jay Michaud hinged at least in part on information federal investigators had gathered by exploiting a vulnerability in the Tor anonymity network.
The case involves Jay Michaud, a school administrator from Vancouver, Washington, who was arrested in July 2015 for allegedly viewing child porn images on Playpen.
Michaud's case was one of at least 137 cases brought throughout the U.S. in relation to Playpen, a website that operated on the Tor anonymity network and which the FBI managed to seize in 2015.
Instead of shutting the website down immediately, the FBI let it operate for an additional 13 days during which time it deployed malware on its visitors' computers in order to obtain their real IP addresses and later identify them.
The judge agreed that there was a law enforcement need to keep details of the tool secret, but in May ruled that the government can't both keep the tool secret and use the information gathered with it as evidence at trial. It had to be one or the other."
SO THE IGNOBLE FBI CHOSE TO KEEP THEIR 'TOOL' SECRET, EVEN THOUGH THAT MEANS THEY CAN NEVER, EVER PROSECUTE ANYONE THEY LOCATE WHILE USING IT?
WHAT'S THE POINT IN HAVING A 'TOOL' THAT NEVER DELIVERS PEDOPHILES TO A COURT OF JUSTICE?
IS THE FOLLOWING REAL JUSTICE?
NOT TO ME.
THEY SHOULD FREE HER AND HELP HER FIND TREATMENT FOR HER TRAUMA.
HOW MANY DID HIS DEATH SAVE FROM THE HORRORS HE HAD INFLICTED ON OTHERS?
December 18, 2019
"A Wisconsin teenager is facing life in prison for killing a prolific pedophile who she says started having sex with her when she was 16.
Chrystul Kizer, now 19, confessed to killing Randy Volar, who was out on bail while accused of filming himself abusing about a dozen girls, some looking to be as young as 12, the Washington Post said.
Kizer’s case could prove a testing ground for “affirmative defense” laws that allow victims to be acquitted of some crimes if they prove they committed them because they were being trafficked.
However, a judge on Dec. 9 overruled Kizer’s initial bid to apply the law — and prosecutors maintain that the killing was premeditated.
When he was killed, Volar had been free without bail despite an investigation into charges including child sexual assault, child enticement and using a computer to facilitate a child sex crime.
Her lawyer is appealing the ruling."
A VERY SHORT LIST OF CHILD SEX ABUSE CASES IN THE USA (JUST FOLLOW THE LINKS WITHIN THE ARTICLES):
-- CHILD 'PROTECTIVE' SERVICES, DHS, FOSTER CARE AGENCIES; WORST OF THEM ALL. One of the most comprehensive surveys of abuse in foster care was conducted in conjunction with a Baltimore lawsuit.
Trudy Festinger, head of the Department of Research at the New York University School of Social Work, determined that over 28 per cent of the children in state care had been abused while in the system. In Maryland, a study found that substantiated allegations of sexual abuse in foster care are four times higher than that found among the general population.
In Louisiana, a study conducted in conjunction with a civil suit found that 21 percent of abuse or neglect cases involved foster homes.
In Missouri, a study found that 57 percent of the sample children were placed in foster care settings that put them "at the very least at a high risk of abuse or neglect."
-- *BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA CHILD SEX ABUSE CASES
-- CATHOLIC DIOCESE CHILD SEX ABUSE CASES
The New York Archdiocese alone has posted the names of 120 clergy "credibly accused" of sexually abusing a minor on its website. Those clergy, and others who've been named across the country, may have worked at multiple churches, creating claims in all of them.
More than 13 states have launched investigations into sex abuse within the Catholic Church.
The New York list did not include the assignment histories of the priests, the number of victims or names of clergy from other religious orders who worked in the archdiocese. Some orders have released their own lists.
“The downside is that it’s a bad list,” McKiernan said.
“It leaves off religious order priests. It leaves off so-called ‘externs,’ which are priests officially incardinated, as they call it, in a different diocese but working and sometimes abusing in New York.”
-- DAYCARE CHILD SEX ABUSE CASES
Our own mainstream media has actually downplayed these heinous acts on our youngest, with mainstream media like the Washington Post calling it "hysteria".
HYSTERIA?
Like the McFarland Case, the recent Medford, Oregon daycare case and hundreds of others?
Would Washington Post call it hysteria if it was THEIR helpless children being victimized?
WHY doesn't WaPo investigate why those who ADMIT to sexually abusing daycare children are able to make "plea deals" like the case of the woman accused of sexually abusing children in her Ohio daycare bit will serve just 30 days in prison as part of a plea deal?
-- HIGH SCHOOL TEACHERS AND COACHES CHILD SEX ABUSE CASES.
One of every 10 students becomes a target of sexual misconduct that includes such behavior as unwanted sexual comments, inappropriate touching, and even rape.
And such cases are grossly under-reported.
As policymakers consider a response, teachers, parents and students can be alert to recognize classic “grooming” patterns that are precursors to the sexual abuse of children.
Coaches or teachers suspected of abuse tend to single out students for special treatment, lavishing them with attention and rewards. They become unusually close to children, finding ways to spend time with them privately in school and on trips outside of school.
Recognizing these techniques and reporting them are the keys to stopping predators from abusing children, experts say.Another effective step, experts say, is to ban the practice of “passing the trash,” a phrase that describes when a suspected school employee is allowed to resign quietly and without consequences."
The Chicago Tribune says Chicago Public Schools officials failed to protect hundreds of students who were sexually abused by school employees, according to a newspaper investigation.
--FEDERAL EMPLOYEES AND CHILD PORN
December 5, 2016
"Explicit images of minors have been discovered on many federal workers' computers across the government. To outwit monitoring systems, federal employees who traffic in child pornography have resorted to encrypting their communications to avoid detection."
AND IT'S STILL GOING ON.
JULY 3, 2019Defense Department Computer Network Among Top Sharers of Child Pornography"An untold number of Department of Defense (DOD) employees and contractors have subscriptions to child pornography websites, and the problem is apparently pervasive.
"The notion that the Department of Defense's network and Pentagon-issued computers may be used to view, create, or circulate such horrifying images is a shameful disgrace, and one we must fight head on," said Rep. Abigail Spanberger.

"New allegations rocking the State Department involve alleged incidents during Hillary Clinton's tenure as Secretary of State.
NBC News has obtained documents tied to ongoing investigations at the State Department involving eight cases of alleged misconduct by state department workers, contractors, and a United States ambassador. The incidents reportedly occurred during Hillary Clinton’s tenure, according to the documents.
An internal Inspector General memo from last October reported the ambassador under investigation “routinely ditched his protective security detail in order to solicit sexual favors from both prostitutes and minor children.”
The report also states that a high-ranking official at the State Department directed investigators to “cease the investigation.”

"A number of clients — lawyers, doctors and business executives — used corporate credit cards to procure escort services and a number of military officers from the United States and allied countries — including one foreign officer using a "Department of Defense" credit card — charged male escort services.
"We have known for many, many years that there is a department of the KGB [Soviet intelligence] whose job it is to prey on sexual deviants," said retired Lt. Gen. Daniel Graham, former head of the Defense Intelligence Agency.
Because "closet" homosexuals in government service can be easily "turned" through blackmail for espionage purposes, Gen. Graham said, "we have always in intelligence tried very hard not to be giving classified information to known homosexuals."
Although the confiscated material was turned over to District police on the scene, witnesses and law enforcement agents say the Secret Service kept one box containing names and other information about high-level government officials who were clients of the male escort business.
Witnesses to the February raid said 12 Secret Service agents in blue parkas entered the house and spent several hours collecting and removing boxes of files.
Operators of the ring told The Times that videotapes, audio tapes and still photographs were made of sex acts performed by clients and the call boys, including perverted acts.
Documents show that customers were charged for "videotapes" from the operation.
Michael Hedges and Jerry Seper of The Washington Times reported that "Mr. Spence hinted the tours were arranged by 'top level' persons", including Donald Gregg, national security adviser to Vice President George H. W. Bush at the time of the tours were given.

Elijah woods may be seen as the most "credible" witness against Hollywood pedophilia so far.
“If you’re innocent you have very little knowledge of the world and you want to succeed,” explained Elijah of the poor children and their parents who become easy prey as they seek out their dreams of becoming Hollywood stars.
In his interview, Wood summed up this notion perfectly when he said, “People with parasitic interests will see you as their prey.” And, unfortunately, they continue to get away with it."

-- FLORIDA SCHOOL FOR BOYS AND OTHER CHILD INCARCERATION FACILITIES.
"Throughout its 111-year history, the Florida "reform school" gained a reputation for abuse, beatings, rapes, torture, and even murder of students by staff.
Despite periodic investigations, changes of leadership, and promises to improve, the allegations of cruelty and abuse continued.
After the school failed a state inspection in 2009, the governor ordered a full investigation.
Many of the historic and recent allegations of abuse and violence were confirmed by separate investigations by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement in 2010, and by the Civil Rights Division of the United States Department of Justice in 2011.
They identified 55 burials on the grounds, most outside the cemetery, and documented nearly 100 deaths at the school.
State authorities closed the school permanently in June 2011. At the time of its closure, it was a part of the Florida Department of Juvenile Justice."

DID HE HAVE THE GOODS ON OTHER PREDATORS IN HIGH PLACES THERE?
ANOTHER POSSIBLE MISCARRIAGE OF JUSTICE IS THE 'BACKPAGE SCANDAL' WHICH SEEMS TO BE GOING NOWHERE.
IT APPEARS SOME ARE ABOVE THE LAW, OR ELSE THEY, TOO, HAVE INFORMATION ON OTHERS WHO ARE IN A POSITION TO HELP THEM ESCAPE PROSECUTION.
Backpage co-founders Michael Lacey and James Larkin are scheduled to stand trial Jan. 15, 2020, on federal charges in Arizona.
The indictment alleges Backpage.com started to launder money earned from ad sales a few years ago after banks raised concerns that they were being used for illegal purposes.
The site founders and five employees charged in the federal case in Arizona have pleaded not guilty to charges.
Another employee of the site, CEO Carl Ferrer, has pleaded guilty to a separate federal conspiracy case in Arizona and state money laundering charges in California.
In addition, the company pleaded guilty to human trafficking in Texas and in a federal money laundering conspiracy case in Arizona. Ferrer has agreed to testify against others.
An indictment alleges Backpage.com ignored warnings to stop running advertisements promoting prostitution, sometimes involving children, because the site has brought in $500 million on prostitution-related revenues since its inception in 2004.
Authorities say Backpage.com portrays itself as trying to prevent such ads, but investigators have determined the site’s operators have declined to confront the problem.
According to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, 73 percent of all reports of suspected child sex trafficking have a link to Backpage.
“Instead of working with us to help protect the innocent victims of sex trafficking all across the United States, Backpage has instead fought our efforts at every step of the way while the problem of online sex trafficking gets worse, not better,” Portman said.
Employees are accused of helping customers edit their ads to say within legal limits while still encouraging commercial sex.
In 2010 (yes, it's been ongoing for 10 long years now) Richard Blumenthal and 21 states' attorneys general demanded that Village Voice Media's classified ad site Backpage.com follow Craigslist's example by shutting down its "adult" section. In their published statement they said:
"Adult services sections are little more than online brothels, enabling human trafficking and sexual exploitation of women and children. Because Backpage cannot properly police adult services, the section should be shut down immediately.
Backpage has a moral—if not legal —obligation to purge ads that promote trafficking and sexual abuse of women and children."
BACKPAGE LIVES ON.
In October 2018, a Texas woman sued Backpage and Facebook, claiming she had been sex trafficked on Backpage by a man who lured her into prostitution by posing as her friend on the social media network.
On April 15, 2019, a Wisconsin man was convicted on federal sex trafficking charges over victims who he brought across state lines, forced into prostitution and advertised on Backpage.
On April 29, 2019, a Florida former middle school teacher was sentenced to 10 years in federal prison for buying sex with a 14-year-old girl who was advertised on Backpage.
IN SPITE OF THAT, JUST LOOK AT THE TIMELINE OF THE WISHY-WASHY SUPREME COURT'S STANCE ON THIS!
9/09/16
Supreme Court blocks congressional Backpage subpoena
"In March,2016, the Senate voted 96-0 to hold Backpage in contempt for refusing to comply with a subpoena to appear before a congressional committee. The contempt charge allowed the Senate to pursue Backpage for the requested documents in federal court.
Central to Backpage’s defense is a small section in the Communications Decency Act (CDA), which says online intermediaries that host or republish speech aren’t responsible for what their customers say and do. The company also insists holding it responsible for its customers’ postings would “chill free speech” online. Most state judges have agreed.
Haley Halverson, communications director for the National Center on Sexual Exploitation, does not.
“They’re exploiting a loophole in the law that says that a website does not have to be held accountable for user-generated content on that website.”
BUT 5 DAYS LATER...
9/14/16
The U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday ruled the online classified website Backpage must comply with a Senate subpoena to produce information about how it screens ads for sex trafficking. Without comment, the court voted 7-0 against overturning a lower court decision. Justice Samuel Alito recused himself from the case because his son works as a staff counsel for Sen. Rob Portman, R-Ohio, who chairs the Senate committee that issued the subpoena."
JANUARY 9, 2017, REUTERS
U.S. Supreme Court will not examine tech industry legal shield.
The justices refused to consider reviving a lawsuit against Backpage.com filed by three young women who claimed the website facilitated their forced prostitution through classified advertisements posted in its “escorts” section.
The case is Jane Doe No. 1 et al v. Backpage.com, LLC, et al in the Supreme Court of the United States, No. 16-276.
The high court let stand a lower court’s decision last year to dismiss the lawsuit because the Communications Decency Act, a 1996 law protecting free speech on the internet, shielded Backpage from liability for the content of the ads.
FOUR DAYS LATER, BUSINESS AS USUAL!JAN. 13, 2017

HUMAN TRAFFICKING: Senators look for ways to stop the classified ad site from sex trafficking children.
Backpage.com abruptly closed the adult advertising section of its website in the United States on Monday, one day before executives from the company appeared before a Senate committee to answer allegations they facilitated the sex trafficking of children.
A film about trafficking, I Am Jane Doe, opens in theaters next month and features Backpage as “the Walmart of human trafficking.”
ONE SMALL GLIMMER OF HOPE FOR THE TRAFFICKED CHILDREN
April 12, 2018
"The chief executive of Backpage.com, a website investigators have described as an “online brothel,” pleaded guilty Thursday to California money-laundering charges, while the company itself pleaded guilty to human trafficking in Texas.
In addition to those pleas, federal prosecutors in Arizona announced Thursday Backpage.com and CEO Carl Ferrer had pleaded guilty to conspiracy charges on April 5.
Under the California plea agreement, Ferrer will cooperate in prosecuting Backpage.com’s creators and will serve no more than five years in state prison. He pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy and three counts of money laundering in California.
In the Arizona plea, Ferrer acknowledged knowing that a great majority of Backpage.com’s ads were for sex services. He also admitted to conspiring with others at the company to launder the proceeds from such ads after credit card companies and banks refused to do business with the site."
IN SPITE OF ALL OF THE EVIDENCE AND ADMISSIONS, THE BETS ON THIS ENDING IN PROSECUTION AND JAIL TIME FOR THESE PEOPLE ARE SLIM TO NONE.
THE ONE EXECUTIVE ARRESTED MAY JUST HAVE AN "EPSTEIN MOMENT" AND BE FOUND DEAD IN HIS CELL AS WELL.
WE'LL SEE WHAT HAPPENS THIS MONTH, BUT, HISTORICALLY, NOBODY PAYS BUT THE CHILDREN.
MEANWHILE, BACKPAGE HAS BEEN REPLACED.
APR 05, 2019
"Skip the Games, has been described by local police and prosecutors as a more graphic and “in-your-face” version of Backpage, which authorities say had fueled a surge in prostitution in the area since 2010.
Besides the eight Allentown arrests from Feb. 27 and Wednesday that began as online investigations on Skip the Games, police in Northampton County said an investigation on the website led to a prostitution sting at a Hanover Township hotel that netted eight arrests, including one man charged with promoting prostitution for posting ads.
“Unfortunately, these women and even young girls are being forced into doing this,” Sgt. Michael Enstrom of the Colonial Regional Police Department said."
LOOK AT THE EPSTEIN SCANDAL THAT REACHED OUT AND TOUCHED SO MANY IN THE POLITICAL CIRCUS.
THERE IS NO RESOLUTION FOR EPSTEIN'S VICTIMS, NO ONE ELSE HAS GONE TO JAIL.
HAD HE LIVED, HE MIGHT WELL HAVE REVEALED SOME VERY, VERY BIG NAMES AS BEING PART OF HIS EVIL WEB OF SEXUAL EXPLOITATION OF MINORS.
EPSTEIN'S PURPORTED "BLACK BOOK" SURE HAD SOME WELL-KNOWN NAMES IN IT.
An FBI affidavit details how the list ended up in the hands of investigators and then the media.
Epstein employee Alfredo Rodriguez called the list the “Holy Grail” or “Golden Nugget” that would map out the billionaire’s alleged underage sex network. Rodriguez first tried to sell it to journalists; instead, authorities seized it as evidence.
“Bill Clinton, Donald Trump, Courtney Love, former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak, and uber-lawyer Alan Dershowitz may have been identified by a butler as potential ‘material witnesses’ to pedophile billionaire Jeffrey Epstein’s crimes against young girls.
An annotated copy of the address book, which also contains entries for Alec Baldwin, Ralph Fiennes, Griffin Dunne, New York Post gossip Richard Johnson, Ted Kennedy, David Koch, filmmaker Andrew Jarecki, and all manner of other people you might expect a billionaire to know, turned up in court proceedings after Epstein’s former house manager Alfredo Rodriguez tried to sell it.
It’s possible that the list was simply a phone directory used by the billionaire as he wined and dined his way through the upper echelons of society."
LOOK HOW MANY THE ED BUCK SCANDAL ALSO TOUCHED, AND, WITH ALL HIS CAMPAIGN DONATIONS TO DEMOCRATS, HE GOT AWAY WITH DOING WHAT HE DID FOR YEARS WHILE HIS VICTIMS DIED.
HOW MANY NAMES IN CONGRESS DOES ED BUCK KNOW FROM THEIR ATTENDANCE AT HIS "PARTIES"?
HOW MANY ARE SECRETLY HOPING ED DIES BEFORE HE CAN "NAME NAMES"?
How pedophilia or child sexual abuse can be used as a control mechanism.
There are multiple ways in which elected leaders and appointed politicians, corporate CEOs and foundation presidents, university chancellors and think tank directors, ANYONE, can be controlled by pedophilia.
The most obvious occurs when a lifelong gay politician is lured into a honey trap with a young boy. Once he is caught or filmed in the act, that politician can be easily manipulated for the rest of his career.
Witness the current plight of former Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert who was put into the most powerful position in Congress knowing that he had abused underage boys as a wrestling coach.
Then there is the common situation whereby straight politicians are invited to a social gathering in which underage girls are made available for sexual favors.
There are also those instances when a clean politician is invited to a late night soirée that ends up featuring a snuff film or other repugnant event involving underage children.
Once the camera is rolling, the victim has no way out, except to quit his career in public service or give in to blackmail.
Lastly, there are those leaders and officials who knowingly and willingly participate in all sorts of exceedingly perverted sexual behavior with children. In some situations the children are left with serious injuries; in more serious cases they die.
When organ trafficking is the main purpose, the coveted organs are quickly shipped off to the attending physician of the latest billionaire who desperately needs a liver or kidney, pancreas or lung. They will pay big money to acquire these organs in an expeditious manner.
THE DIFFICULTY OF PROSECUTING THOSE WHO BUY CHILDREN OR USE THEM TO MAKE MONEY.
A 36-year-old Nashville man, Tavarie Williams, was charged with multiple counts of trafficking, kidnapping and rape. He is awaiting trial. But, as in the case of the 15-year-old from Illinois, none of the men who paid to sexually abuse a middle school-age child were ever charged.
A spokeswoman for the Davidson County,Tenn. District Attorney's Office said authorities were unable to identify any of the buyers, who could have faced felony charges.
"That child will have to fight the stigma of what happened to her for the rest of her life," said Alex Trouteaud, director of policy and research with Demand Abolition, a Massachusetts-based organization that works to reduce demand for commercial sex.
"Meanwhile, the buyers will never be held accountable. It's what we call the culture of impunity."
Prosecutors note that they face several obstacles in pursuing charges, including
(1) the need to show that a buyer knew or should have known that the person he paid to exploit was underage.
(2) Victims — traumatized, frightened, frequently dependent on drugs and alcohol — often don't make strong witnesses. [THEY SIMPLY AREN'T BELIEVED.]
(3) Prosecutors also must weigh whether putting a child on the stand, where defense cross examinations can be rough, will further wound the victim.
It’s tempting to put buyers who exploit children in a box — to say that all of them are pedophiles, a small percentage of the population driven by a deep sickness.
But researchers and survivors say that’s not the case.
ECPAT International researchers found that the great majority of men who pay to exploit children are opportunists.[THEY TAKE WHAT THEY'RE OFFERED.]
In a room full of sex buyers, enrolled in a court-ordered program in Seattle, I asked: “Do you ever think about the life stories of the girls and women you purchased?”
The men appeared uncertain about how to answer. Then a former once-a-week buyer, arrested for attempting to purchase sex from a police officer posing as a 15-year-old girl, said, “I don’t want to know how the sausage is made.”
A sausage, a piece of meat. A commodity to be consumed.
Not a child. Not a life."

The 13 victims include eight minors who were sold for commercial sex.
16 sites across California and in Nevada were used as brothels as part of the ring.
"The predators online that are looking for an 11 year old … these people are not the traditional johns that most people think of,” McDonnell said. “These are predators. These are child molesters that are out there taking advantage of some of the most vulnerable in society.”
WHAT WE CAN DO
1- Be aware of the grooming process and find a way to discuss it with children.
Anna C. Salter is a respected psychologist. She is an expert in the field of child sexual maltreatment, and she spells it out:
"The establishment (and eventual betrayal) of affection and trust occupies a central role in the child molester's interactions with children....The grooming process often seems similar from offender to offender, largely because it takes little to discover that emotional seduction is the most effective way to manipulate children."
Grooming is a process. It begins when the predator chooses a target area.
He may visit places where children are likely to go: schools, shopping malls, playgrounds, parks, and the like. He may work or volunteer at businesses that cater to children.
Other predators strike up relationships with adults who have children in the home—single parent families make particularly good targets.
Victim selection and recruitment are next. There is no prototypical victim of child sexual abuse. Any child may be victimized.
Not surprisingly, predators often target children with obvious vulnerabilities. A child who feels unloved and unpopular will soak up adult attention like a sponge.
Children with family problems, who spend time alone and unsupervised, who lack confidence and self–esteem, and who are isolated from their peers are all likely targets.
Predators engage or "recruit" their victims in different ways.
Many use a combination of forced teaming and charm.
They may offer to play games, give rides, or buy treats and gifts as tokens of friendship. They may offer drugs or alcohol to older children or teenagers. And they almost always offer a sympathetic, understanding ear.
"Your parents don't understand or respect you? I do. Other kids make fun of you? I know what that's like—it was the same way for me when I was your age. They don't trust you at home? Boy, I know what that's like—your parents never really want you to grow up. But I trust you. I respect you. I care for you more than anybody else. And I love you. I'm here for you."
Successful predators find and fill voids in a child's life.
A predator will usually introduce secrecy at some point during the grooming process. Initially, secrecy binds the victim to the predator: "Here's some candy. But don't tell your friends because they'll be jealous, and don't tell your mother because she won't like you
eating between meals."
Later on, secrecy joins hands with threats: "If you tell your mother what happened, she'll hate you. It'll kill her. Or I'll kill her. Or I'll kill you."
The forging of an emotional bond through grooming leads to physical contact.
Predators use the grooming process to break down a child's defenses and increase the child's acceptance of touch.
The first physical contact between predator and victim is often nonsexual touching designed to identify limits: an "accidental" touch, an arm around the shoulder, a brushing of hair.
Nonsexual touching desensitizes the child. It breaks down inhibitions and leads to more overt sexual touching—the predator's ultimate goal.
The best way to recognize grooming behavior is to pay attention to your child and the people in your child's life.
Gavin de Becker sensibly reminds us that "[c]hildren require the protection of adults, usually from adults. Their fear of people is not yet developed, their intuition not yet loaded with enough information and experience to keep them from harm."
There are many demands placed upon our time, but nothing—nothing—is more important than the welfare of our children.
When we blindly surrender responsibility for them to others without question, we invite trouble.
Parents should know their child's teachers, coaches, day care providers, youth group leaders, and other significant adults in their lives. Make unannounced visits. Ask questions. Stay involved.
And please—talk to your children.
Teach them to recognize grooming behavior. Teach them to be wary of any physical contact initiated by an adult. And teach them to trust you with their problems and their pain.
The safest child is the child who knows he can bring his problems and concerns to parents and adult caregivers without reproach or retaliation.
2-Make sure that your child knows he/she is loved, valued, needed in the family.
And remember this; a child knows that's true when your actions match your words.
I don't care how busy your life is, if you don't make 'special time' for just your child, your words won't carry much weight.
And if you give your time grudgingly, that child will recognize the dishonesty.
3-Listen very carefully when your child talks to you. You may miss subtle clues that something is wrong if you fail to listen carefully.
It's a good idea to have and maintain "code words" that a child can use to let you know something is wrong, or that they feel uncomfortable or threatened by someone.
One family I knew taught their children to say, "I need a lemonade."
Every family needs to devise code words used by those who may need to pick a child up at school, take a child to an appointment, or enter the home when you're not there, etc.
Be creative in formulating these, nothing ordinary.
We can read or watch news articles wherein a child was abducted by a stranger who offered a ride or plucked a child from a park, a mall, a sporting event, etc, merely by approaching the child and saying a parent sent them because something has happened that prevents the parent from being there (accident, illness, family emergency, for example).
Other children have been abducted or nearly abducted by strangers who approach them and ask them to help find a dog, cat, another child, or who feign illness and ask them to help them get to their vehicle or get inside their home.
Keep in mind that child molesters, those who would victimize a child are often people whom the child knows.

MONEY DRIVES PEOPLE TO DO HORRIFIC THINGS, BUT AN APPETITE FOR SEXUALLY ABUSING CHILDREN DRIVES MANY TO ACTS SO HEINOUS THAT THE HUMAN MIND DOESN'T WANT TO FACE THE FACTS OF IT.
MONEY WILL BUY MANSIONS, ALMOST ANYTHING THE HEART DESIRES, BUT AFTER A TIME, THE APPETITE OF SOME SEEKS MORE OF SOME 'SOMETHING' THAT SEEMS MISSING.
SOME TURN TO ILLICIT DRUGS.
BUT TOO MANY ARE DRIVEN TO THE PERVERSE, TO SEEK OUT CHILDREN AS PREY.
IN THE END, MONEY, DRUGS AND DEVIANT SEX ACTS ARE ALL LINKED.
ALL WE CAN DO IS PROTECT OUR CHILDREN AS WE NEVER HAVE BEFORE, BE WATCHFUL WITHOUT 'SMOTHERING' THEM, STAY ALERT TO THE SIGNS THAT DANGER IS NEAR.

Officer leading Operation Hydrant inquiry says out of 1,433 alleged offenders 76 were politicians, 43 were from music industry and 135 were from TV, film or radio.
Hundreds of institutions have been identified by victims of non-recent abuse as places where their abuse took place.
These include 154 schools, 75 children’s homes, 40 religious institutions, 14 medical establishments, 11 community groups, nine prisons or young offender institutions, nine sports venues and 28 other places including military establishments.
Bailey warned that the number of victims could run into the hundreds of thousands, and called for much more support for survivors of child abuse.
He said he believed that the enormous increase in reports of all types of child sexual abuse – which have risen by 71% since 2012 to 116,000 reports this year – was not just down to more victims coming forward.
Instead, Bailey warned that the internet was creating the opportunity for more abuse to take place, and said live-streaming of child abuse on mobile phones was the next challenge facing law enforcers."

The Ghost of Roy Cohn
AUGUST 24, 2014
EXCERPT...The Franklin Cover-up by former senator and Vietnam combat veteran John W. DeCamp. *** More on the Bush White House child sex scandal.
"In an interview with former NYPD detective James Rothstein, this author discovered that such operations do exist and go far back into America’s secret history. Rothstein is no conspiracy theorist. He is a legend in American law enforcement and speaks from experience. Furthermore, he gave me two notable examples from his time as a detective.
Rothstein had an opportunity to have a sit-down with infamous McCarthy committee counsel Roy Cohn. During this sit-down, Cohn admitted to Rothstein that he was part of a rather elaborate sexual blackmail operation that compromised politicians with child prostitutes (Rothstein, no pagination). Cohn told Rothstein that this operation was being carried out as part of the anticommunist crusade of the time (no pagination).
Rothstein also had an opportunity to speak to infamous Watergate burglar Frank Sturgis. During this conversation, Sturgis revealed one of the reasons for breaking into the Watergate. According to Sturgis, there was a “Pedophile Book” hidden away at the Democratic National Committee headquarters (no pagination). The book was supposed to have a list of pedophiles on the American political scene (no pagination). One can only imagine the power G. Gordon Liddy would have held over the government if he had such a book in his possession.
I asked Rothstein if Roy Cohn was a real anticommunist or just using the fear of communism to justify his sex ring. It seemed like a fair question. After all, Cohn had argued against homosexuals being schoolteachers when he himself was a homosexual. Perhaps Cohn’s hypocrisy extended to his anticommunism.
Rothstein made it clear that Cohn was a genuine anticommunist (no pagination). Anticommunist sentiments aside, evidence suggests that the sex ring operation started by Cohn was used for more than fighting the threat of domestic communists.
Fugitive ex-CIA officer Frank Terpil has claimed that sexual blackmailing operations directed by the CIA were intensive in Washington during the Watergate era (DeCamp,179). Terpil also asserts that his former partner, Ed Wilson, was coordinating one of these sexual blackmail operations (179). In a letter to author Jim Hougan, Terpil revealed Wilson’s modus operandi:
“Historically, one of Wilson’s Agency jobs was to subvert members of both houses [of Congress] by any means necessary…. Certain people could be easily coerced by living out their sexual fantasies in the flesh…. A remembrance of these occasions [was] permanently recorded via selected cameras…. The technicians in charge of filming… were TSD [Technical Services Division of the CIA]. The unwitting porno stars advanced in their political careers, some of [whom] may still be in office.” (Quoted in DeCamp,179)
Wilson’s operation was merely a continuation of the one set up by Cohn (179). When I asked James Rothstein if the D.C. Madam, Deborah Jeane Palfrey’s outfit was a continuation of the sexual blackmail rings that began with Cohn, he answered in the affirmative (Rothstein, pagination). The NYPD veteran made it clear that Palfrey’s outfit could not exist in Washington unless it was a tool for the power elite and sinister factions of the intelligence community (no pagination). Somewhere in a Queens cemetery, the corpse of a high-powered attorney is smiling in his grave."
[Note: Ms. Palfrey became notorious during the Bush/Cheney regime and was soon discovered dead at her home, the death was ruled a suicide, but before she died, she had exposed several "big names" in Washington as clients.]
[**SPECIAL NOTE: Hookergate expanded: Dick Cheney got involved, fired U.S. Attorney Thomas DiBiagio, who charged he was fired because of pressure from DEPT. OF JUSTICE, and Maryland GOP Governor Bob Ehrlich, whose staff was linked to a prostitution ring. Ehrlich complained to then-Deputy Attorney General James Comey about the aggressiveness of DiBiagio.
DiBiagio told the New York Times that the pressure from Ehrlich's office and the Justice Department served "to intimidate my office and shut down the investigations."
Maryland Democratic Senator Ben Cardin asked for an investigation of DiBiagio's firing.
DiBiagio had already witnessed the brutal murder of his Assistant US Attorney Jonathan Luna in December 2003. A husband and father of two, Luna had departed in his vehicle, strangely leaving his cell phone on his desk at his office, and drove a circuitous route through Delaware, New Jersey, and then Pennsylvania before he was found in a creek near the Pennsylvania Turnpike in Denver, PA, stabbed to death by 36 wounds.Federal authorities leaned toward ruling his death a SUICIDE, but local investigators treated the death as a homicide.
Maryland State Police Superintendent Ed Norris for using his Executive Protective Unit (EPU), the unit that protects the Governor of Maryland and other state VIPs, to transport prostitutes to various locations.
U.S. District Judge for the District of Columbia Gladys Kessler, a Clinton appointee, re-issued an order prohibiting DC Madam Deborah Jeane Palfrey from releasing any more phone lists of her Pamela Martin & Associates customers.
Secrecy of the phone records has been a priority for DC Assistant U.S. Attorney William Cowden.
IRS agent Troy Burrus in Baltimore made a criminal referral to the U.S. Attorney's office in Baltimore.
The murder of Luna and the firing of DiBiagio eliminated the threat that the well-heeled customers of the DC/Baltimore prostitution ring, many of them GOP stalwarts, would be exposed prior to the December 2004 presidential election.]
WATERGATE AND PEDOPHILES IN D.C.
The Watergate break-in was strictly based on one thing – the pedophile records that were being kept at the Democratic National Headquarters.
– Det. James Rothstein, NYPD
“The mainstream media has long documented the CIA’s involvement in drugs and weapons trafficking, right?
Well then, is it so hard to imagine they are also involved in trafficking children – which is far more lucrative than guns and drugs? ASIO and the CIA work together to traffic children between Australia and America. They’re the ones who trafficked me.”
The Pedogate ring, detective Rothstein has explained, is the same network he investigated for 35 years.
Rothstein observed that the perpetrators were doing everything in their power to shut the Pedogate story down.
He predicted the perpetrators would successfully bury it, like every other time their network was almost exposed.
Back in 1966, Rothstein became the first police detective assigned to investigate the prostitution industry.
He soon discovered the underground sexual blackmail operation that compromised politicians with child prostitutes. ‘Human Compromise’ is the term he uses for this honey-trap process.
Rothstein and his colleagues found that up to 70 percent of top US government leaders had been compromised. The CIA conducted the human compromise operation, while the FBI’s task was to cover it up.
James Rothstein was alerted to an identical VIP pedophile ring operating in the UK, when British Intelligence consulted him regarding the Profumo Affair.
MI6 agents visited Rothstein in New York to extract what he knew about British politicians and other VIPs having sex with child prostitutes. This was part of their effort to cover up the true pedophile nature of the Profumo sex scandal.
Rothstein found the international pedophile rings are connected, and that their members meet at various world locations where each destination catered for a different type of degenerate sexual proclivity, including satanic themed abuse.
Rothstein and his colleagues encountered fierce resistance to the investigation and prosecution of members of the child trafficking operation. His investigative journalist contacts at the New York Times and Washington Post could not get stories about the VIP pedophile ring printed. All police, FBI, customs and IRS officers who pursued the VIP pedophile network above street level had their careers subsequently destroyed.
Rothstein’s attempts to arrest key perpetrators were continually thwarted.
The choice example is when he served the head of the CIA’s human compromise operation, Tippy Richardson.
According to pedophile-turned-police-informant Ben Rose, in November 1971, Tippy Richardson, businessman Leonard Stewart (from OPEC, Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries) and a surgeon named Dr. Chesky, raped and murdered three boys aged 14 to 15 years in Rose’s apartment on East 64th Street in New York City.
The New York State Select Committee on Crime subsequently served subpoenas on both Tippy Richardson and Leonard Stewart. When served, Richardson said that because he worked for the CIA, the subpoena would be withdrawn under the National Security Act by the time Rothstein and his colleague returned to their offices. It was.
In 1972, Rothstein arrested one of the five Watergate burglars, CIA operative Frank Sturgis. During a subsequent two-hour interrogation, he discovered the truth about Watergate. The burglars sought something they nicknamed “The Book” which listed the Democrat and Republican politicians who accessed child prostitutes, their sexual proclivities, the amounts they paid to rape kids, and such.
The official Watergate explanation is that the Republicans broke into Democratic National Committee Headquarters to obtain information about their election strategies. People who lived through Watergate typically comment with a frown, “that never made sense.”
Rothstein’s experiences make better sense of why Nixon conspired to quash the Watergate investigation, why he suggested the investigation posed a threat to national security, why his personal secretary destroyed Oval Office tape recordings after they were subpoenaed, and why his own Vice President issued a pardon which protected him from prosecution for any crimes he had “committed or may have committed or taken part in” as president.
If Nixon’s crimes included pedophilia, that would make perfect sense.
Another voice to surface in the wake of the Pedogate scandal was Dutch banker Ronald Bernard. Bernard shed further light on the people and system behind the international child trafficking network during a series of interviews with an Irma Schiffers. Bernard said he worked in international finance and high-end money laundering for 12 years. There he discovered that political power does not reside with publicly elected representatives, but with the world’s 8,000 to 8,500 wealthiest individuals who exercise power behind the scenes and who routinely manipulate the media. These people, he explained, sit at the top of a power structure that resembles a pyramid. Directly beneath them sits the Bank for International Settlements (BIS). Below the BIS sit the IMF (International Monetary Fund) and the World Bank. Below them sit the Central Banks, which are illegally created private banks which oversee the commercial banking system of their respective countries. Below these sit the multinational companies. Finally, below these sit the countries’ governments.
Bernard said the wealthiest 8,000 to 8,500 people created the BIS in 1930. Since the world’s richest individuals are too young to have helped establish the BIS 88 years ago, he must be referring to banking dynasties like the Rothschilds. In a Chapter titled, ‘Banking and the World’s Biggest Business,’ the book Dope, Inc.: Britain’s Opium War Against the U.S. (Kalimtgis, Goldman & Stienberg, 1978) lists the Rothschilds as one of the nine family dynasties responsible for the modern drug industry which, they assert, “is run as a single integrated world operation, from the opium poppy to the nickel bag of heroin sold on an inner-city corner.”
The current global drug trade was established by the British Crown during the Opium Wars, when P&O steam lines were founded to transport the drugs, the HSBC bank was established to launder the proceeds, and the ‘court Jews’ (Rothschilds) were employed to financially manage the operation. Apparently, little has changed, and the same operation has simply been expanded.
There must have been some truth to the content of Dope Inc. because its revelations resulted in the HSBC bank losing its license to operate in the USA. The book also inspired law enforcement officials to swap their assumption that drug trafficking consisted of pockets of independent criminal activity, for the fact it is a global network coordinated by the CIA, with proceeds laundered through banks and funneled into the CIA’s covert, terrorist operations.
This is the very system Ronald Bernard described.
Like the drug trade, the child sex trafficking industry is run by the very same people as a single integrated world operation. At the top of this sit the wealthy elite who maintain control by ensuring only blackmailed, compromised politicians, military brass, and government officials occupy leadership.
The secret services, including ASIO, the CIA and British Intelligence, coordinate the child trafficking and human compromise operation, receive the victims procured via the little men, train these into suitable assets, and transport the victims nationally and internationally to service VIP pedophiles.
On 5 April 2018, the newly appointed head of AUSTRC (Australian Transaction Reports and Analysis Centre) told ABC news:
"I thought coming from the Australian Criminal Intelligence Commission that I had a pretty good handle on serious and organised crime side. I didn’t appreciate the depth and breadth of involvement with private entities and banks. I didn’t appreciate how many industries it does actually touch.
There’s a misperception that money laundering is a victimless white-collar crime that’s probably just looking at tax avoidance – and it’s not. It’s criminal entities using financial institutions here and nationally to move criminal funds around our country and our financial system overseas and it has a massive impact on everyday life; whether that’s child exploitation, serious and organised crime, drug importation – it all involves money laundering.
Australia’s Commonwealth Bank was subsequently fined 700 million dollars for near 54,000 breaches of anti-money laundering and anti-terrorism financing laws, including the laundering of proceeds from child sex trafficking, and the channeling of funds into overseas terrorist organisations. So, my very own bank, which wooed my kiddie custom with a green tin money box painted to resemble a building, simultaneously facilitated my child abuse".
