As you can see by reading  the above link , there are many dynamics and factors  involved  in child sexual abuse .
Though they may be somewhat universal  in some areas ( depression , substance abuse , problematic relationships across the board this does not mean  that  every person affected will experience the same things and many  will have different levels of being  affected by the abuse 


The subject  of child sexual abuse  or child molestation is not a subject that many in our society are very comfortable in talking about . Some of this may be due to the cultural  factors  that someone comes out of  .For example : In a certain belief system ,often seen in middle eastern cultures, sexual activity of any kind may shame the woman's family .Even the slightest  inference of any 'sexual inappropriateness' ( eg a  rape or  hinted pregnancy ) the family may use violence, threats, and even death  to stop the name of the family from any shame the women is perceived to have caused.
Statistics are alarming..One out of every four women are sexually abused as children and one out six men are .
 Even if the perpetrator is deceased it may not be easy  for the person who was violated to try and get some help 
because they may feel like the event(s) that happened are still unsolvable, and flashbacks and resentment  may still be there
In the  next  writing we will explore  some actual  tips , stories and  links to help you , someone that  you  kno0w or love to not have to  stay  victimized and eventually heal at their own pace .

For now  here is a short  tip page on how  to keep  your children safe .

awareness,sexual abuse and more talk about sex

When there is a  problem people  need to first  recognize it , identify it  and eventually work to find  solution(s) to  it .

We see at Exodus cry our  website is here  the  foundation of prayer a commitment to abolishing sex slavery through Christ-centered prevention, intervention, and holistic restoration for trafficking victims are the  keys .Here is  our trailer  that has won over 11 national and international awards

Christians  may want to look at our   video here   as  to why modern day slavery is real and the topic  simply can not be avoided .

 ~~ Even if you  consider  yourself  to have no religious  affiliation  or belief please do not stop reading ~ ~~ This  blog is not   to set  judgement  on you  .It is to  provide  you  with good options, support and  information ....

The facts  are chilling  : 1 out of  3  girls  will experience  some sort of  sexual abuse  in her lifetime .  For  boys  1 out of 6  will  experience it .
Men  can find help with us confidentially  or  you can go here . This is a  highly recommended website  that helps men  on their  first  steps  to  resolving the trauma  of sexual abuse

Sexual abuse  is not a topic  that many people are publicly  willing to discuss and there are many reasons  for this .
For many people there is the stimgma of  wondering or fearing what others will think of them .  'It was my  fault ' . '' I  should not have  been where I was  or  doing what I was doing  and therefore  it  was my fault ''.
Children  can never  consent to  sex and therefore  sexual abuse is  a  crime and should always be reported .

In fact , at any age,  no one should be trapped  or stay  in this mode  of self blame ; it  never  gets  the gut level emotions resolved .
The rational mind  will  hopefully speak to you   and say '' It was never  my fault and I did  not do anything to bring   the event(s)  that happened to me upon myself ''...Eventually --  you will get to the  point where  you  can go on , get your grief  out  and truly  live again .It is  possible .
(This author  knows it is )

When a woman , man , girl or boy  is raped  it is a  crime of  power, humiliation , manipulation and it is a violent expression of anger  on the part  of  the  perpetrator . It  does not matter  what the person  was doing , what they looked like or the  place where it happened . It is a  crime and should always be looked at  it  as such ! Women  up to the ages  of  82  have been  raped  and men are  also  raped . No one 'asks  for it '....


A problem  that is very common  is the  acceptance  and  willingness  for people to  look at pornography  . The statistics are  available and the proof is this : The longer  someone looks at porn  the  more violent they  have  the propensity  to come , to commit crimes , ruin their  careers , relationships  and family .
Pornography , people might argue  is not  ''that  bad '' as long as it does not affect my life .  The facts  are that  porn is not an enhancement  to  a marriage and it also has stats  that  it causes  a  woman  or man to be unable  to graft  a long lasting  and meaningful  relationship . It degrades  women  to body parts  and sends a  silent message  they are not  wanted for good characteristics  such a  kind  heart or  intelligent . Pornography is  fantasy  and many turn into violent  fantasies that  eventually harm and or or get  people murdered . Porn is a huge problem in the military  and  the facts remain  that this also  simply can not go unaddressed . Even on Stars and Stripes   there  are  'articles ' where  an adviser  gives men  'tips  '  to make their marriage  better by using types or porn  (I wonder  how the wives really   about that ) and various  things ...
You  can find the facts and get  help here 

People might laugh  and joke  at what Hugh  Grant  did when  he was caught  and arrested  for soliciting  a prostitute  in  Los  Angeles . But  you must  remember  that  that put a mark on his career  and the woman he picked up  was  a very addicted  drug addict and prostitution is never a  victimless crime . I have often wondered  how  Divine Brown is  doing today ......
Jerry  Sandusky  used pornography to  groom his victims as well as Luis Skip Reeville  did .
A pretty case  was Ted  Bundy .Another  was  Danny Rolling , and yet another  was  Arlene Warnos who was eventually  sentenced  to death  for murdering  johns  that she and her partner  picked up  while she worked as a prostitute .

I once  saw a post  on a friends  Facebook  page ( that  advocated a  former presidential  nominee and his wanting  to legalize  prostitution as part of his platform ) where he typed : ''I  can't see it  being so  wrong  if a man wants to  get a blow  job '.. I don't   think his  wife  would have seen it quite that  way  I remember thinking .

People  will  somethings forget  the  things that  you did  to them , but many will never  forget the way that  you  helped  them feel about themselves .The words  that you use  weather  good ,  kind , reckless or   genuine  ...do matter .

If you  ever  need help  and  or  simply need someone  to listen  you may email me  and I will get back to you . I do not  do male counselling  but I do and have spoken  with ladies  .

Thanks  for reading

Such crimes are a major concern for China, which has become Africa's main trading partner and a major source of infrastructure investment.

Shut Down Of Child Trafficking Website

Mayor R.T. Rybak has been aware of the criminal nature of Backpage.com since his days in journalism.
“When I published the Twin Cities Reader in the 1990s, we turned down ads from Backpage.com because we refused to participate in the trafficking of women and children. It cost us a lot of money, but it was the right thing to do,” said Rybak. “Times have changed. Now, ending sex trafficking is a national priority, and Minneapolis Police and city attorneys are doing incredible work to fight it right here. I’m pleased that today, the Minneapolis City Council joined the fight by calling on Village Voice Media to shut down the adult section of BackPage.com.”
Several religious organizations, law enforcement officials and advocacy groups and have called for the shutdown of Backpage.com. The National Association of Attorneys General has also filed charges against a person who trafficked or attempted to traffic minors using Backpage.com in more than 50 instances in 22 states over three years. read the rest here this is great news

Maine insurance agent charged with promoting prostitution

"To be perfectly honest, I am shocked at the allegations," said a neighbor, state Sen. Christopher W. Rector, who has known Strong's family for years. "It's sad if the allegations are true."
Rector's children were friends with Strong's children. Rector said Strong has ties to the community and still lives in the house where he was raised.
Lee-Ann Upham, chairwoman of the Thomaston Board of Selectmen, said Strong served on the board for about five years in the 1990s.
Upham said Strong once did a sports talk show on local cable television. He also works as a baseball umpire, said Upham.
"I'm very surprised, as I'm sure everyone in town would be," she said of the charge. "He is the insurance agent for a lot of people in town."
Upham said she was puzzled by the alleged connection to Kennebunk.
"I just can't fathom where this is going," she said.





Officials pin sex busts on Backpage

Backpage.com — where the online sex trade fled after the Craigslist crackdown — is now in the cross hairs of law enforcement in Boston and beyond as authorities say the Arizona-based site has raked in as much as $30 million from flesh-peddling ads, including dozens that have led to child prostitution and sex trafficking busts.
“Enough is enough,” said Suffolk District Attorney Daniel F. Conley. “As Craigslist recognized some time ago, sites of this nature are assisting in the scourge of human trafficking and child exploitation. I’d urge them as strongly as I urged Craigslist to take down those ads

Murdered Marine's wife Brittany Killgore sex ring killing,San Diego

Lopez said she made "a few attempts to chop her up" with Perez's power tools and doused the body with bleach to get rid of evidence before dumping Killgore near Lake Skinner.
The documents give no indication that Killgore knew about the sex ring and prosecutors have described her as an innocent victim. Detectives said she accepted Perez's invitation to a San Diego dinner cruise after Perez helped her move that afternoon. The warrants do not say how Killgore met the suspects.

very sick letter killer wrote  Detectives found the letter in a San Diego hotel where Lopez was discovered with self-inflicted cuts four days after Killgore disappeared.

Sickening  and unfathomable to murder  someone to keep them possibly meeting with a pornography  ring leader
