Becki Percy, child sex trafficking survivor and activist, has just posted a video in which she asks other survivors of child sex trafficking to consider lending their voices to an independent documentary on the matter, with an emphasis on the victims themselves.
The documentary, titled The Voices of Butterflies, is being made by Kenneth Dawson and his wife(?), Felicia, with an active participation by Becki herself. A teaser can be seen here, and anyone interested in supporting the project may also do so through their GoFundMe campaign.
But most importantly:
An appeal from Becki herself
If you are a survivor of child sex trafficking or satanic ritual abuse, please get in touch with myself, Kenneth or Felicia. [...]
Please just talk out on behalf of the children. If you don't want to do it for yourself, do it for the children. Do it for the four-year-old that is so scared and so frightened that, even at that young age, she doesn't want to live anymore. At four years old – she shouldn't have to feel like that.
Or the little boy that is so ashamed of what is going on, he feels like he can't tell anyone because he's a male, and he feels like he'll be mocked because he's a male.

Contact Kenneth and Felicia via:
They're counting on your strength.

Please dont fall for this Sham. http://www.seattlepi.com/local/article/Banker-sentenced-for-embezzling-1176843.php This is Ken Dawson
wecanhelp ago
Can you confirm that this is the same Ken Dawson?
TheVobProject ago
No, they can't cause It's not the same person.
wecanhelp ago
That was my though as well. If you're the real Ken, welcome to the Voat community, and thank you for doing what you do.
TheVobProject ago
YES, this is the real Ken lol. Thank you so much for the welcome, and it is an honor to be able to do this project!

If I may recommend something, in order to clear doubts about your identity for the future: would you mind verifying yourself sometime? Stating on your official Twitter or GoFundMe that you're the user TheVobProject on Voat would totally suffice, and if you then backlink to that statement from your Voat profile bio (that you can set here), people will immediately see that you're the real Ken. This is not compulsory at all, but is useful to do to avoid suspicion and misunderstandings. Once you do that, I recommend you actually submit a well-sourced post about your project to get the word out in the community. If you decide to do that, feel free to reach out to me and I will help you make sure it complies with our submission rules (I'm a moderator on here).

Thank you very much for reaching out and for the advice. I'm a newb on here, so I'm still trying to figure out the lay of the land and how VOAT works. I will look into everything you suggested and try to get that done asap. Thanks again, really appreciate that.
wecanhelp ago
Sure thing. Whenever you have any questions, feel free to drop me a line. Since you can't send private messages until you reach 100 Comment Contribution Points, or CCP (that you receive for the upvotes on your comments), to make sure I get notified just comment somewhere and mention me with the @ sign before my name, like this: @wecanhelp.

I really appreciate the help, surely gonna need it. Not quite the Twitter/Facebook "ergonomics" that I'm used to. I'm trying to replicate the submission that you made for our project with Becki, with the links and separate appeal section etc... I'm assuming there isn't necessarily a way to "share" a submission or whatever the correct verbiage would be on VOAT. I somewhat have an idea, but not really getting what I want. Any help would be MUCH appreciated!

If you click source below the submission, you will get the raw code of my post. But if you're thinking about resubmitting the same, with only minor differences, then don't do that as the community here frowns on duplicate posts. If you just need some of the formatting, but otherwise the content will be different, then just grab the source, and play with it. Here's some help for understanding the formatting code, if you don't want to mess with the editor. Since my submission was focusing on Becki and her appeal to survivors themselves, it would make sense that yours focuses on the project, and appeals to the audience and donors instead, and people will be able to ask you anything in the comment section about the project. Once you have a draft, if you like I can check it for you, just post it here as a comment reply, the same formattings apply in comments as well. You can always delete your own comment later.

That's helps a lot, thanks! I was looking at the source information yesterday, but wasn't sure if that's what I was needing to mess around with. Really appreciate the heads up on the resubmissions. As I mentioned, I'm still trying to learn the lay of the land, so that is good to know. I'm going to play around with the raw code and see what I can come up with. As always, really appreciate the help.
wecanhelp ago
You're very welcome, glad to help.
TheVobProject ago
Just sent over a draft for your opinion. Also, I know that you mentioned that it is frowned upon to submit duplicate post. Does that mean even your own? For instance if I wanted to submit this in another subverse.
wecanhelp ago
From a submission requirements point of view, I see absolutely nothing wrong with the post. I have two notes, but as a reader and community member, not as a moderator:
Just my two cents. But as I said, from a strictly technical point of view, your post already complies with the submission rules, so feel free to submit it when you feel like it.
No, that's acceptable if it's justified and doesn't come across as adspam. I meant duplicates within the same subverse, which we also remove as moderators.
I also have a question (two actually): is your wife called Felecia, or is that a typo? Becki spells it as Felicia, so that's what I copied. And also, is it correct to call her your wife? Both questions are just so that I can edit my post for accuracy if I need to.
TheVobProject ago
Thanks for mentioning the suggestions to the first two sentences. Funny thing is that I noticed that as I was writing, but guess I got so caught up in the "coding" that I lost track of that.
Lol, yes it's Felecia. We aren't married "officially" just yet, but close enough. So calling her my wife is just fine.
BIG thank you again!
wecanhelp ago
Thank you, I corrected my post with the proper spelling of her name. And, again, you're very welcome.
TheVobProject ago
Your thoughts on the revision?
wecanhelp ago
So much better. I suggest you pick a busy EST-early-evening hour, and submit it.
TheVobProject ago
Awesome, I will do that. I know I've said thank you a gazillion times already, but it's a habit lol.
Thank you for all of your help!
wecanhelp ago
No problem at all, I hope this gets you a few supporters.
TheVobProject ago
So do I.

Hey everyone in the VOAT community. I'm Kenneth Dawson, the founder of The Voices of Butterflies Project which advocates against child sex trafficking. I'm the father of two young daughters, which are my inspiration for advocacy, but it was GOD who planted the seed in my heart for this project.
I am joining together with Executive Producer Becki Percy, a satanic ritual abuse, and child sex trafficking survivor to produce a documentary that takes viewers beyond the statistics of child sex trafficking, to highlight the issues that influence them. The supply and demand, corrupt law enforcement, the failure of government and state agencies that are supposed to protect victims, and limited recovery assistance for survivors to name a few.
The desire for us to do this project is not enough. WE NEED YOUR HELP!
