I hope no one will suspect me of fear mongering parents into seeing that Child Sex Trafficking is real. That is not my point in sharing the action I outline below and in sharing this story that @TheHoneyBee_ just tweeted out:
Mom Shares Terrifying Story of Encounter With Possible Human Traffickers at IKEA
http://www.goodhousekeeping.com/life/parenting/news/a43466/mom-kids-followed-in-ikea/?ref=yfp
I feel this and similar true stories from parents who dodged the worst imaginable bullet (or didn't) can be very powerful weapons in educating the public that Elite Pedo Preditors ARE REAL. I am hoping we can all use this story to reach out to one of the most important audiences for actually saving children: PARENTS. Here's why I think the above story is powerful:
- It was published by Good Housekeeping which has credibility whether deserved or not.
- It makes Pizzagate real without mentioning the word.
- It presents guidelines on how to determine whether a stranger in a department store is shopping or stalking.
- It offers excellent advice such as remain aware and present at all times (keep your phone turned off or do not use it unless you are with another adult). If you suspect someone it suggests you:
- Look around to see if there are others alone and similarly dressed. Snatchers work in teams, very often including a woman.
- If you suspect someone, note if s/he stops moving every time you do
- Note if he (they) remain near an exit.
- Take a picture of them
I have been thinking it would be good to:
1) Develop 'public service' memes aimed at parents in public alone especially moms with multiple young kids in tow.
2) Start a campaign to broadcast those memes via social media in which we:
3) Include a link to the IKEA mom's story along with an image meme.
The purpose is to save kids by waking up parents, to spread awareness of Pizzagate by bringing it close to home. It might make parents overly cautious but honestly I think they should be!
TIPS: To get around censorship I recommend using pro-Hillary, anti-Trump and SJW hashtags because a) Twitter always lets those through b) Does not suppress them if they trend, c) Those hashtags are lfollowed by women and d) those are precisely the people who are not getting the message. Only include #Pizzagate" and "#Pedogate" as part of a meme (that is, as part of an image - sample below). Then send it out again, or re-tweet it with #Pizzagate" and "#Pedogate" as actual text.
Here is a sample meme to use: https://imgoat.com/uploads/3d9446802a/9383.jpg
Any other parental advice you can think of based on what we've discovered on how child sex rings work? Post them here and I will create memes and share.

Also, people in my neighborhood really seem to think it is ok to let their children play outside alone in the front yard. We had an attempted abduction here not too long ago and the cops did not do shit about it. We have 5 convicted child rapists living 3 miles away from our neighborhood. Don't let your kids go outside unsupervised is my advice. And yes these pedos often drive shitty cars, vans without windows, run down cars, because that is all they can afford. If you see a run down vehicle stalking your homes in your neighborhood call the cops. Don't send your daughter outside in a bikini to ride her bike. If you see a child alone who appears super young find their parents and make sure they are being supervised.

This makes me so sad, I grew up in an area where you could let your kids run around by themselves and we were safe and knew everyone who lived around us.
I had an experience ONCE in 15 years of playing outside, but because my parents had stressed to me the importance of 'stranger danger' I was okay and knew what was happening immediately. It was the most cliché thing ever: a couple come riding up to our group of kids asking us for help to find their lost puppy. It was almost laughable how stupid an attempt it was, hell, even the 5yos hanging out with us big kids called bullshit on them. We told them "There are a couple of cops who live in next to us that can help you put up posters if you like" (I was trying to give them the benefit of the doubt, maybe they HAD lost a puppy" As soon as I said cop they bolted and we told the cop who lived next to us what happened and the plate numbers. He told our parents later that night that the car was stolen and us kids were praised with how well we handled everything.
Parents! It is never to early or to late to teach your kids how to not become a victim. Our parents would sit down with us and watch TV programs that would deal with these themes, then have a discussion with us during/after. Many times I have taken a step back from a situation and realized I was about to put myself at risk because of something we had watched on America's Most wanted, and yes, even 'To catch a predator'.
Proper communication and explanations for how you feel and lay out rules are important, kids do not respond well to "because I told you so/because I know better than you" It will hurt your efforts and make you seem paranoid, they will dismiss it without proper training

This makes me sad as well. I grew up on an AFB and would run around with friends the entire day playing basketball and stuff without ever having a single negative incident. You guys are doing a great job taking preventative measures and I'm happy I'll be able to protect my kids once that day comes
