Thanks for the heads up. A similar theme is contained in the movie "Taken" starring Liam Neeson as a retired CIA agent using his deadly skills to recover his daughter and her friend who were kidnapped for the sex trade.

Those films might educate the public of this scourge better than we can. But what if it gives bad guys ideas? Of course it might encourage vigilante action, too. I wish I had never heard of this stuff. I grew up in a Leave it to Beaver environment in the 1950s and it is so sad that children may never experience that kind of innocent wholesome upbringing again.

Folks, I've been recovering from surgeries that gave me the luxury of making lots of comments here lately but I'm going to take my leave and get back to my normal routine for awhile. Love to all.

Knowledge of such evil is a real burden. I wish you well in resuming your routine. What's most effective in thwarting the traffickers' agenda is building strong community ties and readily embracing whatever responsibilities you are entrusted with in your own role as protector. The Serenity Prayer is very valuable in mentally processing evil of this magnitude, but be sure to seriously reflect on the list of things you "can change" and be diligent in addressing them.

Allowing yourself to be numbed by a media and entertainment that atomizes us and isolates us makes it that much easier for them to act in the shadows.

Will say a prayer for your continued recovery!
