Wichita is in the top 5 cities of origin for trafficked children. There is a grassroots group that has formed here recently to support the wonderful services we already have here (ictsos.org). Awareness is key. Have people put the National Trafficking Hotline number in their cell phone so they can report it if they think they might see a trafficking situation (888-373-7888). Prayer is a given. Vital: pour your love into at risk children and youth before they become tomorrow's runaways, victims and pimps!<br /><br />Thanks for sharing!Lisa @ Life is Crazy Beautifulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15035178264541776275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1105171804337429232.post-31144257327684888342011-10-22T08:41:43.849-07:002011-10-22T08:41:43.849-07:00Elizabeth...are you aware that Portland is a "...Elizabeth...are you aware that Portland is a "hub" for sex trafficking? Our future daughter-in-law is a child therapist with Lifeworks NW; she began there more than a year ago. It wasn't long before they realized that they needed to form a "division" for the sexually exploited clients. That's what she does all week--provide therapy services to those children.Evelyn S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02139868988311962712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1105171804337429232.post-46545306288436102642011-10-22T06:14:25.184-07:002011-10-22T06:14:25.184-07:00AMEN!

Later, both of my daughters told me about efforts in their own small college city to shut down places where enslaved women were working as exotic dancers or that type thing. This is a moderately sized city in the heart of Georgia. It's not just thousands of miles away, we MUST stand.Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05671482394424988047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1105171804337429232.post-10018191475666612182011-10-22T05:15:38.905-07:002011-10-22T05:15:38.905-07:00This is heart-wrentching!
