January is Human Trafficking Awareness Month - BRH Reblogs Seduced: The Grooming of America's Teenagers!

~~~

Opal Singleton: My Journey

I wrote this book because I care. I work in combating child sex trafficking in the U.S. and Southeast Asia. Most people think human trafficking is primarily about kidnapping or dealing with coyotes trying to bring foreigners into our country. It is not. Seventy-two percent of human trafficking cases in California are U.S. citizens. Most are our children being accessed, groomed, and recruited into "The Life."

Gangs, pimps, and predators seek out the vulnerable: foster children, homeless children, running-away children, pregnant teens and all kids on the Internet who make themselves available. I sit with parents who are looking for their missing children. I talk with guys and girls who are being blackmailed and recruited because they sent a naked photo to their newfound friend. I make presentations to government officials, corporations, civic groups, churches, and the public nearly seventy hours a week. I drive 3000-4000 miles a month...

To this day, I read every child sex trafficking case in the U.S. and every child porn exploitation case in the world through Google Alerts. I want to teach myself how all of this happens, because almost every time it is different. Predators change their tactics. Pimps are opportunists and they will take the low road every time, but the low road changes...

Then in late 2011 or early 2012, we have a significant case of child sex trafficking that changed my life. A beautiful young girl with a two-parent household was recruited into prostitution in her high school by another girl. This recruiter is called a bottom girl."

 Seduced: The Grooming of America's Teenagers

By Opal Singleton

There will be many individuals who will claim that this book is a must-read besides me... For me, it's the most important book I have read, ever, and probably will continue to be... By now, some of you have realized that Human Trafficking is a topic I highlight whenever books include something about this unforgivable activity that is spreading across the world like a deadly virus!

What I did not know, however, is how human trafficking has become the ultimate goal of criminals in whatever area of corruption is carried on! Drugs are used and gone, it has been seen; but enslaved humans can be used over and over and therefore much more valuable as a product! 

And what is the primary tool by which Children are seduced? The Internet--

particularly that smart phone that you've just handed to your young child or teenager after giving in to their crying, pouting, demanding, just to keep them quiet! The question is, do you routinely monitor their use after that?

Never before in history has there been so much
competition to influence your child's morals,
spirituality, sexuality, gender identity, self-image,
and decision-making. We are at a unique time
in the universe where perfectly normal parents
hand their child a device that provides literally
hundreds of thousands of unknown individuals
around the globe access to their child's
ideological formation 24/7. Until recently the
parent was the single biggest influence in a
young person's life. Proverbs 22:6 says, "Train
up a child in the way he should go and when he
is old, he will not depart from it."
How does that work with the latest technological
advancements? Many parents only have access
to their child about fifteen percent of the day.
The rest of the day the teens spends texting,
tweeting, sharing photos, and chatting in
video chat rooms and online apps. Then there
is school, sports, DVDs, TV, movies, music,
friends and online games. All too often,
parents used technology as a convenient
babysitter...
Who's grooming our children?"
!!!

SEDUCED;

TAKE ONE TWELVE-YEAR-OLD

ADD BIOLOGICAL CHANGES,

HORMONES RAGING

FRONTAL LOBE PARTIALLY DEVELOPED

DESPERATE NEED FOR PEER APPROVAL

HAND THEM A DEVICE WITH 24/7 ACCESS TO THE ENTIRE WORLD

ADD VIOLENCE AND SEXUAL ANIMATION

LET THEM CREATE AN AVATAR (A FANTASY CHARACTER IN A REAL WORLD)

OPEN THE DOOR TO NEARLY A MILLION PREDATORS AROUND THE GLOBE TO SUCCEED; HE NEEDS THE APPROVAL OF A GUILD MANAGER 

AND OTHER GUILD PLAYERS...WHO ARE ALSO AVATARS.

Did you follow any of that? If not, you are not prepared to deal with what your child has access to and is probably already using!

Many parents are both working these days as expenses soar...Children are often on their own... In the past, they could moan, "I'm bored." Not anymore! Giving in to just one request--a smart phone--will give your child access to the world. Sure, it helps to do homework...but, believe me, that ad on the TV that shows the little boy hiding what he's really doing on the computer, instead of his school paper, is true!

When I discovered the seduction of games, I was shocked! See yesterday's article for examples of just one game, ONE GAME!

Grand Theft Auto was bad enough to spotlight stealing cars and getting away...but now, the latest has the scenes showing as if your child was in the driver's seat...

And they've added prostitution...where the child can have his own performance to be visualized in his mind as if he were there! What's worse, however, is the finale where the driver kills the prostitute by car--so that he doesn't have to pay for the sex! OMG! This is bad enough for an adult to participate in--but now, just by providing access to the Internet--you allow your child to play the same games! Or you purchase them for them, thinking that the game is all about fast cars and "pretend" stealing... "Pretend sex" for a child is just the same as having it, in my opinion!

Facebook is no longer a site that interests children and teens...Their parents can connect to them! The other sites mentioned in this book I had never heard of...and I'm on the computer every day and have a good knowledge of using the computer and the concurrent terminology... All I can visualize is all these child predators out there, joining what are teen sites, building a false identity and seducing young girls and boys into something that either becomes embarrassing such as sharing a nude picture, or being blackmailed or worse, having the photo sent all over the world to other predators... 

Nothing shocked me in this book as being something I was not aware of, especially with my reading schedule. What did shock me was the merge of gangs, drug lords and other large criminal enterprises moving in so that the net to capture children has grown to such an extent that stopping it MUST be from the efforts of everybody who loves and wants to protect children, teens...and adults as well (Human Trafficking is about any age and either sex.)

What that means is that even while police, at every level, are diligently working on the problem, it has moved well beyond their ability to handle it! A Frightening Thought: Are the majority of people who watch Special Victims: Law and Order and have kept it popular, actually criminals learning from the program?! (Sorry, when I found this vid, I just had to use--you're right, promoting the accepting of painful abuse of women is another outrage for me!)

Have you used limiting access to the phone or other electronic tools as a disciplinary action? Wasn't successful was it? Seduced is all about how access is used to groom and recruit young people, which all too often ends in exploitation. It is designed to be a parent-empowering program. It is a guide for parents to understand the influence and coercion processes, and most critically, equip adults with dialogue, insights and psychology that can put the power back into parenting...

Please, please consider this important book! It may save your child's life! What is found in this book is NOT fiction; it is based upon actual case studies from all over the world, INCLUDING THE UNITED STATES! Don't wait until it's too late and then spend the rest of you life regretting that your child has disappeared...

THIS IS NOT THE END OF MY TALKING ABOUT THIS BOOK...

SUCK IT UP AND REALIZE HUMAN TRAFFICKING EXISTS, AND IS ESPECIALLY DANGEROUS FOR CHILDREN!

YOU MUST BECOME INVOLVED!

Seduced: The Grooming of America's Teenagers - So You Think You Know What Gaming is All About?

I've chosen to write in Black instead of my signature color for my blog(s). Black represents Bad, Death...Republicans?

It is May 28th, 2022...

In my opinion, Life in America is worse than at any time during my life...Specifically, over 60 Years.

At this point in my life, My Mind Inextricably Combines Three Major Issues That Daily Corrupt Living in America

Abortion

Abuse

Guns

They all relate to death... And yet, for many Americans, including me, what I see is that 

WE, THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA..

HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO CONTROL OVER ANY OF THESE ISSUES.

I BLAME THE REPUBLICAN PARTY

EVEN THE SUPREME COURT IS NO LONGER TO BE TRUSTED!

...Because of the Republican Party.

 I recognize that there are hundreds of thousands of republicans who may wish to deal intellectually, logically, and in consideration of all factors as laws or policies are made. If you are reading this, please consider that now is the time to speak up and go against the supposed party of life...

And see that, really, they are a party of death.

I have tried all of my life to NOT stereotype an individual based upon race, creed, religion, gender...and more

What I find is that I am NO longer able...nor Willing

to NOT Stereotype every single republican who has allowed that party to reach the stage of total chaos...

while at the same time, doggedly stopping every single action that polls show that Americans are in favor of.

The latest percentage of that divide is 90-10%!!!

That means that no more than 10% of our national interests ARE BEING ADDRESSED

How in God's Name Have we Arrived--and even made it--to 2022?

I started thinking about historically, how America, both before and after the Constitution, really have not supported that document which states that 

All People Are Considered as Equal in our United States...

There are too many responses to that proclamation

at this time, to even BELIEVE It Is Being Treated As A Guiding Role of Our Government--by and for the people.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

STOP!

Let's look at Just One Example of a Constantly Growing Activity

If you have children and they play video games... and you don't know what your children are learning about in those games...
then watch these trailers--just publicity vids for the games THAT WERE EASILY FOUND!--imagine what the real game includes!

I am angry, indignant, frustrated...but mostly angry...
I hope you will be too!

Look for review of 

Grand Theft Auto is an action-adventure video game series created by David Jones and Mike Dailly;^[3] the later titles of which were created by brothers Dan and Sam Houser, Leslie Benzies and Aaron Garbut. It is primarily developed byRockstar North (formerly DMA Design), and published by Rockstar Games. The name of the series references the term used in the USA for motor vehicle theft.

Most games in the series are set in fictional locales modelled on American cities, usually either Liberty City, Vice City, or San Andreas, which are stand-ins for New York City, Miami, and the state of California, respectively. The first 2D titles encompassed three fictional cities, while 3D and HD titles tend to emphasise a single city and its outlying areas.Gameplay focuses on an open world where the player can choose missions to progress an overall story, as well as engaging in side activities, all consisting of action-adventure, driving, third-person shooting, occasional role-playing,stealth, and racing elements. The series also has elements of the earlier beat 'em up games from the 16-bit era. The series has gained controversy for its adult nature and violent themes. The series focuses around many different protagonists who attempt to rise through the ranks of the criminal underworld, although their motives for doing so vary in each game. The antagonists are commonly characters who have betrayed the protagonist or his organisation, or characters who have the most impact impeding the protagonist's progress.

Video game developer DMA Design began the series in 1997; as of 2014 it has eleven stand-alone games and fourexpansion packs. The third chronological title, Grand Theft Auto III, was widely acclaimed, as it brought the series to a 3D setting and more immersive experience, and is considered a landmark title that has subsequently influenced many other open world action games and led to the label "Grand Theft Auto clone" on similar games. Subsequent titles would follow and build upon the concept established in Grand Theft Auto III. Film and music veterans have voiced characters, including Ray Liotta, Burt Reynolds, Dennis Hopper, Samuel L. Jackson, Debbie Harry, Phil Collins, Axl Rose, and Peter Fonda.^[4] The series has been critically acclaimed and commercially successful, having sold more than 150 million units, as of September 2013.^[5]

Plot

After witnessing the heist of the Bank of Liberty (carried out by Niko Bellic and Packie McReary), Luis Fernando Lopez enters the loft of his employer, owner of successful clubs Maisonette 9 and Hercules "Gay" Tony Prince. Tony is in serious financial trouble, having taken out massive loans from the Ancelotti crime family and Mori Kibbutz in order to keep his clubs running. He asks Luis to work for Mori (later revealed to be Brucie Kibbutz's older brother) and Rocco Pelosi, an Ancelotti gangster, in order to satisfy his debts. Luis soon becomes acquainted with Yusuf Amir, an Emirati real estate developer who is interested in purchasing and franchising one of Tony's clubs, and Ray Bulgarin, a Russian crime lord he met in the club. Tony also plans to buy two million dollars worth of diamonds in order to sell them at a higher price, but members of The Lost Motorcycle Club, led by Johnny Klebitz, intervene the trading and steal them, resulting in the death of Tony's boyfriend Evan Moss. Luis manages to intercept a meeting to trade the diamonds and recovers them. Bulgarin soon reveals that the diamonds are his property, and believes that Luis and Tony colluded to steal them, marking them for death. Giovanni Ancelotti orders that the diamonds are to be used as a ransom payment for his daughter Gracie, who was kidnapped by Niko Bellic and Patrick McReary.

Rocco meets with Luis, and suggest that he should kill Tony in order to gain favour with Bulgarin, so that he will spare him. Though he contemplates doing so, Luis ultimately refuses and escapes Tony's club when Russian gangsters sent by Bulgarin assault it. Luis travels to Firefly Island to disrupt Bulgarin's drug operations and cut off his main cash flow, and learns that Bulgarin is fleeing the city by plane within two hours. With the help of Yusuf (who kills Bulgarin's henchmen attacking Luis) with his Buzzard attack chopper, Luis manages to board the plane, and kills all of the henchmen on board. A vengeful Bulgarin emerges from the cockpit holding a grenade, threatening destruction to both of them if Luis kills him. Luis takes the risk and shoots Bulgarin. A dying Bulgarin drops the grenade causing the front of the plane to explode. Luis parachutes out of the burning wreckage of the plane to safety, and heads to Meadows Park where Tony is waiting . Once there, they both decline Yusuf's intention to franchise the clubs, as they prefer to keep it a "family business".

In a small twist ending, the diamonds continually fought for are found by a homeless man in the trash.

Like The Lost and Damned, this story also intertwines with the main story of Grand Theft Auto IV. The first main part of the storyline that intertwines is the diamond deal. A cook aboard the ship Platypus finds the diamonds (as seen in the opening credits of Grand Theft Auto IV, and the deal between Tony and the cook is disrupted by the Lost motorcycle club, also shown in the Lost and Damned. The second deal at the Libertonian with Isaac is also shown in both DLCs, as well as Grand Theft Auto IV. The trading of the diamonds in exchange for Gracie also is in both Grand Theft Auto IV and the game, as well as the aftermath of the diamonds, which had fallen into a dump truck, seemingly finding their way into a trash can, later found by the homeless man. Yusef Amir is mentioned briefly by Playboy X in Grand Theft Auto IV during the mission in which Niko and he attempt to take back one of his construction sites. Gay Tony is also briefly mentioned by "French" Tom Rivas, who talks about his bankruptcy. The big heist of the Bank of Liberty also features both Niko and Luis.

Now let's look at reviews...

The new release of Grand Theft Auto V is out today, bringing the game to the next generation of consoles. Now running on the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, players can enjoy the game in first-person mode, making it seem as if they're really inside the game. 

But eyebrows are already being raised over one part of the new game: First-person sex with prostitutes. 

Needless to say, this will be controversial, and the company has likely deliberately created this aspect of the game in part because it knows it will generate headlines.

Prostitutes have controversially existed in Grand Theft Auto games for years, but in the past, players have had their view of sex acts obscured by car doors. Now, it all takes place in full view of the player, who can move the camera around to get a better view.

NOTE THAT THE REVIEWS I FOUND CAME FROM UK NOT USA??? COINCIDENTAL?
IS AMERICA SO SATURATED WITH SEX THAT ANYTHING GOES NOW?
BE PREPARED FOR SHOCKS THAT MAY make you WISH YOU WERE'T PARENTS...


A SPECIAL NOTE TO READERS AT BOOK READERS HEAVEN:  

 RIGHT NOW, YOU MAY HAVE CHILDREN THAT ARE SEEING extreme violence and sex
AND PARTICIPATING IN...Worse, Even Games
WAKE UP AMERICANS!
CONTINUE TO SHOW THAT SELF-RIGHTEOUS SIDE TO THE WORLD.
WHILE YOUR CHILDREN ARE BEING 


SEDUCED!

THIS BOOK IS one of THE MOST IMPORTANT I'VE EVER READ AND REVIEWED...

SO FAR...

Note: While I was dealing with medical issues, I didn't get this finished for publishing...

Still important, though, isn't it?!

A final note...Some things have improved since Trump lost.  Except in these most important areas. Tell me, why haven't we heard much from the Evangelical Christians who worked so hard to put Trump in office...

The thing is, folks, you guys who are parents, who are republicans that value guns more than children lives... are actually teaching your children about violence...

You incite violence on abortion, while caring or doing nothing about children who are raped by incest, or abused by pedophiles... 

IF books are being written about our children being seduced...as we see on television, movies, and in games, then where were the republicans in working to better control the separation of these issues from children? If Evangelical Christians are so sure that they must do something, then, 

WHY HAVE THEY WAITED SO LONG?!!!!!!!

In my opinion, It's too late

The Cat is Already Out of the Bag...

WWJD?
