A Christian physician warns about human trafficking and online sexual extortion targeting young people. He names two anti-trafficking groups, No Trafficking Zone and Jaco Booyens Ministries, and shares a story of a teenage boy who died by suicide after being blackmailed online.
Thank you for that. And it is, it's one of those things that it's uncomfortable, right? It's uncomfortable to talk about. There's a lot of guilt and shame carried around that. But if we don't expose a light, especially me as a Christian and a believer, we are called to shed, shine light on the darkness. And so there are great organizations out there. No Trafficking Zone, Jacqueline Eloto is one of my very dear friends. You can look them up there. She started outside of Houston doing great work. And then Jaco Booyens Ministries does a lot. Um, he's out of Dallas but does stuff on a national scale. But you know, when you're talking about it, it's not, it's not just for women or children, it's for men and young men as well. I have, like I said, a daughter that's 17, and I was just talking to her and some of her friends about it, that hey, if you're ever in a situation, please let me know. And, um, because We just heard of a young man, a young teen male that, you know, committed suicide because he had been approached by people online. And what they do is they have them, and male and female, do things online with them. And then they say, if you don't give us money, we're going to tell your parents, we're going to share this. So it really is a very serious issue.
