She sat in the corner, on the floor with her head hidden between her knees. As she wept, her arms trembled over her head. Her 10-year-old daughter stood by with her baby sister riding on her hip, ready to translate her mother’s Spanish sobs.
The young mother just couldn’t believe what had just happened. The man that she was living with, the father of her youngest child, had just beat her in a parking lot, in front of God, passers-by and her own children.

Leftists don’t believe in parents. or parental responsibilities.
Its the governments job to raise kids. duh.
The military has been requiring annual courses in recognizing and combating human trafficking for at least 5 years now. I remember being outright shocked at how graphic the first computer based training (CBT) class really was about what was going on, especially overseas, but here at home as well.
I would like to share a documentary about human trafficking more such documentaries should be made to make people aware about the modern day crime ‘Innocents Lost’ a documentary by Brian Woods
