For too long I have watched those that harm children go free of punishment. Hiding in plain site. Let me tell you one thing I know for sure. Most times, children who are sexually abused, are abused by someone they know. Someone who is supposed to protect them. Keep your children close, and talk to them about these dangers. Kids have a right to these bounderies! It makes me sad to know that there are so many out there that this is happening to. Please tell your kids that if anything like this ever happens, no matter the threat, speak up! Because those of us who do protect children will crush those predators into oblivion. #sexualassault #ChildAbusePreventionMonth

That's great and all but i hate celebs asking for donations. How about YOU donate, some people are barely squeakin' by.

Soo... how many of YOU are actively fighting against child trafficking? Or do you just like to complain about celebrities?

Also teach children to scream "I don't know this person/not my mom/not my dad" if they are in trouble. Because this way people>>

will most likely react instead of ignoring what they perceive as a typical child behavior or tantrum

Obviously that requires us adults to fight through our fear, embarrassment apathy and anxiety and actually Help

Approach a situation calmly and ask a child not an adult. It's better to make a fool of yourself then risk a child's life

This, but I’m also going to teach my kids how to fight and kick guys in the nuts

Also teach your kids the real words for their genitals and body parts so they aren’t embarrassed to talk about them
smorsdoeuvres
Yes. Got into that a bit with a user who got really upset about gender identity. 1 of my concerns was abuse
KeyLimeAnxiety
That’s why you can use language such as “person with a period” or “person with a penis” To teach about those differences and be inclusive

Some people use the acceptance of modern day society to run from problems, the person you were talking to could have experienced abuse and >

therefore did not want to accept or face things that would perhaps make them experience bad memories/thoughts.

They all have millions to donate, I don't
malbec
Which is better. One celebrity donating a million dollars, or a million regular people donating $2.
Zhadowolf
Then don’t donate millions. Donate your time, whatever relevant skill you have, or even just a dollar and tell other people to help
JennieBee
It's about awareness. And the lessons to teach kids in order to protect them and keep them safe.
freckledkink
You don't have to donate millions. Donate $5 once to a charity. Speak out when you hear people saying ignorant things or doing something
freckledkink
Wrong. Volunteer if you're able to. Vote in every election, no matter how small. Every action counts towards helping someone in need.
freckledkink
I have 0 money, and am too disabled to reliably volunteer anywhere. I vote on everything, donate a few $ here and there, and speak out

a huge part of the pornography industry. Seriously. An enormous part of it. If you consume porn and don’t know exactly who every actor is

and where they’ve come from, then you have probably financially supported child and human trafficking at some point.

-And probably financially supported it a lot more frequently than you’d like to believe, as well as increasing the demand for it.

Well, it could be said the same about religion. Maybe more since repression more than satisfaction feel would push to perversion.

Didn't he do it really quietly for a long time because he didn't want it seen as just a publicity thing or am I thinking of something else?

Yeah people started going "why haven't he been in movies lately" and then it started slipping out that apparently he was busy saving lives.
TheShaffinator
yeah I think you hit the nail on the head there, he avoided having it turn into a huge publicity thing
yathatsgood
I am of two minds. On one hand ya it would be a shittycthing to just make yourself look better, but on the other hand he could use his fame
Gjad95
I think that it doesn't matter why someone does it, as long as its a good deed they're doing.
TheGhastHunter
I don't think he's doubting the reason, I think he's considering that Kutcher could use his high visibility position to help the cause.

He made a computer program to better track them down
neutronfish
It’s software that recognises hotel rooms to make it easier to track down where a suspected trafficking victim is in pics on dark net forums

Crowdsourced photos.
cartmanstitss
Tedious to say the last lol. Maybe in the future tho
Pandameter
Hotels often have pictures of their rooms to, advertise said rooms to those who would stay in them. You make the database yourself
