The Dark Truth: Sexual Predators In Our Neighborhood

WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:15.600
Music.

00:00:16.161 --> 00:00:20.081
Hello, this is Dr. Kevin Cruz with the Truth, Faith, and Action Alliance,

00:00:20.081 --> 00:00:24.381
and we're grateful that you're interested in becoming aware of the large-scale

00:00:24.381 --> 00:00:26.221
sexual assault against our children.

00:00:26.401 --> 00:00:31.161
But before we get started, please don't forget to like our videos and subscribe to our channel.

00:00:31.541 --> 00:00:36.141
Liking and sharing our videos and posting them on your social media is one of

00:00:36.141 --> 00:00:40.221
the best ways to help because most people are unaware of what's happening.

00:00:40.221 --> 00:00:45.001
The situation that initially caught my attention with respect to sex trafficking

00:00:45.001 --> 00:00:47.021
literally happened right next door.

00:00:47.281 --> 00:00:52.001
We live in a very rural area, but the huge house next door sat vacant for many

00:00:52.001 --> 00:00:54.981
years. At one point, I even thought about purchasing it.

00:00:55.261 --> 00:00:59.501
When someone eventually did, I asked their builder, what's going on with all

00:00:59.501 --> 00:01:00.801
those small rooms upstairs?

00:01:01.141 --> 00:01:05.561
That's when he informed me that the previous owner was arrested for sex trafficking

00:01:05.561 --> 00:01:08.321
in multiple countries. No, I'm not kidding.

00:01:08.901 --> 00:01:12.801
Now, before going any further, I realize that this subject is sensitive and

00:01:12.801 --> 00:01:14.401
difficult for most of us to hear.

00:01:14.721 --> 00:01:18.501
But I want to put you at ease because just like the Sound of Freedom movie,

00:01:18.761 --> 00:01:24.321
we'll be doing a PG-13 type presentation of what we can all agree is a crucial topic.

00:01:24.621 --> 00:01:28.381
The good news is that millions of people have now watched the Sound of Freedom

00:01:28.381 --> 00:01:30.721
movie. And if you haven't watched it, you should.

00:01:31.101 --> 00:01:35.801
Believe it or not, it received a shocking 100% Rotten Tomatoes audience score.

00:01:36.061 --> 00:01:40.361
Of course, I love the movie's theme. God's children are not for sale.

00:01:40.661 --> 00:01:42.321
Here's what we learned from the movie.

00:01:42.701 --> 00:01:47.141
Human trafficking is now a $150 billion a year industry.

00:01:47.661 --> 00:01:51.901
Tragically, the U.S. is one of the top destinations for human trafficking and

00:01:51.901 --> 00:01:54.061
a top consumer of child porn.

00:01:54.641 --> 00:01:58.881
Unfortunately, there are more people trapped in slavery today than at any point

00:01:58.881 --> 00:02:03.641
in human history, including when slavery was legal. Some sources can see that

00:02:03.641 --> 00:02:09.301
millions of these slaves are children and that sex slavery is the most common kind of slavery.

00:02:09.541 --> 00:02:15.801
Yet under the Joe Biden administration, 85,000 undocumented children have gone missing.

00:02:16.041 --> 00:02:20.421
The 85,000 represents the number of children who cannot be reached.

00:02:20.661 --> 00:02:26.621
However, the total number led into our country was 152,000 in 2022.

00:02:27.241 --> 00:02:30.501
Just remember that's only a small part of the children that are coming through

00:02:30.501 --> 00:02:32.081
our border in any given year.

00:02:32.321 --> 00:02:37.461
There's also a terrifying change of attitude when it comes to sex trafficking and pedophilia.

00:02:37.661 --> 00:02:41.461
I've already shared an article where the New York Times says that pedophilia

00:02:41.461 --> 00:02:43.541
is a disorder and not a crime.

00:02:43.741 --> 00:02:49.021
But CNN has done one better. In an article called The Myth of the Monster Pedophile,

00:02:49.261 --> 00:02:50.741
here are some of their conclusions.

00:02:51.321 --> 00:02:55.841
Pedophiles are not monsters or social deviants lying in the shadows.

00:02:55.841 --> 00:02:59.861
It's high time we updated our image of pedophiles.

00:03:00.001 --> 00:03:04.521
The second article called for sympathy because they didn't choose to be a pedophile.

00:03:05.071 --> 00:03:10.591
Now think about Epstein Island, his mysterious death, and yet there's still no real investigation.

00:03:10.951 --> 00:03:15.591
More recently, the arrest of Sean Diddy Combs included allegations of sex trafficking

00:03:15.591 --> 00:03:17.551
and that there were minors involved.

00:03:18.031 --> 00:03:22.211
The problem is that P. Diddy is the heart of the entire music industry,

00:03:22.431 --> 00:03:26.991
and celebrities, politicians, and even preachers have been known to party with him.

00:03:27.151 --> 00:03:31.031
But we will have to wait more until that story breaks. However,

00:03:31.271 --> 00:03:36.171
we've already talked about how sex trafficking was barely being punished in some states.

00:03:36.411 --> 00:03:38.431
For example, trafficking children

00:03:38.431 --> 00:03:43.271
for sex in California was only recently changed to a felony in 2023.

00:03:44.171 --> 00:03:47.471
Buying children was also a misdemeanor until the same year.

00:03:47.511 --> 00:03:52.991
But even after the change, they decided that 16 and 17-year-olds would remain

00:03:52.991 --> 00:03:57.651
a misdemeanor. But I want to talk about a New Zealand case where a judge declared

00:03:57.651 --> 00:04:01.431
that 12-year-old children can consent to sex with adults.

00:04:01.611 --> 00:04:06.431
The case in question featured a 45-year-old man whose defense centered on the

00:04:06.431 --> 00:04:08.851
claim that this 12-year-old wanted it.

00:04:09.351 --> 00:04:14.571
Legally, a person under 16 cannot give consent for charges of indecent acts.

00:04:14.811 --> 00:04:20.051
Therefore, as a jury, all you need to decide is if the indecent acts took place.

00:04:20.231 --> 00:04:25.511
Then came the kicker. But as for sexual intercourse, a person under 16 can give

00:04:25.511 --> 00:04:31.251
consent, you need to consider whether or not the consent was given based on the evidence you have.

00:04:31.491 --> 00:04:36.991
At this point, it's plain to see that society's attitudes about children are

00:04:36.991 --> 00:04:40.491
horrifying, but this may only be the tip of the iceberg.

00:04:40.711 --> 00:04:45.171
This leaves many of us wondering what in the world could we possibly do to help?

00:04:45.171 --> 00:04:50.191
Thankfully, we have Nate Lewis from TheInnocent.org to share with us not only

00:04:50.191 --> 00:04:54.111
how close this issue is to our home, but also what we can do about it.

00:04:54.471 --> 00:04:59.071
Indeed, Nate is going to help us see that sex trafficking is not happening like you think.

00:04:59.471 --> 00:05:04.131
Nate Lewis is the founder of TheInnocent.org, and their mission is to protect

00:05:04.131 --> 00:05:07.491
and preserve the innocence of children from sex trafficking.

00:05:07.991 --> 00:05:10.151
Exploitation, and sexual assault.

00:05:10.151 --> 00:05:14.451
Previously, Nate was an executive for one of the largest organizations trying

00:05:14.451 --> 00:05:16.171
to prevent global trafficking.

00:05:16.471 --> 00:05:21.931
Nate also collaborates with federal and local law enforcement agencies in online

00:05:21.931 --> 00:05:25.211
investigations and operations. Here is Nate Lewis.

00:05:26.160 --> 00:06:45.040
Music.

00:06:45.402 --> 00:06:51.522
Well, thank you for having me. I appreciate being here. I'm from the Northwest in Idaho.

00:06:51.862 --> 00:06:55.802
So being down here, it's like summer. And so I'm really enjoying the sun and

00:06:55.802 --> 00:06:57.142
the people. You guys are amazing.

00:06:57.562 --> 00:07:01.962
Met a lot of amazing people here. And just thank you to Yvette and Kevin for

00:07:01.962 --> 00:07:05.262
having me. Really appreciate it. Really appreciate you having me here.

00:07:05.722 --> 00:07:08.602
A little background on me. I did.

00:07:08.722 --> 00:07:11.442
I worked, I think you read a little bit about it. I worked for one of the largest

00:07:11.442 --> 00:07:13.742
organizations, Actually, the movie, The Sound of Freedom.

00:07:14.002 --> 00:07:17.542
So I worked for that organization for several years, traveled the world,

00:07:18.182 --> 00:07:21.222
dealing with human trafficking. I'll give you a little brief on human trafficking.

00:07:21.702 --> 00:07:27.862
So we dealt with, we focused on child sex trafficking, which sex and child shouldn't

00:07:27.862 --> 00:07:29.402
really mix as we all know.

00:07:29.522 --> 00:07:33.462
But we also dealt with human trafficking and child trafficking with like forced labor.

00:07:33.942 --> 00:07:38.202
One of my first experiences was hunting witch doctors that were sacrificing

00:07:38.202 --> 00:07:41.522
children. And that was kind of my no turning back point.

00:07:42.142 --> 00:07:47.642
We dealt with organ harvesting, forced begging, online exploitation,

00:07:48.202 --> 00:07:50.902
child sex hotels. Yes, it's a thing.

00:07:51.542 --> 00:07:55.122
We, we, we, I saw a lot of shocking things.

00:07:55.722 --> 00:08:01.322
Then I kept getting asked by so many people, what are you doing right here in the United States?

00:08:01.782 --> 00:08:04.162
And, you know, we were focused mostly international.

00:08:05.142 --> 00:08:09.722
And I kept wondering like, well, how, how can we do more here in the United States?

00:08:09.722 --> 00:08:14.162
And so I worked a lot with law enforcement and talking to law enforcement,

00:08:14.562 --> 00:08:19.582
you know, understanding where their lacks of budgeting and their personnel,

00:08:20.162 --> 00:08:23.482
what they needed to really focus on this. And I'll get into that here in a second.

00:08:23.662 --> 00:08:29.542
I realized that there's an opportunity here to get the people to fund their

00:08:29.542 --> 00:08:32.422
local police to protect their communities from predators.

00:08:32.422 --> 00:08:39.442
So we exist to protect and preserve the innocence of children from sex trafficking,

00:08:39.442 --> 00:08:45.282
exploitation, and sexual assault by equipping and training law enforcement to

00:08:45.282 --> 00:08:46.322
do online investigations.

00:08:46.722 --> 00:08:51.822
So our specialty really is the training and some of this technology that they

00:08:51.822 --> 00:08:54.462
can't afford. Some of this technology is very expensive.

00:08:54.782 --> 00:08:57.862
These companies have a monopoly pretty much on this equipment.

00:08:57.862 --> 00:09:01.482
And so they don't spend their money on some of this equipment. it.

00:09:01.682 --> 00:09:06.422
So they also don't know where to start. Sometimes some of these rural departments

00:09:06.422 --> 00:09:07.742
don't know where to start.

00:09:08.382 --> 00:09:12.182
So we are able to meet them wherever they are. If they've never done these investigations,

00:09:12.362 --> 00:09:15.642
if they're already doing these investigations, we can take them to the next

00:09:15.642 --> 00:09:21.302
level, maybe get them into the organized crime units of this atrocity.

00:09:21.382 --> 00:09:24.402
Look at this. Can we go to the next one? I don't need my face up there any longer.

00:09:25.342 --> 00:09:30.062
So this is the foundation. You can keep going here. This will just keep me on

00:09:30.062 --> 00:09:32.362
track. Keep going to the next slide, please.

00:09:33.022 --> 00:09:35.702
Keep going. Keep going.

00:09:37.120 --> 00:09:41.220
One more, please. Yeah. So that'll kind of tell you a little bit more about

00:09:41.220 --> 00:09:44.700
kind of what we're doing. We're developing the relationships with law enforcement and communities.

00:09:44.920 --> 00:09:47.280
You can keep going here onto the next slide.

00:09:47.700 --> 00:09:51.100
Here's some statistics that I think are shocking to most people.

00:09:51.560 --> 00:09:56.780
If you look at some of these statistics, there's 42 million survivors of sexual

00:09:56.780 --> 00:09:58.780
assault living in the United States right now.

00:09:59.260 --> 00:10:03.440
That's one in eight. So there's quite a few in here today. I'm not going to

00:10:03.440 --> 00:10:04.420
ask you to raise your hand.

00:10:05.280 --> 00:10:10.720
It's, it's, it's a prevalent problem, sexual assault. That's why we focus on

00:10:10.720 --> 00:10:13.160
trafficking, exploitation online.

00:10:13.820 --> 00:10:19.360
We also focus on, we watch the pattern of life. So we know where these criminals start.

00:10:19.760 --> 00:10:23.780
We know that back when I was a kid, it was Sports Illustrated's swimsuit issue.

00:10:23.900 --> 00:10:26.340
And now we know that that's like nothing.

00:10:26.700 --> 00:10:29.420
A four-year-old can write the wrong thing on YouTube and find something,

00:10:29.900 --> 00:10:32.380
you know, you don't want to talk about with a four-year-old.

00:10:32.380 --> 00:10:36.860
And so we understand where are these criminals at? What are they doing? What's their activity?

00:10:37.080 --> 00:10:40.300
Are they searching the internet? What are they downloading? What are their activities?

00:10:40.880 --> 00:10:46.760
And then we can, we can go out there and do the investigations and kind of set them up in a sense.

00:10:46.900 --> 00:10:51.520
We go undercover, just like you would for a drug sting and you arrest them once

00:10:51.520 --> 00:10:53.960
they are attempting to commit a crime.

00:10:54.420 --> 00:10:58.040
What's important about that is if you look at our name, Innocence Rescue Mission,

00:10:58.180 --> 00:10:59.680
we're here to protect and preserve innocence.

00:11:00.020 --> 00:11:07.260
What we don't want is the guy to progress to a younger age and then an even

00:11:07.260 --> 00:11:09.720
younger age and then wanting to pay for that.

00:11:10.040 --> 00:11:14.620
And then eventually, even after paying for it, being in the wrong place at the

00:11:14.620 --> 00:11:17.720
wrong time and not paying for it, if you know what I mean.

00:11:17.840 --> 00:11:20.240
And I'm trying to be a little PG-13 here.

00:11:20.480 --> 00:11:23.440
I don't want to send y'all home to trauma therapy.

00:11:24.040 --> 00:11:28.440
So I kind of sugarcoated a little bit, but that's, that's a lot of what we're

00:11:28.440 --> 00:11:33.120
doing with law enforcement is getting them trained, getting them equipped to know how to go online.

00:11:33.360 --> 00:11:37.400
All this is happening online right now. There's the dark web and the light web.

00:11:37.940 --> 00:11:41.680
The dark web is where most of you guys don't know about. Most people don't,

00:11:41.740 --> 00:11:45.140
unless, unless you're in this arena, you know where to get it.

00:11:45.200 --> 00:11:48.400
Just like if you don't want to get meth, you know where to go to get meth.

00:11:48.560 --> 00:11:52.140
It's the same kind of a deal. But then the light web is where you guys are all

00:11:52.140 --> 00:11:55.400
on. Most of you, probably doing it all and that's social media.

00:11:56.080 --> 00:12:00.100
Social media plays a huge part in this. We talked a little bit about it earlier

00:12:00.100 --> 00:12:01.040
in the breakout session.

00:12:02.038 --> 00:12:06.078
Right now, they're not only allowing it, they're enabling it,

00:12:06.138 --> 00:12:07.978
and they're promoting it.

00:12:08.138 --> 00:12:12.858
So what our team does, so all my team is active duty law enforcement investigators

00:12:12.858 --> 00:12:16.418
and federal agents, the task force officers for federal agencies.

00:12:16.778 --> 00:12:21.178
And so what we do is we do undercover work, but it's mostly online undercover

00:12:21.178 --> 00:12:27.798
with fake profiles. and we can put in, we can create an account on these social media sites.

00:12:28.058 --> 00:12:35.178
And within minutes, literally sometimes seconds, we are instantly contacted

00:12:35.178 --> 00:12:38.138
to be pursued by a predator.

00:12:38.418 --> 00:12:46.838
On one very well-known Snapchat, we were, we got about 450 in a matter of days

00:12:46.838 --> 00:12:48.318
predators for a 14 year old.

00:12:48.538 --> 00:12:52.058
And they're actually, as soon as you start hitting, accept that friend request,

00:12:52.218 --> 00:12:54.538
accept, can just go down the list because you're getting so many.

00:12:54.798 --> 00:12:58.698
And then they instantly want to message you. They start giving you more,

00:12:58.998 --> 00:13:02.158
like that app just starts giving you more, like some more suggestions.

00:13:02.258 --> 00:13:07.998
And they know, and it actually even has like your emoji and your female 14 on there.

00:13:08.078 --> 00:13:11.298
And then you would think they can monitor the chat because in the chat,

00:13:11.498 --> 00:13:15.778
in order to do these types of crimes and to actually build a case that's prosecutable

00:13:15.778 --> 00:13:18.938
so that you can put them away, they have to agree to certain things.

00:13:19.058 --> 00:13:22.538
One of those things is they'd agree to your age. So in the chat,

00:13:22.698 --> 00:13:24.938
they're agreeing to your age being 14.

00:13:26.354 --> 00:13:30.274
You don't think you guys can monitor that and at least red flag that?

00:13:30.394 --> 00:13:34.894
I mean, I can't make a post on social media without me getting shut down for 30 days.

00:13:36.014 --> 00:13:39.234
So you're telling me this can't be monitored. So they're enabling it.

00:13:39.294 --> 00:13:43.714
And that's what I think is very important for those that were at the breakout session.

00:13:44.354 --> 00:13:47.934
Social media is such an important thing right now to be discussing.

00:13:47.934 --> 00:13:51.434
And it's very difficult. We know as parents, I said it earlier,

00:13:51.654 --> 00:13:56.254
I'll say it again for those that missed it. it's not even about having those conversations.

00:13:56.414 --> 00:14:01.354
It's about having the relationship with your children to be able to have those conversations.

00:14:01.654 --> 00:14:04.194
So you got to have that relationship. It has to start young.

00:14:04.374 --> 00:14:07.954
There's no way you're going to just not give them a phone at some certain age.

00:14:08.054 --> 00:14:08.994
They're going to get their own phone.

00:14:09.394 --> 00:14:11.734
There's no way for the rest of their life, you're going to keep them off these

00:14:11.734 --> 00:14:14.234
and their friends are on them. So they're probably going to be on there anyways.

00:14:14.614 --> 00:14:19.214
So really just educating your, the children on what are the dangers,

00:14:19.214 --> 00:14:24.214
because it's no longer taking candy from a stranger or the creepy guy at the

00:14:24.214 --> 00:14:29.154
playground, the playground's inside your house behind their door on their device.

00:14:29.594 --> 00:14:35.714
So you got to not let them inside your home communicating with your child through this phone.

00:14:35.914 --> 00:14:38.074
There's too many fake accounts.

00:14:38.394 --> 00:14:40.354
We were talking about it a little bit earlier.

00:14:41.314 --> 00:14:45.874
Well, first I'll start by saying this. If you're a young girl and you have on

00:14:45.874 --> 00:14:51.994
a social media account, it's 100% guarantee, 100%. If you're somewhat putting

00:14:51.994 --> 00:14:56.094
yourself out there, just somewhat, not even really trying, you will be approached.

00:14:56.374 --> 00:15:00.594
You will be approached, guaranteed. And I know one of my best friend's niece

00:15:00.594 --> 00:15:03.794
had to get off of it because she looked like the girl here.

00:15:04.154 --> 00:15:09.734
And she was approached 12 to 15 times a day by different people every day to

00:15:09.734 --> 00:15:11.254
where she had to just get off of it.

00:15:11.654 --> 00:15:15.594
Some more of those stats, if you can't read it, one in three girls will be sexually

00:15:15.594 --> 00:15:16.694
abused by the time they're 18.

00:15:17.414 --> 00:15:24.434
That's a new statistic, right? So 42 million, that comes from a population of 333 million.

00:15:25.814 --> 00:15:28.574
We're now looking at, that's eight. That's one in eight. Now,

00:15:28.754 --> 00:15:31.734
with the younger generation and what's going on, it's now going to be one in

00:15:31.734 --> 00:15:33.974
three. That's how prevalent it is because they're online.

00:15:34.314 --> 00:15:37.454
It's happening way more than it used to when we were all kids.

00:15:38.274 --> 00:15:42.474
It's happening over and over and over. Another staggering statistic is that

00:15:42.474 --> 00:15:44.434
20% of those, you'll look at that.

00:15:44.554 --> 00:15:48.714
If you can't read that, they're under the age of eight years old.

00:15:49.214 --> 00:15:55.294
And I can tell you, I won't, but I could tell you some horrific stories about really young kids.

00:15:55.474 --> 00:16:00.454
And what's even more mind-blowing is some of the parents that are selling or

00:16:00.454 --> 00:16:03.914
abusing their own children, which is absolutely mind-blowing.

00:16:04.414 --> 00:16:07.294
The last thought you're going to see there before we go to the next slide,

00:16:07.614 --> 00:16:14.014
there's 500,000 registered sex offenders in the United States.

00:16:14.714 --> 00:16:19.174
100,000 of those, no one knows where they are. And here's another crazy thing.

00:16:19.254 --> 00:16:24.174
If you're taking notes, go to a website called familywatchdog.us.

00:16:24.654 --> 00:16:28.974
It's the national registry. Put in your address and then try to sleep tonight

00:16:28.974 --> 00:16:36.194
because there are way more people who are registered as sex offenders in your

00:16:36.194 --> 00:16:37.574
neighborhood than you will believe it.

00:16:37.794 --> 00:16:40.214
And let me just tell you about that. Even though you're going to go in there

00:16:40.214 --> 00:16:42.174
and you're going to see their mugshot, you're going to read their case,

00:16:42.254 --> 00:16:44.534
you're going to see all that stuff and it's going to frighten you,

00:16:44.614 --> 00:16:51.734
but it'll make you more aware of the truth, thefamilywatchdog.us.

00:16:52.534 --> 00:16:56.954
The staggering thing about that website is that it'll freak you out and it'll

00:16:56.954 --> 00:17:02.394
probably shock you more than you've ever even thought. And I hear it all the

00:17:02.394 --> 00:17:04.614
time, all the time. And you're going to say it.

00:17:04.854 --> 00:17:09.734
I never would have thought it was that guy because they don't look like the

00:17:09.734 --> 00:17:14.594
kid at the park with the backpack on that's living in the streets. They're everywhere.

00:17:15.094 --> 00:17:18.594
Thursday night when we were doing operations, we were talking to an eighth grade

00:17:18.594 --> 00:17:23.154
math teacher, talking to a 14-year-old girl online. They're everywhere.

00:17:23.594 --> 00:17:27.714
They're everywhere. So that site that I told you about, that's going to only

00:17:27.714 --> 00:17:33.974
show you those who have been caught, arrested, convicted, found guilty,

00:17:33.974 --> 00:17:37.094
and then registered as a sex offender.

00:17:37.554 --> 00:17:41.414
That's that. Just take one step backwards. What if they didn't register,

00:17:42.014 --> 00:17:43.574
right? They're not going to be on there.

00:17:43.914 --> 00:17:47.394
And then many steps back, they haven't been caught. There's way more of those

00:17:47.394 --> 00:17:50.214
guys that haven't been caught, I can tell you right now.

00:17:50.554 --> 00:17:56.094
Just a little insight to this location. I didn't use this address,

00:17:56.334 --> 00:18:01.914
obviously, but my team did use an address locally hereby to do some undercover

00:18:01.914 --> 00:18:05.174
operations where we post a 14-year-old girl.

00:18:05.834 --> 00:18:09.634
And we did it on a lukewarm site, not even like the most grotesque one,

00:18:09.634 --> 00:18:13.294
But this is a site that's known for 100% just buying sex.

00:18:13.494 --> 00:18:17.554
A lot of it is for adults, but you will get children on there, obviously.

00:18:17.834 --> 00:18:21.194
And within 24 hours, we had 48.

00:18:22.438 --> 00:18:26.818
Responses here locally. If you go to Tampa, you're looking at hundreds,

00:18:27.178 --> 00:18:28.178
close to a thousand, probably.

00:18:28.638 --> 00:18:33.018
That's how prevalent this is. In a town that I grew up in, and this is when

00:18:33.018 --> 00:18:36.538
I was telling you earlier about all that shocking stuff, like child sacrifice,

00:18:36.698 --> 00:18:38.858
organ harvesting that we do with this, it is shocking.

00:18:39.438 --> 00:18:42.858
This one, this is one of the biggest shockers to me when we started working

00:18:42.858 --> 00:18:46.618
inside the United States. I grew up in a small town, about 50,000 people.

00:18:47.098 --> 00:18:50.198
So of course I'm going to start there. And that's where my buddies are all there.

00:18:50.278 --> 00:18:54.518
They're active investigators and, And I said, Hey, let's start running some of this stuff here.

00:18:54.678 --> 00:18:56.858
We're going to, we're going to equip you guys. We're going to get you the training.

00:18:57.218 --> 00:18:59.618
And then they're like, well, how many, how many guys do you think we're going

00:18:59.618 --> 00:19:02.218
to catch? No, no, they're not. When I say guys, they're not all men,

00:19:02.298 --> 00:19:03.638
but most, for the most part there are.

00:19:03.938 --> 00:19:08.358
And I was like, I bet, I bet there's got to be at least 12, right? Like, all right.

00:19:08.818 --> 00:19:14.598
We run it within 24 hours, 55 different buyers in a small little town.

00:19:14.758 --> 00:19:17.998
I would have never have guessed that it would have been that high.

00:19:18.198 --> 00:19:21.878
And that was like, Whoa. And then we started to run them in different towns.

00:19:22.038 --> 00:19:23.158
I won't name some of these towns.

00:19:23.458 --> 00:19:28.718
And you're getting hundreds quick. Well, on Thursday night, we literally filmed

00:19:28.718 --> 00:19:31.918
us doing a stopwatch. He gets the ad ready to post. He's like, okay, ready?

00:19:32.658 --> 00:19:36.638
His button, it goes through. Start the stopwatch.

00:19:36.978 --> 00:19:43.458
10 seconds was our first message. Within six minutes, we had 42 messages on this site.

00:19:43.578 --> 00:19:45.958
And there's a lot of these sites. I'm just talking about one of them.

00:19:45.958 --> 00:19:49.818
This is happening over and over and over right here in our backyards.

00:19:49.918 --> 00:19:52.978
And most people don't even realize it. Can you go to the next slide, please?

00:19:53.518 --> 00:19:58.818
I'll try to keep on track here. So more statistics here. I'll let you kind of read some of these.

00:19:59.118 --> 00:20:02.758
This one says, these are all have sources at the bottom and I can share some

00:20:02.758 --> 00:20:05.398
of this stuff with you because you obviously can't read that. I can't even read that.

00:20:06.258 --> 00:20:11.858
So 500,000 internet predators are pursuing children right now daily,

00:20:11.878 --> 00:20:14.358
you can go to the next one.

00:20:15.038 --> 00:20:17.958
I will say on that last slide, you can keep it here. It's fine.

00:20:18.098 --> 00:20:20.958
On that last slide, I think this is really important.

00:20:21.218 --> 00:20:24.418
One of the really important things about what we do is, and we don't really

00:20:24.418 --> 00:20:29.158
know how much trafficking is going on, but when you look at the reports that

00:20:29.158 --> 00:20:34.218
are being provided in 2022, there was nearly 22,000,

00:20:34.858 --> 00:20:39.198
cases that were actively reported and acted upon.

00:20:39.358 --> 00:20:42.138
It's probably quite a significant more than that.

00:20:42.318 --> 00:20:48.198
But think about, even if it was 50,000 reports, which is an extraordinary amount,

00:20:48.278 --> 00:20:51.058
that's more than an NFL football stadium, right? Mostly.

00:20:51.458 --> 00:20:56.378
Think about the 42 million people living in the United States that have been sexually abused.

00:20:57.160 --> 00:21:00.960
That's why it's so important to do the online investigations because you've

00:21:00.960 --> 00:21:09.500
got stepdads that are abusing their stepchildren or abusing their neighbor's kid's friend, you know,

00:21:09.600 --> 00:21:16.160
or you've got coaches that are abusing their athletes that they're coaching. This is happening.

00:21:16.680 --> 00:21:20.940
Sex abuse is happening all the time everywhere.

00:21:21.320 --> 00:21:25.180
So even though we do focus on trafficking and we do focus on exploitation,

00:21:25.180 --> 00:21:27.680
which, by the way, if you're not familiar with what that is,

00:21:27.780 --> 00:21:32.500
that's me pretending to be a 14-year-old online and talking to a 14-year-old

00:21:32.500 --> 00:21:36.060
girl and telling her the things she's never heard before and making her feel really great.

00:21:36.280 --> 00:21:39.600
And then telling her to send me a picture of her in a bikini by the pool because

00:21:39.600 --> 00:21:42.200
she hangs out public in a bikini. It's nothing wrong with that.

00:21:42.480 --> 00:21:45.000
And then she starts sending pictures in her bikini. And then I start selling

00:21:45.000 --> 00:21:48.980
those online on the dark web of a 12-year-old, a 14-year-old in a bikini.

00:21:49.060 --> 00:21:50.920
And that's where it starts. And then it goes from there.

00:21:51.200 --> 00:21:54.560
And then how some of these predators work, this is very, very important for

00:21:54.560 --> 00:21:56.220
you. If you have kids, listen to this piece.

00:21:56.360 --> 00:21:59.840
This is what they need to know. And this will help you with these conversations.

00:22:00.380 --> 00:22:05.600
These guys, men, will create those accounts. They're fake. They prey on the vulnerable.

00:22:06.060 --> 00:22:10.080
Girl can just say, I hate boys. Make a post. We know where she's at.

00:22:10.220 --> 00:22:16.120
And then go in to a 14-year-old at a 50-year-old level of manipulation and manipulate

00:22:16.120 --> 00:22:19.100
that girl with really cute pictures of a young boy.

00:22:19.260 --> 00:22:22.280
And then start asking for those pictures. It takes a while. They start grooming them.

00:22:22.460 --> 00:22:26.560
And then these photos start coming and then they start sharing photos and all these things.

00:22:26.600 --> 00:22:31.920
And then they are now friends with her mom and her sister and all of her friends at school.

00:22:32.040 --> 00:22:34.920
They're all friends now. Oh, their friends are still also a friend request,

00:22:35.080 --> 00:22:36.100
friends, and now we're all friends.

00:22:36.220 --> 00:22:39.000
And then at some point, and here's a true story. This is actually with a boy.

00:22:39.100 --> 00:22:42.900
This happened to a boy because they can really target boys with cute girls.

00:22:43.340 --> 00:22:47.080
This is a true story. And this young boy started sending pictures to this young

00:22:47.080 --> 00:22:50.240
girl and they were having a relationship. They'd never met in person.

00:22:50.640 --> 00:22:53.440
They're having this really amazing relationship and they started friending her

00:22:53.440 --> 00:22:56.440
for the friends of this boy and parents and then at one point he said.

00:22:57.052 --> 00:23:01.772
All right, I am not a 14-year-old girl, and I'm friends with all your friends

00:23:01.772 --> 00:23:05.732
and your family, and I have all these pictures, and you need to wire me $10,000

00:23:05.732 --> 00:23:10.592
to Nigeria tonight, or I'm going to expose all of these to everybody that you know.

00:23:10.912 --> 00:23:13.592
And he was so afraid, and you're going to see some stats up here,

00:23:13.752 --> 00:23:16.852
he was so afraid to tell his parents that he committed suicide.

00:23:17.412 --> 00:23:19.832
And that's a true story. You can find that one online too.

00:23:20.432 --> 00:23:23.152
So when I talk about exploitation, you're now

00:23:23.152 --> 00:23:26.112
talking about a whole nother area where it's

00:23:26.112 --> 00:23:29.292
actually happening all electronically right so

00:23:29.292 --> 00:23:32.072
those people never met right and those pictures that

00:23:32.072 --> 00:23:36.792
are being bought and sold and traded like baseball cards is all happening online

00:23:36.792 --> 00:23:40.652
right then you're talking about sexual assault which we know is happening physically

00:23:40.652 --> 00:23:47.152
maybe it's in the home or or within the family schools whatever it may be A

00:23:47.152 --> 00:23:49.792
lot of times, parents, I hate to say it.

00:23:50.632 --> 00:23:54.332
It's just the truth and the reality. It happened to me.

00:23:54.672 --> 00:23:58.752
Your kid goes to stay at their friend's house and an older sibling is the one

00:23:58.752 --> 00:24:00.252
who ends up abusing your child.

00:24:00.952 --> 00:24:05.992
And it's unfortunate that that's just the case, but that's where you probably

00:24:05.992 --> 00:24:08.912
are most likely getting the one in three girls abused before 18.

00:24:09.412 --> 00:24:15.052
So you just got to be careful. And it's not even that you don't trust the parents and their friends.

00:24:15.472 --> 00:24:18.272
It's mostly going to be the siblings.

00:24:18.932 --> 00:24:21.692
Could potentially be the stepdad or the dad as well.

00:24:22.032 --> 00:24:26.372
But it's for sure you're going to see a lot of sexual assault and abuse happen

00:24:26.372 --> 00:24:28.792
from an older sibling, unfortunately.

00:24:29.172 --> 00:24:33.332
So just be cautious of that. A couple more stats here. Like I said,

00:24:33.452 --> 00:24:35.792
75% of them don't even tell the parents.

00:24:36.752 --> 00:24:41.672
90% of parents, they never even know. That's a huge issue.

00:24:42.012 --> 00:24:46.172
Parents have to know what their kids are doing online. They're spending so much

00:24:46.172 --> 00:24:48.832
time there. Again, they're not on the playground anymore.

00:24:49.012 --> 00:24:51.252
Their playgrounds are video games, which is another avenue.

00:24:51.532 --> 00:24:54.852
And they'll get them from the playground or from the gaming systems.

00:24:55.012 --> 00:24:58.452
And they start talking to them and they tell them to move to this other site

00:24:58.452 --> 00:25:01.612
off because those gaming systems actually we did i've

00:25:01.612 --> 00:25:04.772
met with xbox they have an incredible they have 550 employees that

00:25:04.772 --> 00:25:08.132
are just focused on security online security so

00:25:08.132 --> 00:25:11.172
they are and they have reports and they do send them to police and police act on

00:25:11.172 --> 00:25:15.072
those so they try to get them off of there so make sure your kids are aware

00:25:15.072 --> 00:25:17.712
if there's somebody on the gaming system and they're trying to get you onto

00:25:17.712 --> 00:25:22.192
a different chat platform first red flag don't go to the other platform because

00:25:22.192 --> 00:25:26.812
the prop they're taking you to a platform that is not being monitored xbox is

00:25:26.812 --> 00:25:30.732
probably the most that I know of, and we met with others as well,

00:25:30.812 --> 00:25:35.112
but I do talk about them because they do have by far the best protection for your children.

00:25:35.332 --> 00:25:40.172
And the CEO actually said, we've created this device. It's our duty to protect

00:25:40.172 --> 00:25:42.072
our children from the device that we created.

00:25:42.252 --> 00:25:44.892
So they do have a robust security team.

00:25:45.272 --> 00:25:48.652
But I would just say, make sure your kids know to never leave that chat and

00:25:48.652 --> 00:25:53.052
go to another thing because now they can do whatever they want and no one's going to monitor them.

00:25:54.181 --> 00:26:01.261
14% of those kids meet with the Predator online. 75% of them did it more than once. That's insane.

00:26:02.121 --> 00:26:05.261
Strangers. They're meeting with strangers. Now you can go to the next slide, please.

00:26:06.081 --> 00:26:11.421
So the $150 billion industry, I actually heard recently is much more than that,

00:26:11.541 --> 00:26:14.141
which I know because the stats been going around for so many years.

00:26:14.961 --> 00:26:19.981
$236 billion. And then I've heard NASDAQ apparently say there's over $300 billion.

00:26:20.141 --> 00:26:25.361
But with $150 billion, you can buy every football team, NFL football team,

00:26:25.541 --> 00:26:29.241
every Starbucks franchise put every child in the United States through four

00:26:29.241 --> 00:26:31.421
years of college. That's how much money you're dealing with in a year.

00:26:31.701 --> 00:26:35.221
Why is it so prevalent? Because you got to imagine this.

00:26:35.581 --> 00:26:40.421
If I'm a drug dealer and I have to go buy cocaine, and then I got to split that

00:26:40.421 --> 00:26:42.321
up and I got to sell it to a bunch of different people.

00:26:42.561 --> 00:26:45.761
And then I got to take that money and I got to reinvest it into cocaine.

00:26:45.821 --> 00:26:50.641
And then I got to go out and now I'm taking all these risks of reinvesting and investing.

00:26:50.901 --> 00:26:56.561
Well, when you own a child can make you $200,000 on average a year, one child.

00:26:56.781 --> 00:27:01.881
So they can take that child that they've stolen or purchased and make 100% return

00:27:01.881 --> 00:27:08.081
on investment all day, every day, and never ever reinvest into a product.

00:27:08.261 --> 00:27:09.521
Go to the next slide, please.

00:27:10.461 --> 00:27:14.121
So what are we helping with? We're helping people identify what's going on.

00:27:14.361 --> 00:27:18.361
We're trying to educate people. And then the training, what's really important about what we do.

00:27:18.521 --> 00:27:22.881
So we're the bridge between the people and the police.

00:27:23.041 --> 00:27:28.261
The police are so massively underfunded and what's going on right now in our

00:27:28.261 --> 00:27:30.281
administration will not get funding anytime soon.

00:27:30.621 --> 00:27:34.301
They've been, I'm not going to get into all of it, but you all know what's been

00:27:34.301 --> 00:27:37.581
going on with police for the last several years, not just defunding,

00:27:37.681 --> 00:27:39.341
but how they're being treated and talked about.

00:27:39.701 --> 00:27:43.401
And I will say that I work with officers who are the guardian angels of these

00:27:43.401 --> 00:27:46.041
children, protecting them from predators and hunting predators that are going

00:27:46.041 --> 00:27:46.721
to take their innocence.

00:27:47.001 --> 00:27:49.381
So I think we need to change that a little bit.

00:27:50.001 --> 00:27:53.721
Training for our office. So we're the bridge, as I was saying,

00:27:53.841 --> 00:27:54.901
between the people and the police.

00:27:55.081 --> 00:27:58.841
We're allowing you to fund your local police through the grants that we provide

00:27:58.841 --> 00:28:03.761
to give them free training and education and all the equipment that they need

00:28:03.761 --> 00:28:08.241
to do all these investigations online because they don't even know where to start, a lot of them.

00:28:08.721 --> 00:28:12.281
And they don't have the resources to send five of their investigators on an

00:28:12.281 --> 00:28:15.681
airplane in a hotel for a week to a conference that they have to pay for that

00:28:15.681 --> 00:28:21.781
conference where we have video training first and then we fly in and we do on hands-on.

00:28:21.901 --> 00:28:25.261
We bring the equipment, we set them all up. We start doing live operations.

00:28:25.621 --> 00:28:27.981
We do live conversations and

00:28:27.981 --> 00:28:30.721
kind of walk them through so they don't do entrapment and all that stuff.

00:28:30.861 --> 00:28:34.401
And then eventually we're helping them write the arrest warrants and getting

00:28:34.401 --> 00:28:36.801
the probable cause that they need to go make arrests.

00:28:36.881 --> 00:28:39.561
And then we're going out and we're actually going out and arresting people at

00:28:39.561 --> 00:28:40.341
the end of their training.

00:28:40.681 --> 00:28:42.961
That's a lot of what we do. You could go to the next slide, please.

00:28:43.481 --> 00:28:46.681
I know I got one minute left I'm so sorry I don't hear the music yet though.

00:28:48.470 --> 00:28:51.190
Next slide please that's kind

00:28:51.190 --> 00:28:53.910
of what we talked about we do the hands-on training we provide them

00:28:53.910 --> 00:28:57.030
with digital equipment and forensics to extract one thing

00:28:57.030 --> 00:29:00.290
i have to talk about because i know you guys are going to love this esd

00:29:00.290 --> 00:29:05.530
electronic storage device canines you can get them for your department electronic

00:29:05.530 --> 00:29:09.530
storage devices are electronic storage it could be as small as your fingernail

00:29:09.530 --> 00:29:13.730
the micro sd cards or thumb drives cell phones hard drives all that stuff has

00:29:13.730 --> 00:29:18.070
a component on them that these dogs can smell out. Why is it important to find those?

00:29:18.210 --> 00:29:21.930
Because they're housing tens of thousands of images of children.

00:29:22.150 --> 00:29:27.410
We call it CSAM, child sexual abuse material. I call it child sexual assault material.

00:29:27.710 --> 00:29:32.210
The more evidence we can find, the bigger sentence they're going to get.

00:29:32.370 --> 00:29:38.330
But inside those devices, we can also find more predators that network that they're running with.

00:29:38.390 --> 00:29:41.810
We can find more victims that they've been chatting with and paying sex for.

00:29:42.170 --> 00:29:46.830
So those devices are so important. 75% of that evidence is missed by man.

00:29:46.950 --> 00:29:51.130
So the dogs can go in there and find those in lampshades, light sockets, all over.

00:29:51.230 --> 00:29:53.450
So that's one of the things. And then the last one I think is really important

00:29:53.450 --> 00:29:56.490
is that we provide mental health therapy for law enforcement.

00:29:56.710 --> 00:29:58.650
This is the most horrendous crime.

00:29:58.930 --> 00:30:02.050
It is insane. The stories that I don't want to ruin your life with,

00:30:02.070 --> 00:30:06.190
we have to see, hear, and deal with and see pictures of all the time.

00:30:06.190 --> 00:30:09.450
It'll ruin marriages it'll ruin relationships

00:30:09.450 --> 00:30:12.670
with children it will make you live in hate and

00:30:12.670 --> 00:30:15.950
anger if you don't deal with it and we have

00:30:15.950 --> 00:30:18.690
to support our law enforcement that way because you talk

00:30:18.690 --> 00:30:22.790
about ptsd you're not just selling drugs to a criminal who's gonna who's choosing

00:30:22.790 --> 00:30:25.850
to do that you're dealing with criminals who are doing horrible things to innocent

00:30:25.850 --> 00:30:29.770
children so we need to help fund our police and get them the mental health that

00:30:29.770 --> 00:30:33.570
they need scan the qr code we're going to help support law enforcement we're

00:30:33.570 --> 00:30:36.450
here to serve communities through law enforcement Thank you so much.

00:30:37.370 --> 00:30:41.370
Well, a big shout out to Nate Lewis for coming to the Save Our Children conference.

00:30:41.630 --> 00:30:45.810
Of course, because of how many speakers wanted to come, many of our speakers

00:30:45.810 --> 00:30:47.370
didn't quite have enough time.

00:30:47.610 --> 00:30:50.730
And Nate was someone I had a lot of questions I'd like to ask.

00:30:50.850 --> 00:30:54.990
So what I want to share with you is the information I gleaned from our conversations.

00:30:55.290 --> 00:31:00.970
Of course, of all of our speakers, I can truly say that what Nate had to say was the most shocking.

00:31:01.290 --> 00:31:04.750
So one of the first things I learned was that they recently changed their name

00:31:04.750 --> 00:31:08.370
to the The Innocent, which Nate was excited about when it became available.

00:31:08.470 --> 00:31:12.550
So don't forget to look them up on the web at theinnocent.org.

00:31:13.050 --> 00:31:17.630
While hearing details about the dark web was scary, I have to say that some

00:31:17.630 --> 00:31:21.190
of the mainstream social media sites were even more concerning.

00:31:21.570 --> 00:31:27.410
Indeed, media platforms like Snapchat, TikTok, YouTube, and Facebook have reported

00:31:27.410 --> 00:31:33.050
significant spikes in the removal of child sexual abuse content in recent years.

00:31:33.050 --> 00:31:39.930
In 2020, over 21.7 million reports of suspected child molestation were made,

00:31:40.130 --> 00:31:43.510
marking the highest number ever recorded in a single year,

00:31:43.870 --> 00:31:49.470
especially when you consider that right now, 93% of teens are on social media.

00:31:49.470 --> 00:31:54.330
Of course, the danger is for everyone, but especially for women and young girls

00:31:54.330 --> 00:31:56.870
because predators frequently target them.

00:31:57.530 --> 00:32:02.030
Spamming is nothing new, but the platforms have changed because children play

00:32:02.030 --> 00:32:04.930
in the digital world for up to nine hours a day.

00:32:05.110 --> 00:32:09.490
That's why we must exercise caution when sharing information online.

00:32:10.130 --> 00:32:14.830
Unfortunately, online predators are looking for personal information from your

00:32:14.830 --> 00:32:19.670
online presence so that they can identify, groom, and exploit your children.

00:32:20.030 --> 00:32:24.750
Your innocent social media photos can be repurposed for consumption on the dark

00:32:24.750 --> 00:32:29.670
web, so we need to be constantly monitoring our children's online activities.

00:32:29.670 --> 00:32:34.670
For example, we recommend setting social media profiles to private,

00:32:34.990 --> 00:32:37.730
routinely review follower and friend lists,

00:32:38.290 --> 00:32:43.650
exclude identifying information in posts and bios, don't share locations,

00:32:43.950 --> 00:32:46.510
schools, and frequent hangouts, etc.

00:32:46.790 --> 00:32:50.490
And consider removing all of your images of your children online.

00:32:50.490 --> 00:32:56.690
Some additional safeguards are using watermarked images, screenshot images before

00:32:56.690 --> 00:33:03.770
posting them to remove metadata, and limit visibility of posts to friends and vetted followers only.

00:33:03.770 --> 00:33:08.510
If this sounds a little overwhelming, there's some online apps that could also

00:33:08.510 --> 00:33:10.110
help to limit our exposure.

00:33:10.930 --> 00:33:15.050
The BART Parental Monitoring app scans your child's text messages,

00:33:15.610 --> 00:33:21.870
images, 30-plus social media apps, web browsers, emails, and other online activity

00:33:21.870 --> 00:33:24.350
while respecting your child's privacy.

00:33:24.610 --> 00:33:29.390
BART will only alert you concerning questionable dialogue, internet searches,

00:33:29.470 --> 00:33:34.050
or other activities so that you can take the necessary action to protect your children.

00:33:34.630 --> 00:33:39.150
I can tell you as a parent, I have spent more than 20 plus hours trying to figure

00:33:39.150 --> 00:33:43.370
out how to keep my children safe from porn on their cell phones and computers.

00:33:43.610 --> 00:33:48.410
It's like a horrible, frustrating science project that you thought someone had

00:33:48.410 --> 00:33:50.530
already figured out, but didn't.

00:33:50.670 --> 00:33:53.390
The good news is that there are many products out there.

00:33:53.650 --> 00:33:55.750
I chose Canopy because it was one

00:33:55.750 --> 00:34:00.230
application that could police all of my devices, and it works quite well.

00:34:00.230 --> 00:34:06.090
My question is, why are children being handed all these devices that automatically

00:34:06.090 --> 00:34:11.530
take them to such places when virtually every website verifies someone's age?

00:34:12.259 --> 00:34:18.899
Unsupervised and unlocked devices are how deviant sexualization is being pushed on a new generation.

00:34:19.339 --> 00:34:24.639
Indeed, an innocent search can be used to push the most graphic content right up front.

00:34:24.699 --> 00:34:28.679
But that's where we as parents come in to educate our children.

00:34:28.939 --> 00:34:30.999
Here's a list of some helpful websites.

00:34:31.259 --> 00:34:37.319
They include CyberWise, The Bark Blog, Safer Kid, Child Mind Institute,

00:34:37.939 --> 00:34:40.179
Get Smarts, and Common Sense Media.

00:34:40.179 --> 00:34:45.379
Of course, I loved how Nate pointed out that prioritizing our relationship with

00:34:45.379 --> 00:34:51.279
our children is the only way to increase our believability and to be heard on some of these issues.

00:34:52.159 --> 00:34:56.219
Nate also mentioned some additional resources for how we could protect children,

00:34:56.399 --> 00:35:00.559
and they include the National Association of Adult Survivors of Child Abuse,

00:35:00.779 --> 00:35:04.419
the Advocacy Center, the National Sex Offenders Registry,

00:35:04.759 --> 00:35:10.119
the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, the Internet Watch Foundation, and the U.S.

00:35:10.539 --> 00:35:14.839
Department of Justice. But the most important question I asked Nate Lewis was

00:35:14.839 --> 00:35:19.039
how we could get his system to find sexual predators in our neighborhoods.

00:35:19.749 --> 00:35:24.489
I was blown away to realize that in 24 hours, they could make a case against

00:35:24.489 --> 00:35:30.009
40-plus men trying to solicit a minor in the small town of Plant City, Florida.

00:35:30.489 --> 00:35:36.309
Larger cities like Tampa could have been anywhere between 250 to over 1,000.

00:35:36.449 --> 00:35:40.089
Yet of all the issues we talked about at the Save Our Children conference,

00:35:40.389 --> 00:35:45.809
more people attended our breakout session on stopping sex trafficking than any

00:35:45.809 --> 00:35:50.409
other topic. So please be sure to look for our release of that session shortly.

00:35:51.109 --> 00:35:56.389
Unfortunately, most of us have no idea what we can do to stop sex trafficking

00:35:56.389 --> 00:35:58.789
and the sexual predation of our children.

00:35:58.949 --> 00:36:03.549
But thankfully, the Innocent.org's basic system, which includes hardware.

00:36:04.069 --> 00:36:08.369
Software, and training, can be purchased for as little as $15,000.

00:36:08.869 --> 00:36:12.869
You also don't have to worry about trying to develop a relationship between

00:36:12.869 --> 00:36:16.309
your local police departments because they will help you with that as well.

00:36:16.429 --> 00:36:21.449
In our case, after we contacted Nate, he was able to start a fundraising campaign

00:36:21.449 --> 00:36:24.809
and give us a QR code specific to our area.

00:36:24.989 --> 00:36:29.109
So if you would like to support our alliances initiative to give this fantastic

00:36:29.109 --> 00:36:33.569
system to the police departments in the Tampa Bay area, just use the QR code

00:36:33.569 --> 00:36:35.929
on the screen where you can donate discreetly.

00:36:35.929 --> 00:36:40.929
Not only does TheInnocent.org have the technology to police the dark web,

00:36:41.149 --> 00:36:45.869
but it also has the training necessary to help local law enforcement agencies

00:36:45.869 --> 00:36:49.229
identify these predators and put them behind bars.

00:36:49.509 --> 00:36:53.829
If you would like to support or contact TheInnocent.org and help them carry

00:36:53.829 --> 00:36:59.329
out their mission, please contact their team at hello at TheInnocent.org or

00:36:59.329 --> 00:37:03.189
visit their website, www.TheInnocent.org.

00:37:03.189 --> 00:37:06.669
My final thoughts about this are very straightforward.

00:37:07.169 --> 00:37:10.889
When Jesus began what is now known as the Lord's Prayer, he said,

00:37:11.149 --> 00:37:14.669
Our Father, and God is a perfect Father.

00:37:14.929 --> 00:37:20.509
And that is why he wants to return the hearts of the fathers back to the children.

00:37:20.689 --> 00:37:24.409
But now comes the truth. When I share these things with people,

00:37:24.649 --> 00:37:29.129
they give me a lot of advice about what I should do and who I should talk to.

00:37:29.669 --> 00:37:33.829
But I'm waiting for those of us who have the heart of the Father to see the

00:37:33.829 --> 00:37:38.649
plight of our children and simply say, Here I am, Lord. Send me.

00:37:38.989 --> 00:37:43.729
And that's why I'm praying that God will wake up our hearts and stir us to get

00:37:43.729 --> 00:37:46.349
personally involved in saving our children.

00:37:46.589 --> 00:37:49.649
Of course, shortly we will share some of the breakout sessions,

00:37:49.829 --> 00:37:54.369
including the one about sex trafficking, so you can also understand some of

00:37:54.369 --> 00:37:57.669
the best action plans available by different organizations.

00:37:57.669 --> 00:38:02.609
Of course, as always, I pray that you will consider helping us purchase the

00:38:02.609 --> 00:38:05.909
Innocent.org system for every county in America.

00:38:06.309 --> 00:38:11.749
Lastly, may God bless you and guide you as we come together to save our children.
