>>JENNIFER WAUGH: WOULD YOU
PLEASE EXPLAIN WHAT HAPPENED HE
WAS A CHILD IN YOUR COMFORT
ZONE.
>> 8 YEARS OLD TO BE
I WAS LIKE A HOUSE LEAVE IN MY
OWN MOTHER’S HOUSE.
I HAD TO TAKE CARE OF 7
SIBLINGS. BUT AT 11 YEARS OLD
SHE BOUGHT A HOUSE
WAS UNABLE TO MAKE PAYMENT AND
I WAS GIVEN TO THE MAN
TO HAVE 6 RIGHT AND THIS
HAPPENS FOR 3 YEARS IN MY OWN
MOM HOME.
>>JENNIFER WAUGH: WE HEARD FROM SHERIFF WILLIAMS AND MELISSA NELSON
ON WEDNESDAY ABOUT WARNING
SIGNS AND ABOUT THOSE WHO ARE
MOST
AT RISK. YOU’VE STARTED A
NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION TO HELP
BRING AWARENESS TO HUMAN
TRAFFICKING AS A RESULT OF WHAT
HAPPENED TO YOU IN HERE ARE A
FEW AREAS WORKING WITH VICTIMS
WHICH YOU SHARE BECAUSE MANY
OF THEM ARE IN A POSITION WHERE
THEY COULD REACH OUT TO
SOME WILL FOR HELP BUT THEY’RE
SO AFRAID TO COULD YOU EXPLAIN
THE SORT OF MIND CONTROL MANY
OF THEM ARE UNDER.
>> THIS IS A SHAME.
NOT HAVING A FAMILY MEMBER WITH
THEM. WHAT THESE PREDICATE
DOES IT. AND I’M SPEAKING FROM PERSON EXPERIENCE IS LIKE YOU FEEL LESS THAN SO YOU DON’T
FEEL LIKE YOU’RE A HUMAN BEING
YOU DON’T FEEL LIKE YOU’RE IN
CONTROL OF YOURSELF, SO YOU
RELY ON THESE SO-CALLED PEOPLE
YOU ARE NOT.
I WOULD SAY THEY HAVE NO
GOOD INTENTIONS. BUT THEY COME
ACROSS EVEN FOR MY MOM BECAUSE
SHE WAS SOMEBODY WAS SUPPOSED
TO PROTECT ME.
THESE GIRLS WHAT THESE
PREDATORS JOE’S THE TRAFFIC IS
THE COME ACROSS AS A LOVING
BOYFRIEND.
IF A TALL THE PARENTS ARE NOT
ABLE TO SUPPORT THE CHILDREN
WITH CERTAIN THINGS WHETHER IT
BE CLOTHING WHETHER IT BE THEIR
8 NEEDS DONE.
WHATEVER THE PARENTS WOULD NOT
GIVE TO THESE CHILDREN.
THESE PREDATORS ALL FOR THAT.
SO THE KID THAT THE CHILDREN
WOULD TRUST THEM. AND THAT’S
WHEN THEY GET TRAPPED THERE.
AFTER ALL WHY THEY LET HIM KNOW
THAT YOU OWE ME BECAUSE I’VE
GIVEN YOU THIS SO NO YOU HAVE
TO PAY ME BACK BY HAVING WITH
SOMEBODY ELSE.
AND SO THAT CHILDREN ARE FEEL
OBLIGATED TO DO WHAT THE
PREDATORS ARE ASKING THEM TO DO
OUTSIDE OF THAT THEY WILL TREAT
AND YOUR FAMILY MEMBER.
THEY GET INFORMATION FROM
WHERE THEY BEAT YOUR FRIENDS OR
OTHER PEOPLE THAT KNOW THEM.
THEY SOMETIMES TRAIL THEN TOUGH
FIND OUT WHERE THE PARENTS WORK
AND THEY USE THESE THINGS AT
THE CHILDREN THEY WOULD SEE
IF YOU DON’T DO SO AND SO I’M
GOING TO HURT YOUR FAMILY
MEMBER. WHEN EARTH IF YOU HAVE
A PET. THAT’S SO DEVIOUS.
THEY ARE THEY WILL TRY TO HURT
THAT PAGE BECAUSE THAT I LOVE
THAT SO MUCH AND THESE ARE
THESE ARE FRUGAL AND THEN YOUNG
GIRLS, SOME OF THEM RUNAWAYS

QUESTIONS THAT’S RIGHT THERE.

MIGHT
BE HAPPENING.
