Teen Sex Slaves
Mothers and fathers do you know where your daughters are? Who they are with? What they are doing? I think that every parents greatest fear is to have their child abducted, it certainly is mine. After viewing a special tonight on MSNBC, "Sex slaves: The Teen Trade" I am compelled to make others aware of this epidemic in America. Sex slavery of teenage girls does not only happen in poverty stricken areas, it is happening in suburbs all over the United States to girls of any financial bracket. An interview with Theresa Flores and Assistant U.S. Attorney Erica McDonald by Amy Robach of MSNBC on Friday morning brings to light the direness of this situation. These predators of young women use physical and psychologically torture to get them to submit their bodies to unspeakable acts. In this day and age with the Internet so readily accessible by all, these predators are having a field day. Teenage girls are less inhibited with their bodies and probably do not realize just what kind of monsters are lurking around the next corner or chat room and how easy it is to be manipulated by a male just because we enjoy being noticed. I speak from experience on this subject as I was a victim of rape the first four times I experienced sex, once by an unknown male and three times by men that I did know and went on dates with. This threat is very real and if not talked about will lead to more cases of sex slavery.

Personally, I have no comment on the teen sex slave issue other than that i know it exists. But I am the father of two girls and recently have had to take on the responsibility of the guardianship of a teenage girl as well. The fears and dangers of sexual predators is almost unbearable and overwhelming. With the fact that young girls do expose themselves very openly today as compared to say, ten years ago, is just beyond what I can grasp. I go crazy trying to keep a watchful eye on them. The way that teenage girls dress nowadays and openly flirt is one of the reasons why I am so attentive to my daughters. I know what used to race through my mind when I laid my eyes on an attractive girl when I was that age, but now that I am a father, I understand what went through those girls fathers minds and why they were so attentive to their daughters. Sexual Predators are a very real threat out there. I have even dated women who were once sexually abused and seen first hand the emotional damage that it has caused them, even years after it had happened to them. The way that I was raised was to show the utmost respect to a woman and her body, if only others were able to feel and act the same way, maybe the world would be that much better and safer a place to live.
