ASSOCIATION FOR THE RECOVERY OF CHILDREN (ARC)

NEW CASE: Southern California child sex trafficking ring

ARC is beginning a detailed investigation into a gang-controlled child sex trafficking ring in Southern California.  (Alias) “Moana” was  trafficked throughout her childhood child by this ring and I have  assisted her for the past few months since she was arrested, and since  released, for assaulting one of the traffickers. Police officers did not recognize that she was a trafficking victim and are not pursuing an investigation. But Moana disclosed her situation to me/ARC in detail, and we believe her statements are authentic and verifiable. 
                       

The Investigation

Moana is committed to helping bring justice against her traffickers and helping to liberate child victims who she indicates are currently being trafficked and exploited by this ring.  She is voluntarily providing ARC with vital information including perpetrators’ names, locations, vehicles, trafficking motels, photos, criminal history and her own witness testimony to help launch the investigation.  I am in contact with the Homeland Security Human Trafficking Victim Specialist in the jurisdiction where this trafficking ring has been operating for  many years.  We expect this investigation will take several weeks since  much research must be done to authenticate and collect supporting  evidence.                                         

      

Assisting Moana

There are many risk factors for Moana.   I am continuing to provide support and advocacy, particularly in  finding safe housing and stable employment for her as well as resources  for personal recovery and mental health.

EVENTS TO SUPPORT OUR MISSION

Launch of "26 Seconds"

"26 Seconds" is a dramatic documentary episodic miniseries that peers  behind an evil shadowy curtain of this rampant global plague. It takes audiences from the neon underground in Thailand to the dusty refugee camps of Iraq; from the glitz and glam of Las Vegas to across the border in Tijuana; from the sunny streets of Southern California to the slums of New Delhi, Phnom Penh and East Africa. The 26 Seconds pilot  is currently available on the online platforms listed below. Creating  Awareness & a Call to Action in 68 English Speaking countries and  over 120 countries overall.


     Amazon Prime

     YouTube

     Google Play

     iTunes


We have created a new funding campaign to complete the 26 Seconds Feature Documentary needed more now than ever. Please help us to continue to Create Awareness and a Call to Action during this difficult time of the COVID-19 global pandemic. Traffickers still want to make their money and are sending children and young women to work on the streets and/or solicit and sell sex online to service men, who may or may not test positive for the coronavirus. This horrific reality needs to be acknowledged and we ALL need to offer resources to victims from the sex trade. We ALL have different gifts and resources and I will do my part through media with the 26 Seconds Feature Documentary. Please help raise funding to complete post-production here.



Watch Unseen in Theaters Today

Inspired by true events in Utah, Unseen is about a  teenage girl’s innocent social media mistake. Carly, 17, like most  teenagers, want to have her own money, be seen at parties, get out of  her small town and find something better, even become famous. Carly’s  way out of her current situation comes in the form of a social media  avert that she sees on her phone. An agency looking for models and  offering them a prize of $1,000. Due to some everyday white lies, Carly  puts herself in an unsafe position. Carly’s lies lead to her being  unseen, never to be seen again. The next day when family and friends  realize that no-one knows Carly’s whereabouts, it’s too late. This is  “fame lure” and can happen to any child, anywhere at any time.
