Encore THE ROLE SCHOOL ADMINISTRATORS AND TEACHERS CAN PLAY IN COMBATING SEX TRAFFICKING AND SOCIAL MEDIA

12/17/2020
The grooming and recruitment of teens in sex crimes often takes place in a school setting. Sometimes a student's behavior changes. They start to dress provocatively, or leave school early. Sometimes they are regularly sleepy or hungry. A younger girl may suddenly have a new older boyfriend and seems to be controlled or dominated by him. In 60% of sex trafficking cases the younger girl is recruited by another girl and they all start missing school. Over 9000 kids a day in the US are being blackmailed because they sent a naked or sexual photo to someone they want to care about them. This often shows up as a change in behavior as the victim is trapped and being threatened. More than 50% will meet with their perpetrator before they will tell a parent. They may start cutting, or become emotionally withdrawn or volatile. Some may consider suicide. The signs a student is a victim of exploitation can be recognized if adults are educated on what to look for. This week join us..

Encore WHERE DO NAKED PHOTOS GO WHEN YOU HIT “SEND”?

11/26/2020
The Center for Disease Control has estimated that 18,000 kids a day will send a naked photo online. And that was before social distancing and Covid isolation and online learning. Have you ever thought about where naked photos “go” when you hit “send” This week we are going to talk about the global phenomena of sexting and sending illicit videos and photos and the psychological impact they have on the sender. Certainly, there is the obvious, you can be blackmailed, bullied, and sexually exploited but what about the long term effects of not knowing who has seen them, and how it will affect your self-image and future romantic and family relationships? A simple act of making a bad decision when hormones rage can change your life forever. That is true if you are 15 or 65.

Special Guest - DA:NCE - Dance Awareness - No Child Exploited

11/19/2020
This week we have a very special guest, Mary Bawden, with Dance Awareness- No Child Exploited. This organization has been a powerful catalyst in teaching young people, especially at risk youth, the power behind DANCE. Mary has years of experiencing dancing herself and has conducted thousands of hours of research on the impact positive dance can make on an at risk teenager. When a young person learns graceful and energetic dance it has a significant impact on their self esteem, exploring their identity and helps them feel free and included. Dance provides both guys and girls a way to connect with their inner feelings as well as empowers them to release negative feelings. Join us for an informative and upbeat interview with Mary Bowden. Very quickly you will be a fan as you realize that a simple act of DANCE can change even the most difficult child.

CHARACTER – THE WEAPON AGAINST GROOMING

11/5/2020
Parents often ask me what they can do to make certain their child is not a victim of sexual exploitation whether it is sextortion, social media exploitation or sex trafficking. The answer may surprise you. I believe character is the single biggest element in teaching your child to stand against predators, pimps, pedophiles, gangs, and organized crime. Don’t get me wrong. That is not to suggest victims of exploitation did not have character. But over the years we have learned that there are two critical factors in how predators identify and seduce their victims. The most common grooming tool is to look for their weaknesses and exploit it. Usually it is a desire to be loved, admired, included and cherished. They seek out young people on dating sites and live streaming apps that may be looking for excitement, adventure, affection or hookups. They also are looking for people (of any age) that are willing to take a short cut to earn easy money.

CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 20 WHAT DOES IT MEAN FOR SEX OFFENSE CRIME

10/29/2020
In 2016, California voters passed Proposition 57 which stated that non-violent offenders could be considered for early release from prison with the idea of helping relieve the over crowding of California prisons and assist rehabilitated prisoners to leave incarceration and begin a new life. The challenge was that no one defined what a non violent offense was . It turns out that there are only a few crimes in the California Penal Code that are considered violent. Sex with a minor, sex with a dead person, sex trafficking of a minor or assault on a law enforcement officer were not considered violent. Proposition 20 is designed to improve on that situation. While not a perfect solution it does redefine 51 crimes under the California Penal Code as being considered Violent and providing Judges the opportunity to deny early parole. Sex Trafficking of a minor is one of those crimes. This weeks show we will discuss the background behind California Proposition 57 and why Prop

Encore THE IMPACT OF DEFUNDING LAW ENFORCEMENT ON CRIMES OF SEXUAL EXPLOITATION

10/15/2020
There is a movement across the U.S. to defund law enforcement agencies. Additionally, with Covid 19 crisis many prisons and jails are letting prisoners out early. On this week’s show we will look at the impact of decreasing investigation and policing budgets will have on crimes of sexual exploitation. Sex Trafficking crimes are complex and often multi- jurisdictional. These crimes often take months even years to break especially if the crime involves large scale sex trafficking rings Victim’s are moved from community to community and many city police agencies will participate in locating and rescuing a victim and then prosecuting the perpetrator. For many sex offenders who were sent to prison, there are one or more witnesses who risk everything to ensure the pimp or predator is incarcerated so they cannot harm another person again. Understanding that we are in an historical era of global pandemic and social unrest, it is critical that we stop and consider the long term impact on victim

Encore Self-Worth, Likes, and Mass-Audience Live Streaming

9/24/2020
Instant messaging apps, mass-audience live streaming and online video game chat rooms all open the door to relationships with people we have never met and, in most cases, will never meet. With the newer technologies, many of our kids will have over 100,000 followers and their short video clips may receive over a million likes. The competition on Tik Tok and Likee is enormous. To go viral, a 15 second video producer must become more and more extreme in their content. And, one young girl told me recently that if you don’t send a naked photo to a guy before the date, the guy won’t go out with you. Is that what our kids need to do to be popular? These SuperBowl half-tme show “role models” have set the criteria for what is acceptable. Where do we go from here?

TSUNAMI OF SHAME

9/17/2020
This week we examine the phenomena of the Cuties movie that portrays eleven year old girls emulating sex acts to music. We explore the impact on our kids and our society of prepubescent children emulating adult sex acts while on the world wide web. We discuss the issue of our kids being exposed to adult sexual relations before they even understand adult sex and the impact of shame based sexual encounters with adult perpetrators. We discuss how sex without context, sex without morals, sex with intimacy will form life time feelings about future sexual relationships. Most important we talk about what parents and community leaders can do to counter this hyper-sexualization of our young children.

WHEN CHARACTER MATTERS

8/20/2020
These are hard times. No other way to say it. Searing Heat, social distancing, a pandemic of deaths and illness, unemployment, and first graders preparing to “go to school” online. If there was ever a time when we all needed the strength of strong character it is now. The difference between being a victim online and being a warrior is knowing who you are and what you believe. We are entering a truly historic time when our very youngest children will be on the “World wide Web” using technology that accesses millions of people, and they will be exposed to more sexual promiscuity and animated pornography than any generation before them. Our kids are givers and they want to please. Pedophiles prey on a child’s need for love and approval and the need to be recognized. Easy money schemes and having the most “likes” can be very costly. Teaching a child that every time they do what is right instead of what is easy is the most important guidance a parent or grandparent can provide

THE TERRIFYING POWER OF FANTASY RELATIONSHIPS ONLINE

8/13/2020
All a parent has to do is read this article and suddenly the thought of having millions of kids online this fall without supervision, bored and with time on their hands, becomes a reality. And we realize our world is about to change. “34 Central Valley Men arrested for trying to meet children for sex, Fresno Co Sheriff Says”……. August 7, 2020 This week the Fresno County Sheriff conducted multiple undercover stings where they used a variety of apps and posed as children ages 12 and 13 years old. In a less than one week 34 men had conversations with the “minors” and arranged a meet up for sex where they were met by law enforcement and arrested.

How Groups Can Combat Sex Trafficking and Social Media Exploitatation During the Pandemic

8/6/2020
Most of us are aware that sex trafficking and social media exploitation of our teenagers is a very real thing. Many faith-based leaders are telling me their resources are limited but still, they want to do what they can to protect and inform their families. It appears that most teens and even young children will be spending a vast amount of time online with distance learning this fall. Even first graders are being prepared for online learning. Parents, teachers, and pastors are concerned about how to keep their young kids safe from predators. This show will focus on how churches, synagogues, and civic groups can create practical programs that will address issues related to sex trafficking and social media exploitation. Sex trafficking can be a dangerous and violent crime. It is important to know how to recognize it and report it but not get involved. Learn how to encourage your teens to become leaders to use technology in a way that glorifies God and honors themselves and others.

NO WHERE TO HIDE!

All app companies, chatrooms and yes, even online gaming companies have total access to your soul. Well darn near! Most app companies never charge you to use their services, so have you ever wondered how some of them are worth nearly a trillion dollars? Forget the crazy protests and social isolation and the fact that the grocery store will not take your coins, your life is being turned over to phantom influencers and most of us are oblivious. Today there is a global race to dominate the real time sale of your most private information including your bathroom habits, sexual preferences, allergies to chocolate or whether you prefer boxers or briefs. The same is true for your child. What happens if that company is a Chinese company instead of a US Company. What happens when there are no more dollar bills and the only way to purchase something is to reveal your political persuasions, your spiritual beliefs, your most intimate physical issues and sexual preferences.

THE MANY FACES OF PIMPING

7/23/2020
Pimping is not about sex. It is about power and control and money. It permeates every level of our society. From high rollers like Epstein to common street pimps, the end goal is the same. The exploitation of another human being for personal gain. It is believed that in sex trafficking cases, at least 60% of victims are recruited by another female. During this weeks show we will examine the full spectrum of pimping techniques: CEO, Gorilla, Romeo, Madams, Bottom Girl, Familial, Gang, and Foreign National recruiters. We will look at recruiting and grooming, sex buying and sex selling. And how to keep your child safe from a smooth talking exploiter.

GRATITUDE

7/9/2020
Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos into order, confusion into clarity. – Melody Beattie We are living in a time of adversity. We are faced with daily challenges that most of us have never experienced. For many of us, our lives feel overwhelmingly beyond our control. And they are. Government agencies we have never heard of now tell us when we can work, when our kids can go to school and whether or not we can eat out. Family gatherings have changed or stopped completely. There are protests and riots in the streets and almost daily we hear of law enforcement agencies being defunded. Many of us are faced with financial hardships that seem almost impossible to conceive only four months ago. The chaos causes us to stop and reflect. For Million Kids we are grateful that even though we are challenged we will be OK. We will survive somehow thanks to the generosity of our supporters. In this week’
