Some of this information has been published by us before, however, it needs repeated over and over so that we maximize every opportunity we have to reach as many parents and kids as possible with this hugely valuable and crucially important information.
While the Hollywood Sentinel reports ‘only the good news,’ we also believe in being realists, and confronting the greatest form of evil on the planet–child sex abuse. The GOOD news is, we can get the word out there, we can stand up to the abusers, and we can help prevent more children from falling prey to these perpetrators.
The Hollywood Sentinel’s Bruce Edwin has had the pleasure to meet both Evan Henzi and Corey Feldman as seen in the clip below. We applaud them both for their strength and bravery in coming forward to do something to help put a stop to the disgusting travesty of child sex abuse in Hollywood.
Protecting Children
We are pleased about the news of pedophile and child rapist Jared Fogle getting 15 and a half years in a federal prison. While we can think of a far more fitting justice for Fogle, at least some justice is being served. He will reportedly serve around 13 years of this sentence. Thank you to federal prosecutors who did not relent in this manner. Former Subway spokesman Fogle engaged in the statutory rape of two children, and contributed to the creation of child porn of 12 other child sex victims by drugging them and getting them drunk, and also failing to report the creation of child porn he knew about and used.
Child Trafficking Prevention
The cause of child sex trafficking prevention is slowly and gradually starting to become more newsworthy and more a cause of celebrities.
FACT: The majority of child trafficking cases are not reported, or are largely under-reported, ignored, or buried by mainstream media.
WHY?
1) Subject matter. Many are too afraid or not willing to confront what is truly the most evil, ugly subject matter on the planet.
2) Fighting trafficking is a dangerous job. Many traffickers at the top level up the chain are connected to gangs, organized crime, drug traffickers and militia groups, and yes– at times politicians, heads of state, and other top persons in positions of power and public attention. Most mainstream media are unwilling to confront top power avenues, particularly if their lives or jobs are at stake for naming names.
3) When fighters of trafficking are found out, or engage in direct confrontation, they are often met with death threats, covert attempts on their life, or armed attack. Some are murdered.
ISSUES:
Some so called independent media which advertise alcohol, pot, pills, porn, and prostitution, have the audacity to run lying articles stating that the problem of child trafficking is not as big as certain groups state. Wrong, it is BIGGER.
Super Bowl Trafficking: Sites including ‘snopes’ attempts to report that there is no significant increased incidents of child trafficking during and at cities which host the Super Bowl. Our contacts prove that so called myth de-bunking a LIE. The stats DO rise.
Many conservative laws treat pimped children as criminals. Traffickers often use this fact to scare children further into reporting them, with the kids fearing that they will be arrested for prostitution if they go to try get help or get away.
(Note: We do thank the City of Los Angeles for their recent change of laws concerning no longer treating child victims of sex abuse as criminals or prostitutes).
Stopping Child Trafficking Entails Five Main Areas:
1, Self Esteem: The more self esteem a child has, the better chance they have at not being a victim.
This entails how the media portrays women and children in the media, which play a big role in how young girls and boys view themselves and treat others. When for example, a U.S. presidential candidate repeats vulgar obscenities describing female body parts, to be used as a degrading insult to attack an opponent (language once only found in ‘R’ rated films, and when media repeats such obscenities over and over, it not only degrades culture, it lowers the value placed on women and young girls.
Teach Self Worth
Teach your child that they are valuable, and they their self worth has nothing to do with sex or their body. The self esteem of far too many women and girls, especially those in Hollywood or aspiring to ‘make it’ in Hollywood, succumb to the wrong idea that they are only valuable to the degree that they are wanted sexually or romantically by a man. This is false, and is a ploy that pedophiles often use as a tool to manipulate young women and children. Teach your children self esteem, and that they have immense value as a human being, which can not be taken away by anyone, even if they are hurt, or told otherwise. Teach your children to be strong and powerful–NOT victims.
Do NOT let your kids give out their personal info. to anyone that you do not know and trust.
2, Education: Kids need educated as to how traffickers work, what they do, and how to spot them and prevent being abused. Don’t scare your kids. Teach them the fact that most of society is safe, and that people ‘are’ basically good. But do teach them the reality of child trafficking and child abduction and abuse, and how they can prevent being a victim of it.
3, Rescue: Finding and Locating Traffickers and Rescuing Children: With the exception of a few, most anti-child sex trafficking groups do not even find or locate abusers and bust them, or rescue children. Most merely serve as a so called ‘safe house’ to indoctrinate kids with their political or religious agenda, when they are most vulnerable, after they are rescued. More groups need to be formed that actually locate abusers and kids, and rescue them, bringing abusers to justice.
4, Housing: Taking Care of Kids after they have been rescued, providing them a safe place, and making sure that they do not repeat the cycle. At this stage, kids don’t need preached to or made to feel wrong, or required to listen to indoctrination or coerced to sign up for anything. Also, they should not be put on pills or other drugs which will further dehumanize and control them.
5, Promotion: Letting the public know about the reality of trafficking and how they can also help us stop it.
Be there with your child every minute at any meeting, casting, audition, go-see, class, job, or interview for an agent, manager, casting director, or the like. Be there. You have a right to be. If they don’t like it, or say you can’t, walk out, and call ME and I will deal with them for you personally.
There is much, much more we need to discuss concerning this topic, but this is a start. I hope this has helped many of you.

WALKING PREY
Today, two cultural forces are converging to make America’s youth easy targets for sex traffickers. Younger and younger girls are engaging in adult sexual attitudes and practices, and the pressure to conform means thousands have little self-worth and are vulnerable to exploitation. At the same time, thanks to social media, texting, and chatting services, predators are able to ferret out their victims more easily than ever before. In Walking Prey, advocate and former victim Holly Austin Smith shows how middle class suburban communities are fast becoming the new epicenter of sex trafficking in America. Smith speaks from experience: Without consistent positive guidance or engagement, Holly was ripe for exploitation at age fourteen. A chance encounter with an older man led her to run away from home, and she soon found herself on the streets of Atlantic City. Her experience led her, two decades later, to become one of the foremost advocates for trafficking victims. Smith argues that these young women should be treated as victims by law enforcement, but that too often the criminal justice system lacks the resources and training to prevent the vicious cycle of prostitution. This is a clarion call to take a sharp look at one of the most striking human rights abuses, and one that is going on in our own backyard.
