traffic is, is to a whole different level
2
00:00:02,822 --> 00:00:04,042
I just seen the woman out there.
3
00:00:04,312 --> 00:00:05,152
She had a baby.
4
00:00:05,322 --> 00:00:06,822
And I simply seen the man.
5
00:00:06,822 --> 00:00:07,772
She was standing on the bridge.
6
00:00:07,772 --> 00:00:08,802
And I simply seen the man.
7
00:00:08,802 --> 00:00:09,822
He sit there and told her.
8
00:00:10,022 --> 00:00:14,172
He said, If you don't come home,
them other kids gonna be sold.
9
00:00:14,412 --> 00:00:16,642
So she had to stand out there
selling flowers and whatever else.
10
00:00:16,642 --> 00:00:17,222
And it's hot.
11
00:00:19,017 --> 00:00:22,477
I was out there when it was like
102 and the woman was standing out
12
00:00:22,477 --> 00:00:24,527
there with a baby on her, on her.
13
00:00:24,587 --> 00:00:27,237
So it just, traffic is, is
to a whole different level
14
00:00:46,049 --> 00:00:51,239
Hello, and welcome to a prisoner's part
in podcasts with me, your host, me TJ.
15
00:00:51,779 --> 00:00:56,639
Yes today, we have an awesome
episode because today we're
16
00:00:56,669 --> 00:00:58,379
switching gears a little bit.
17
00:00:58,439 --> 00:00:59,849
I'm a be out in the field.
18
00:00:59,909 --> 00:01:04,619
So please excuse the sound is not
as perfect as I would like it to
19
00:01:04,619 --> 00:01:07,439
be, but I will be improving on that.
20
00:01:07,889 --> 00:01:12,209
Today, we're going to be
listening to the victim side.
21
00:01:12,629 --> 00:01:18,479
I know all the time we usually do with
people on the other side, talking about
22
00:01:18,658 --> 00:01:21,239
if they've been incarcerated themselves.
23
00:01:21,509 --> 00:01:22,439
If they worked as though.
24
00:01:23,069 --> 00:01:26,279
A correctional officer, police
officer, if they read in books that
25
00:01:26,279 --> 00:01:30,179
help people that spend incarcerated
as well as their families.
26
00:01:30,579 --> 00:01:36,009
I believe victims do have a voice in
our prison reform, which we should
27
00:01:36,009 --> 00:01:41,259
be listening to, but I don't really
hear a lot from, so we're prisoners.
28
00:01:41,289 --> 00:01:41,889
Pardon?
29
00:01:41,949 --> 00:01:47,049
We want to hear from everyone because we
believe everyone has a voice and should.
30
00:01:47,372 --> 00:01:54,603
Actually participate in the process of
just strategizing ways on how to do prison
31
00:01:54,633 --> 00:01:58,613
reform, and how to lower recidivism.
32
00:01:58,722 --> 00:02:00,792
Today, I'm going to be interviewing.
33
00:02:01,211 --> 00:02:02,921
Monica Monet.
34
00:02:03,671 --> 00:02:06,851
She has been through a lot in her life.
35
00:02:07,721 --> 00:02:10,240
And has been a victim for most of it.
36
00:02:10,330 --> 00:02:13,781
So she's going to be
talking about how she was.
37
00:02:13,884 --> 00:02:17,924
Molested a little bit, nothing
graphics so we can have kids
38
00:02:17,984 --> 00:02:19,214
in, the room if you like.
39
00:02:19,424 --> 00:02:21,914
So it's nothing going to be
graphic, and she's going to talk
40
00:02:21,914 --> 00:02:26,714
about some sex trafficking and
just given us a really good insight
41
00:02:26,744 --> 00:02:30,194
into that world of prostitution.
42
00:02:30,614 --> 00:02:35,084
And how they live there and
how she actually survived.
43
00:02:35,784 --> 00:02:39,714
And how she feels about
people that actually.
44
00:02:40,067 --> 00:02:42,137
Have done this to her.
45
00:02:42,527 --> 00:02:48,167
So I know a lot of times people don't
look at people that's in this sort
46
00:02:48,167 --> 00:02:53,656
of rural as victims, but I'm here
to tell you that we should, when you
47
00:02:53,656 --> 00:02:55,937
hear the story, you understand why.
48
00:02:56,387 --> 00:03:00,527
So again, we're going to be
talking about a sensitive subject.
49
00:03:00,527 --> 00:03:02,717
We're going to be talking
about prostitution.
50
00:03:03,707 --> 00:03:05,897
And the sex trafficking world.
51
00:03:05,897 --> 00:03:08,237
We've been hearing so
much about that lately.
52
00:03:08,537 --> 00:03:11,297
And this has given us this
like a different perspective.
53
00:03:11,297 --> 00:03:13,067
I'm sure you're going to
appreciate hearing this.
54
00:03:13,397 --> 00:03:16,547
So thank you again for
listening again, please.
55
00:03:16,547 --> 00:03:17,927
Excuse the audio.
56
00:03:18,287 --> 00:03:19,787
I will be getting better at this.
57
00:03:20,117 --> 00:03:21,917
But thank you for taking
the time to listen.
58
00:03:21,947 --> 00:03:23,597
Now let's jump into that interview.
59
00:03:23,984 --> 00:03:26,554
Michi J: welcome Monica Monet.
60
00:03:27,554 --> 00:03:31,469
Hi, well, um, Let me go back.
61
00:03:31,509 --> 00:03:36,449
Really, I was a victim of trafficking
as coming into this world, um, being
62
00:03:36,449 --> 00:03:38,769
born and into this world of trafficking.
63
00:03:39,179 --> 00:03:41,869
Um, passed around.
64
00:03:42,418 --> 00:03:43,969
Um, my mom didn't raise me.
65
00:03:44,109 --> 00:03:45,449
My mom gave birth when I was born.
66
00:03:45,489 --> 00:03:46,609
I'm the oldest out of seven.
67
00:03:46,879 --> 00:03:48,889
Um, so I was passed around.
68
00:03:50,189 --> 00:03:51,989
Family, family, friend and family.
69
00:03:52,249 --> 00:03:54,829
Um, just growing up in life.
70
00:03:55,149 --> 00:03:58,489
So I really never had a stable
home as far as I can remember.
71
00:03:58,489 --> 00:04:01,864
For My mom was into trafficking.
72
00:04:02,234 --> 00:04:05,984
That's the reason why she
didn't raise, raise me.
73
00:04:06,084 --> 00:04:09,103
Um, my mom was a prostitute,
which is put out there.
74
00:04:09,614 --> 00:04:11,989
Um, And that was her life.
75
00:04:11,989 --> 00:04:15,259
My mom got killed when I was 11 years old.
76
00:04:15,879 --> 00:04:20,019
And, um, I'm, you know, I'm
the oldest out of seven.
77
00:04:20,249 --> 00:04:23,519
Um, I didn't know my mom like that.
78
00:04:23,699 --> 00:04:25,769
I seen my mom like that.
79
00:04:25,819 --> 00:04:28,079
Um, stuff like that.
80
00:04:28,819 --> 00:04:29,959
That kind of took a toll.
81
00:04:30,639 --> 00:04:37,474
So as we growing up, Like I said,
and I've been tared in life as Bo as
82
00:04:37,879 --> 00:04:41,569
told I'm not gonna be nothing amount
to nothing, but just like my mom.
83
00:04:41,869 --> 00:04:45,379
So it has stirred in me that
I'm gonna be like my mom,
84
00:04:45,529 --> 00:04:47,479
which is, I felt like nothing.
85
00:04:48,529 --> 00:04:54,079
So when I grew up, you know, um, I
jump off the four J 14 left home.
86
00:04:55,484 --> 00:05:00,244
Well, while I was saying, and because
I wasn't being treated right, I was
87
00:05:00,694 --> 00:05:06,804
being um, favorite, I went through
a lot of favoritism, um, judgmental.
88
00:05:07,944 --> 00:05:11,334
And when you raise it, and when
you, I was really, let me say, I was
89
00:05:11,334 --> 00:05:12,344
raised in a house of Pentecostal.
90
00:05:13,074 --> 00:05:17,394
So people that was raised
me was highly at the church.
91
00:05:17,759 --> 00:05:19,559
There was a pastor and pastor's wife.
92
00:05:20,699 --> 00:05:24,849
So it was like a lot of things,
you know, I couldn't do, couldn't
93
00:05:24,849 --> 00:05:25,989
do this, couldn't do that.
94
00:05:26,909 --> 00:05:30,089
And this is what I was taught
that I couldn't do in life,
95
00:05:30,539 --> 00:05:31,349
you know what I'm saying?
96
00:05:31,349 --> 00:05:35,579
And it was like, for me,
judgmental, you know, so that's
97
00:05:35,819 --> 00:05:37,929
all that in life took toll.
98
00:05:38,299 --> 00:05:40,319
And then I went, I was passed around.
99
00:05:40,329 --> 00:05:41,749
I just didn't want to raise with them.
100
00:05:41,749 --> 00:05:44,249
I was passed around the
family, family in life.
101
00:05:44,914 --> 00:05:45,784
You know what I'm saying?
102
00:05:45,814 --> 00:05:46,654
Um, living.
103
00:05:46,714 --> 00:05:52,004
So, me getting older, it's like, I
left home, I started running away,
104
00:05:52,574 --> 00:05:54,554
I started getting what older means.
105
00:05:55,124 --> 00:05:58,204
You know, I didn't, wasn't
told I was loved, so I thought
106
00:05:58,234 --> 00:05:59,933
that was love, of coming.
107
00:06:00,604 --> 00:06:01,634
Cause I never got shown love.
108
00:06:02,484 --> 00:06:03,704
I thought that was love.
109
00:06:04,519 --> 00:06:07,069
From mens 'cause I never
knew what love was.
110
00:06:07,459 --> 00:06:09,674
Lemme um, um, interject here.
111
00:06:09,674 --> 00:06:09,994
Mm-Hmm.
112
00:06:10,174 --> 00:06:12,019
. So did you know your father?
113
00:06:12,499 --> 00:06:12,769
No.
114
00:06:13,639 --> 00:06:13,669
Okay.
115
00:06:13,669 --> 00:06:16,114
So you, you dunno your father now?
116
00:06:16,119 --> 00:06:17,929
No, I had a man that, um,
117
00:06:20,979 --> 00:06:22,209
was, did things for me.
118
00:06:22,959 --> 00:06:27,589
Because he said he was messing
with my mom and she told him she,
119
00:06:27,669 --> 00:06:29,229
he said he knew he wasn't my dad.
120
00:06:30,169 --> 00:06:35,139
You know, um, so that took a lot
of me because I never had a father
121
00:06:35,139 --> 00:06:39,419
figure, well I had a father figure,
figure somewhat in my life, have
122
00:06:39,429 --> 00:06:41,589
past times, but it wasn't like that.
123
00:06:41,589 --> 00:06:50,109
So this made me you know, um, so when
it's this man, um, so let me ask you,
124
00:06:50,479 --> 00:06:56,759
so when you were saying You came in
when you were, you were growing up.
125
00:06:56,759 --> 00:06:57,119
Mm-Hmm.
126
00:06:57,619 --> 00:06:59,239
. You really was like, passed around.
127
00:06:59,239 --> 00:06:59,479
Yeah.
128
00:06:59,939 --> 00:07:02,854
So you almost were saying you
were traffick, like you said.
129
00:07:02,854 --> 00:07:02,914
Yeah.
130
00:07:03,694 --> 00:07:04,384
From the beginning.
131
00:07:04,444 --> 00:07:04,534
Mm-Hmm.
132
00:07:04,924 --> 00:07:10,624
. And even before you actually
got physically, um, trafficked.
133
00:07:10,829 --> 00:07:13,114
Well, I could say my own
auntie kind of sold me.
134
00:07:13,324 --> 00:07:13,594
Yeah.
135
00:07:13,594 --> 00:07:14,584
So I ain't trying to be funny.
136
00:07:14,759 --> 00:07:17,524
I, I, my auntie, you
know, I was little girl.
137
00:07:17,524 --> 00:07:18,124
I, I.
138
00:07:20,559 --> 00:07:22,989
So to this day, I got
someone on my Facebook.
139
00:07:22,989 --> 00:07:25,899
My cousin baby daddy sit
there and said, he apologized.
140
00:07:25,929 --> 00:07:27,069
I don't hold grudges.
141
00:07:27,099 --> 00:07:28,149
I don't care if you have any lows.
142
00:07:28,149 --> 00:07:32,769
He still my Facebook friend,
you know, I, I iga, but I didn't
143
00:07:32,769 --> 00:07:34,149
forget, you know what I'm saying?
144
00:07:34,179 --> 00:07:37,449
It's still there, you know,
'cause it's fair for me to tell
145
00:07:37,449 --> 00:07:39,549
my story, for me to be there to.
146
00:07:40,324 --> 00:07:41,144
To help others.
147
00:07:41,224 --> 00:07:41,954
You know what I'm saying?
148
00:07:42,204 --> 00:07:47,384
Because it's like, I, when I, my auntie
is, I basically told her I was raped.
149
00:07:47,464 --> 00:07:48,874
Her friend's father raped me.
150
00:07:49,144 --> 00:07:50,224
She knew about it.
151
00:07:50,234 --> 00:07:52,683
Basically, she's like passed
me on and basically was told
152
00:07:52,683 --> 00:07:53,824
that I was lying about stuff.
153
00:07:54,134 --> 00:07:58,814
I got broke up at eight years old by
my cousin, five, I mean, six, eight,
154
00:07:59,204 --> 00:07:59,574
okay.
155
00:07:59,574 --> 00:08:01,594
We got to keep it kind of tame.
156
00:08:01,614 --> 00:08:03,974
You know, cause it's
making me kids listening.
157
00:08:03,974 --> 00:08:06,564
So that's what you let me finish.
158
00:08:06,759 --> 00:08:09,389
So I'm getting to a point here.
159
00:08:09,999 --> 00:08:15,739
You, before you was physically
trapped, you was first.
160
00:08:17,809 --> 00:08:23,099
In the mind, because they were
calling you names and they were
161
00:08:23,099 --> 00:08:25,049
saying you just like my mom.
162
00:08:25,129 --> 00:08:25,509
Okay.
163
00:08:25,549 --> 00:08:27,079
It was just like her.
164
00:08:27,179 --> 00:08:28,179
Don't be like her.
165
00:08:28,189 --> 00:08:29,879
Was it negative?
166
00:08:29,879 --> 00:08:30,449
Negative.
167
00:08:30,499 --> 00:08:30,849
Okay.
168
00:08:30,909 --> 00:08:36,929
And then that led to actually
the physical being trapped in
169
00:08:36,929 --> 00:08:41,058
self esteem and just going around
with different family members.
170
00:08:41,109 --> 00:08:46,359
And then these instances started
happening in the family where you had
171
00:08:46,469 --> 00:08:51,769
experienced a lot of mental abuse,
I would say, and um, emotional.
172
00:08:51,869 --> 00:08:54,539
Misty kids going to all three.
173
00:08:54,589 --> 00:08:56,689
So I just need to say I'm so sorry.
174
00:08:57,379 --> 00:09:05,824
So and now After leaving home,
because of what was going on,
175
00:09:06,774 --> 00:09:09,054
it seemed like you were trapped.
176
00:09:09,194 --> 00:09:10,904
It felt like I didn't have a home.
177
00:09:11,554 --> 00:09:14,024
It felt like I didn't have, I
didn't have a home, I didn't have
178
00:09:14,024 --> 00:09:15,554
love, I didn't have no family.
179
00:09:20,334 --> 00:09:22,344
Because family, didn't nobody hurt me.
180
00:09:22,344 --> 00:09:23,904
Family showed me dishonor.
181
00:09:24,374 --> 00:09:29,484
No loyalty, no love, before I even got out
there in the streets and to have friends.
182
00:09:30,484 --> 00:09:31,884
So I always had a trust issue.
183
00:09:32,684 --> 00:09:38,694
People hate, you know, um, and trust
within myself because it took me a minute
184
00:09:39,154 --> 00:09:43,244
to kind of love myself or I'm pretty.
185
00:09:43,574 --> 00:09:47,314
It took me to be in my thirties to say
in my late thirties that I'm beautiful.
186
00:09:47,524 --> 00:09:50,174
I'm pretty because I was
that hot down above me.
187
00:09:50,344 --> 00:09:51,144
You ain't nothing.
188
00:09:51,404 --> 00:09:52,464
You're just like your mom.
189
00:09:52,494 --> 00:09:54,519
So I'm like, Was my mom pretty?
190
00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:55,539
Was my mom beautiful?
191
00:09:55,539 --> 00:09:58,499
Because that's what I
hear, you know, basically.
192
00:09:59,149 --> 00:09:59,529
Yeah.
193
00:10:00,019 --> 00:10:00,299
Yeah.
194
00:10:00,349 --> 00:10:03,459
That was not something that
should happen to anybody.
195
00:10:03,469 --> 00:10:04,079
No kids.
196
00:10:04,099 --> 00:10:08,999
Nobody should be doing that, so if, uh,
audience, if you hear anybody saying
197
00:10:09,069 --> 00:10:13,489
things like that to anybody, please,
respectfully, stop them in their
198
00:10:13,489 --> 00:10:18,929
tracks and tell them you, you shouldn't
be talking that way because you can
199
00:10:18,939 --> 00:10:20,659
lead this person down the wrong path.
200
00:10:21,119 --> 00:10:22,799
It happens all the time.
201
00:10:23,039 --> 00:10:28,649
Monica, so tell us about You
actually getting traffic?
202
00:10:29,159 --> 00:10:30,749
How did you get into that?
203
00:10:30,809 --> 00:10:32,669
What happened that you got?
204
00:10:33,599 --> 00:10:39,839
I started dancing, um, and the money,
and most females, y'all can sit there
205
00:10:39,839 --> 00:10:42,659
and say, y'all make doing all that.
206
00:10:42,659 --> 00:10:44,519
You prostitute yourself in the clubs too.
207
00:10:44,519 --> 00:10:45,209
Let's be real.
208
00:10:45,449 --> 00:10:49,919
Starts off in the club sometimes because
God's going to give you extra money
209
00:10:49,919 --> 00:10:51,599
to go in the back, do extra things.
210
00:10:52,019 --> 00:10:52,649
You know what I'm saying?
211
00:10:54,244 --> 00:10:59,074
For me, I left, when I don't leave
the club, I started going, started
212
00:10:59,074 --> 00:11:01,894
having to come to my hotel room,
or you know, wherever I'm staying
213
00:11:01,894 --> 00:11:04,394
or whatever, or meeting up with me,
or I leave it there from the club.
214
00:11:04,844 --> 00:11:08,464
So that's when it started, you
know, then it started with Backpage.
215
00:11:08,879 --> 00:11:13,339
Um, this and this and this, I started
with that, doing that, you know.
216
00:11:13,339 --> 00:11:13,914
Back pages?
217
00:11:13,914 --> 00:11:18,999
Back pages, online, where you're getting,
you're, tricks, you know what I'm saying?
218
00:11:19,019 --> 00:11:20,009
Men's, you know.
219
00:11:20,279 --> 00:11:20,899
It's an app or something?
220
00:11:21,099 --> 00:11:21,829
Yeah, it's an app.
221
00:11:21,849 --> 00:11:25,289
Where, you know, you should go online on
the website, put your, put your little
222
00:11:25,289 --> 00:11:30,249
pictures, and um, post up little ads,
and you know, like, post little ads
223
00:11:30,299 --> 00:11:31,969
like, you know, your prize or whatever.
224
00:11:31,969 --> 00:11:32,499
It's legal?
225
00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:33,519
Stuff like that.
226
00:11:34,439 --> 00:11:35,729
That's why they shut down Craigslist.
227
00:11:36,409 --> 00:11:37,879
But they was doing it up on there too.
228
00:11:38,329 --> 00:11:40,779
There's a lot of apps out
here that people don't know.
229
00:11:40,779 --> 00:11:41,589
You know what I'm saying?
230
00:11:41,589 --> 00:11:43,439
As far as the trafficking, you know.
231
00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:45,359
Trafficking apps?
232
00:11:46,159 --> 00:11:47,469
Trafficking been going on for years.
233
00:11:47,469 --> 00:11:48,309
Trafficking apps?
234
00:11:48,309 --> 00:11:51,059
No, you say prostitution apps.
235
00:11:51,749 --> 00:11:52,019
Okay.
236
00:11:52,389 --> 00:11:53,879
But they like back page apps.
237
00:11:54,599 --> 00:11:54,899
Okay.
238
00:11:55,029 --> 00:11:57,329
Where they set up these different apps.
239
00:11:57,704 --> 00:12:00,424
Different apps that they set up,
you know what I'm saying, for
240
00:12:00,424 --> 00:12:01,704
like friend This is one of them.
241
00:12:01,924 --> 00:12:04,934
A lot of people, they had the person and
then you go up on there and then you say
242
00:12:04,934 --> 00:12:07,121
you wanna, you know, I'ma touch the stuff.
243
00:12:07,121 --> 00:12:11,070
Yeah, because a lot of females
get killed up off there, remember?
244
00:12:11,070 --> 00:12:12,386
Oh, yeah, that's right.
245
00:12:12,386 --> 00:12:13,044
That's it.
246
00:12:13,044 --> 00:12:20,694
And um, so it's like me, it's I've been
told I was gonna be it, you know, so I was
247
00:12:20,694 --> 00:12:25,364
introduced to sex at a young age So I was
like, okay, whatever, you know, I didn't
248
00:12:25,364 --> 00:12:27,659
love myself You I didn't know my worth.
249
00:12:28,369 --> 00:12:29,669
I had like the money.
250
00:12:29,749 --> 00:12:31,269
I didn't have much of anything.
251
00:12:31,299 --> 00:12:32,919
Me growing up, I didn't have nothing.
252
00:12:32,919 --> 00:12:33,939
So I sent the money.
253
00:12:34,119 --> 00:12:34,949
The men sent me the money.
254
00:12:34,959 --> 00:12:35,849
They said they loved me.
255
00:12:36,039 --> 00:12:39,429
So that was basically
where my mind was at.
256
00:12:39,539 --> 00:12:40,349
You know what I'm saying?
257
00:12:40,399 --> 00:12:41,979
Cause I didn't get it back in the days.
258
00:12:42,019 --> 00:12:43,319
I didn't have anything.
259
00:12:43,329 --> 00:12:47,539
You know, so I just basically,
so I started from dancing to the
260
00:12:47,539 --> 00:12:51,909
strip club to going out there in
the streets, prostituting myself.
261
00:12:52,479 --> 00:12:56,089
Having all, from, from casinos, bars.
262
00:12:57,539 --> 00:13:05,969
I have been on, on, on, on, um, corners,
whatever, you know, um, to get my money.
263
00:13:06,069 --> 00:13:08,379
I have been, even though I didn't
work in a strip club, I would go to
264
00:13:08,379 --> 00:13:11,779
strip clubs and get some men's up
out of there, you know, or sit in
265
00:13:11,779 --> 00:13:13,249
the parking lot and get some men's.
266
00:13:13,249 --> 00:13:17,779
Um, casinos, like I said,
whatever, that, you know, I know
267
00:13:17,779 --> 00:13:18,739
I can get some money to get.
268
00:13:19,209 --> 00:13:19,819
Um.
269
00:13:20,749 --> 00:13:22,189
So I'm going to interrupt you right quick.
270
00:13:22,219 --> 00:13:24,959
So just in case anybody in
the audience is going to be
271
00:13:24,999 --> 00:13:27,129
saying, um, she's not a victim.
272
00:13:27,619 --> 00:13:29,339
You know, she's doing this on her own.
273
00:13:29,769 --> 00:13:32,359
But, you have to look at the big picture.
274
00:13:32,529 --> 00:13:37,369
It started young, where
she was victimized.
275
00:13:37,999 --> 00:13:41,604
Then, And so she
continued this victimhood.
276
00:13:41,824 --> 00:13:46,274
So whether she was actually participating,
yeah, you can look at it like that.
277
00:13:46,284 --> 00:13:47,864
But you got to look at the big picture.
278
00:13:48,164 --> 00:13:53,554
Because this started young, and we
must take responsibility for that.
279
00:13:53,934 --> 00:13:59,234
So again, if you're thinking that she's
not a victim, I do not agree with you.
280
00:13:59,824 --> 00:14:00,454
She isn't.
281
00:14:00,964 --> 00:14:03,354
Okay, so, continue.
282
00:14:03,354 --> 00:14:07,324
Well, um, Basically, I just looked
at it like I'm getting money.
283
00:14:07,384 --> 00:14:08,344
I'm getting something.
284
00:14:08,424 --> 00:14:12,724
I'm having things that I didn't have
when I was growing up, um, in life.
285
00:14:13,024 --> 00:14:17,984
Um, I'm getting show love in life and it
wasn't love because I didn't have that
286
00:14:17,994 --> 00:14:20,244
motherly love or that fatherly love.
287
00:14:20,624 --> 00:14:23,364
I got it from out there
from other people or means.
288
00:14:24,914 --> 00:14:28,084
So when I started having kids,
that's what taught me love.
289
00:14:29,054 --> 00:14:29,804
You know what I'm saying?
290
00:14:29,834 --> 00:14:30,274
Four A's.
291
00:14:30,274 --> 00:14:30,764
My keys.
292
00:14:31,934 --> 00:14:34,304
Um, so I had an incident here.
293
00:14:34,364 --> 00:14:39,444
What made me stop what I'm doing as
far as what I was doing in my life.
294
00:14:39,784 --> 00:14:45,464
I had an incident, um, the way I was out
there and, um, I didn't pray that day.
295
00:14:45,464 --> 00:14:48,514
I normally pray, you know, as God
would cover me while I'm out there.
296
00:14:48,514 --> 00:14:49,384
You know what I was doing.
297
00:14:49,384 --> 00:14:50,524
You know I was going to do it anyway.
298
00:14:50,524 --> 00:14:51,294
So you knew that.
299
00:14:51,294 --> 00:14:53,004
You know, I've been going down.
300
00:14:53,114 --> 00:14:53,824
You were stopping.
301
00:14:53,944 --> 00:14:54,324
Yeah.
302
00:14:54,524 --> 00:14:54,764
Okay.
303
00:14:54,794 --> 00:15:00,034
Um, So I'm sitting there, you know,
I'm out there and, um, half his
304
00:15:00,044 --> 00:15:04,024
men picked me up, you know what I'm
saying, and got in a car with him.
305
00:15:04,794 --> 00:15:07,444
Um, some told me not to.
306
00:15:07,484 --> 00:15:08,454
Men took me.
307
00:15:08,994 --> 00:15:13,024
Um, basically he had me
for a couple of hours.
308
00:15:13,734 --> 00:15:15,444
Raped me, beat me.
309
00:15:19,974 --> 00:15:22,384
First he asked me, um,
310
00:15:24,894 --> 00:15:25,774
you know what I'm saying?
311
00:15:25,824 --> 00:15:29,254
Um, basically, why I'm doing this?
312
00:15:30,974 --> 00:15:31,844
What's my purpose?
313
00:15:34,574 --> 00:15:35,984
And all I could see was my mom.
314
00:15:36,674 --> 00:15:41,264
All I could see was my mom,
my grandkids, and my kids.
315
00:15:44,064 --> 00:15:46,564
So I asked them, I said,
I'm doing this on my own.
316
00:15:47,424 --> 00:15:48,304
It's all I know.
317
00:15:48,504 --> 00:15:51,300
I've had jobs, I done had good jobs.
318
00:15:51,300 --> 00:15:52,808
Got an apprenticeship before.
319
00:15:52,808 --> 00:15:56,264
Been to college, got a PhD degree.
320
00:15:57,674 --> 00:16:00,154
But when your mind don't know
right, it ain't gonna do right.
321
00:16:00,519 --> 00:16:04,449
You ain't got nobody leading you right,
or showing you, showing you the way.
322
00:16:04,499 --> 00:16:05,589
It ain't gonna be right.
323
00:16:05,869 --> 00:16:07,659
I had negatives in my life.
324
00:16:07,659 --> 00:16:08,939
You wanted to be loved.
325
00:16:08,939 --> 00:16:11,519
You wanted to be loved, so
I went out there for love.
326
00:16:12,149 --> 00:16:13,259
They wasn't loving me.
327
00:16:13,559 --> 00:16:16,169
They wasn't gonna be using me
just to say anybody like that.
328
00:16:16,179 --> 00:16:24,009
My, my, I thought, And they was,
you know, so basically the man
329
00:16:24,199 --> 00:16:25,379
had me for a couple of hours.
330
00:16:27,759 --> 00:16:30,529
He was telling me something wrong
with the man, cause he was like,
331
00:16:30,539 --> 00:16:33,609
um, Can I be your, be your man?
332
00:16:34,049 --> 00:16:37,569
I'll get you a job, you
know, and everything.
333
00:16:37,979 --> 00:16:40,819
I done had stuff like that
done to me, but not like that.
334
00:16:41,049 --> 00:16:42,073
Not like that.
335
00:16:42,073 --> 00:16:46,819
All through my head, all I could say
was, Jesus help me, Lord help me.
336
00:16:47,434 --> 00:16:48,604
Help me Lord, help me.
337
00:16:49,044 --> 00:16:50,444
That's all I did was pray.
338
00:16:50,504 --> 00:16:58,694
I cried out for hours and hours as he's
beating me, raping me over and over again.
339
00:16:58,694 --> 00:16:58,764
Dear Lord.
340
00:16:58,764 --> 00:17:01,984
That man dropped me off.
341
00:17:04,723 --> 00:17:06,444
All I can do is say thank you, Jesus.
342
00:17:06,444 --> 00:17:08,013
I went to the hospital.
343
00:17:08,904 --> 00:17:10,243
They gave me all type of pills.
344
00:17:10,243 --> 00:17:11,434
I had tetanus on that.
345
00:17:11,434 --> 00:17:14,434
So I wouldn't have nothing.
346
00:17:15,354 --> 00:17:17,604
I had a rape kid done and everything.
347
00:17:18,284 --> 00:17:20,054
By the grace of God, they called him.
348
00:17:20,394 --> 00:17:23,674
Cause they found his
body fluid hits up on me.
349
00:17:25,634 --> 00:17:27,814
I don't know if he's still in
jail cause I couldn't go to court.
350
00:17:29,499 --> 00:17:35,389
It was, we had to go on, I had to go
on the phones, like now it still hurts.
351
00:17:36,259 --> 00:17:41,049
So it was kind of, um,
Oh, it was kind of fresh.
352
00:17:41,674 --> 00:17:45,324
When they had me going through court,
I wasn't able to do it, you know.
353
00:17:45,354 --> 00:17:47,004
So he was, who was this guy?
354
00:17:47,344 --> 00:17:48,224
I didn't know him.
355
00:17:48,254 --> 00:17:48,834
I'm a prostitute.
356
00:17:48,834 --> 00:17:50,104
I didn't know him, but he didn't know me.
357
00:17:50,484 --> 00:17:53,804
So he was indeed someone
that they were looking for?
358
00:17:54,394 --> 00:17:55,664
He killed four females.
359
00:17:55,984 --> 00:18:01,164
When I found out who he was, and when
the people from the place came and told
360
00:18:01,164 --> 00:18:03,154
me to identify him, we were lined up.
361
00:18:04,444 --> 00:18:06,644
It was told, I'm not the only one.
362
00:18:07,304 --> 00:18:08,654
I'm not the only victim.
363
00:18:08,674 --> 00:18:10,514
By the grace of God,
he killed four of them.
364
00:18:11,024 --> 00:18:12,584
Yes, that's the grace of God.
365
00:18:12,834 --> 00:18:14,854
So God got arrested for a reason.
366
00:18:15,274 --> 00:18:15,644
Yes.
367
00:18:16,324 --> 00:18:19,044
I've been asking what
is my purpose with God?
368
00:18:19,499 --> 00:18:22,369
I know a lot of guys, but I
gave up on God a long time ago.
369
00:18:22,369 --> 00:18:23,419
I really did.
370
00:18:23,919 --> 00:18:27,229
I really did, because I had to
ask Him so many times, Why do you
371
00:18:27,229 --> 00:18:28,449
keep letting me go through this?
372
00:18:28,999 --> 00:18:30,689
Can't leave this world messed up.
373
00:18:32,179 --> 00:18:33,519
Going up messed up.
374
00:18:33,529 --> 00:18:36,779
He put me through a test,
you know what I'm saying?
375
00:18:36,779 --> 00:18:38,399
But I know He put me here.
376
00:18:38,924 --> 00:18:41,894
So I can have a testimony
because I'm not the only one.
377
00:18:42,164 --> 00:18:43,474
I can save lives.
378
00:18:43,704 --> 00:18:47,874
Tell us about some of the women you
were with and I know you explained
379
00:18:47,874 --> 00:18:52,024
something that they were like family
and tried to make a, you know, I had,
380
00:18:52,084 --> 00:18:56,614
I, I had more females being my family
more than my own family was to me.
381
00:18:56,694 --> 00:18:57,564
But not for me.
382
00:18:58,884 --> 00:19:02,174
I lived with different, multiple,
different races of females,
383
00:19:03,234 --> 00:19:05,534
different cultures, you know.
384
00:19:06,184 --> 00:19:11,104
I think you told me something, um, you
would get together and you all would,
385
00:19:11,864 --> 00:19:14,404
like, have No, this, this wasn't this.
386
00:19:15,084 --> 00:19:17,294
That's, you call them wife in laws.
387
00:19:17,854 --> 00:19:18,254
What?
388
00:19:18,794 --> 00:19:20,244
We call them wife in laws.
389
00:19:20,314 --> 00:19:21,614
I have plenty of wife in laws.
390
00:19:22,354 --> 00:19:23,294

00:19:31,475 --> 00:19:31,838
What is that?
399
00:19:31,838 --> 00:19:32,564

You in a relationship with this man,
she in a relationship with this man.

You married to him, she married to him.
403
00:19:39,934 --> 00:19:40,624
That's the minimum.
404
00:19:41,684 --> 00:19:42,534

But this been going on for a while, why

459
00:21:41,674 --> 00:21:42,844

Alright.
477
00:22:12,679 --> 00:22:15,559
You know, I mean, it's
been going on for years.
478
00:22:15,569 --> 00:22:16,039
Yeah.
479
00:22:16,159 --> 00:22:16,949
Can't stop that.
480
00:22:16,969 --> 00:22:18,869
It's been going on since the 70s, the 60s.
481
00:22:18,939 --> 00:22:20,449
Okay, back in B.
482

Yeah.
484
00:22:22,879 --> 00:22:24,939
You know, so it's been out there.
485
00:22:24,999 --> 00:22:25,119
Okay.
486
00:22:25,499 --> 00:22:29,939
You know, um, You And, some
females, y'all gotta understand,
487
00:22:30,799 --> 00:22:34,359
Some females, they just, they does
it because they never had a life.
488
00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:38,779
Some females see that money, they
like, Man, I want that money.
489
00:22:38,789 --> 00:22:39,659
You know what I'm saying?
490
00:22:39,889 --> 00:22:40,679
It's not the life.
491
00:22:40,909 --> 00:22:41,769
It's not the life.
492
00:22:41,769 --> 00:22:42,509
It's not the life.
493
00:22:43,869 --> 00:22:48,499
About trafficking too though,
do, is it, I don't know, I should
494
00:22:48,499 --> 00:22:51,209
have looked this up, and I can
look it up later about the stats.
495
00:22:51,749 --> 00:22:57,309
Um, of course being trafficking, is it a
lot of prostitutes being done that way?
496
00:22:57,469 --> 00:23:03,434
Just more of them, because I know they
take, Kids off the street and go do this.
497
00:23:03,554 --> 00:23:06,224
Some kids don't be tucking a
lot of these little girls hot.
498
00:23:06,224 --> 00:23:09,134
They just go out there, they see
a man and they and, and, and, and,
499
00:23:09,134 --> 00:23:10,694
and they ain't got no male figure.
500
00:23:10,694 --> 00:23:12,194
So they look like this is a male figure.
501
00:23:12,194 --> 00:23:13,754
This male same I just said.
502
00:23:14,054 --> 00:23:15,194
So they look like this is love.
503
00:23:15,454 --> 00:23:16,884
They look like it's a father figure.
504
00:23:17,014 --> 00:23:20,394
This man show me some attention
and, you know, Yeah, he, he, he
505
00:23:20,834 --> 00:23:24,444
supposed to be finessing your mind.

00:23:24,674 --> 00:23:27,134
I tell you what you gonna get, he
gonna buy you the finest things.
507
00:23:27,204 --> 00:23:29,564
Cause you getting the finest,
you getting the finest money too.
508
00:23:29,574 --> 00:23:30,834
You buying the finest things.
509
00:23:31,134 --> 00:23:33,394
So yes, he gonna dress you to impress.
510
00:23:33,604 --> 00:23:35,054
To go out there and get that money.
511
00:23:35,614 --> 00:23:37,364
And that club go out
there in them streets.
512
00:23:39,019 --> 00:23:42,109
But you got some that had a
good home, mom and father.
513
00:23:42,949 --> 00:23:44,669
That's just the life they wanted to live.
514
00:23:44,989 --> 00:23:47,679
Cause I done seen some
that had a good life.
515
00:23:48,319 --> 00:23:50,409
They didn't want for
nothing, but they out there.
516
00:23:50,474 --> 00:23:53,114
I don't, you know what?
517
00:23:53,384 --> 00:23:55,104
That's, you're absolutely right.
518
00:23:55,174 --> 00:23:59,364
I was not thinking about, I was at first
thinking like they were just snatched
519
00:23:59,364 --> 00:24:01,254
and then it was against their will.
520
00:24:01,254 --> 00:24:03,404
You got something, don't get it twisted.
521
00:24:03,414 --> 00:24:04,514
You got something that does.
522
00:24:04,664 --> 00:24:06,324
You got parents that sell their kids.
523
00:24:06,354 --> 00:24:09,484
Same way, like I feel as though our kids,
them mommas should be locked up too.
524
00:24:09,834 --> 00:24:11,354
You know, just be real.
525
00:24:11,604 --> 00:24:13,394
Yeah, I feel like y'all pushed them kids.
526
00:24:13,404 --> 00:24:16,534
Y'all knew this man, y'all knew
this man sat here and there,
527
00:24:16,534 --> 00:24:18,074
that good young girl, Aaliyah.
528
00:24:18,074 --> 00:24:18,704
I love y'all.
529
00:24:18,924 --> 00:24:22,994
So come on, y'all should've knew
not to sit there and introduce
530
00:24:22,994 --> 00:24:24,474
y'all daughter to this man.
531
00:24:25,014 --> 00:24:26,614
Same way, you know, like, come on.
532
00:24:26,614 --> 00:24:30,624
Y'all, y'all, y'all know it's out
here so why push your daughters?
533
00:24:31,444 --> 00:24:33,704
Why have your daughters
around these grown leads?
534
00:24:33,714 --> 00:24:37,734
Some of these men profit and deal with
these women just to get what they want.
535
00:24:37,734 --> 00:24:40,594
Facts.
536
00:24:40,594 --> 00:24:41,544
Those are facts.
537
00:24:41,644 --> 00:24:45,669
When they say, oh, this is, this is my
male friend, or they, you know, They
538
00:24:45,719 --> 00:24:50,219
uncles, and it ain't they uncles, you know
what I'm saying, and they do it for them.
539
00:24:50,219 --> 00:24:52,709
I done seen that so many,
so, so, so many times.
540
00:24:52,949 --> 00:24:55,359
A female growing up, and
this man, I seen her grew up.
541
00:24:55,679 --> 00:25:05,869
So you're saying that we are overlooking
Parents that are trying to do kids.
542
00:25:06,239 --> 00:25:09,289
You got parents, you got some parents
that push their kids to do it.
543
00:25:09,729 --> 00:25:12,959
You got, um, kids that
just do, do, do, do, do.
544
00:25:12,959 --> 00:25:16,339
You got some that just say they want
to do it they self, they see the money.
545
00:25:16,769 --> 00:25:20,209
Got some, I'ma put it like this,
when you don't love yourself,
546
00:25:20,759 --> 00:25:22,059
you don't have self love.
547
00:25:22,634 --> 00:25:26,224
When the devil break your mind
and you let him rape it, you'll
548
00:25:26,224 --> 00:25:27,244
be out there in the streets.
549
00:25:27,994 --> 00:25:32,304
Either mentally messed up or messed up
out there on the streets really messed up.
550
00:25:32,304 --> 00:25:35,204
Cause I done seen prostitutes out
there really messed up on drugs.
551
00:25:35,214 --> 00:25:39,524
Some of them dope dating just
to get a little hit every now
552
00:25:39,524 --> 00:25:41,854
and then and, and whatever.
553
00:25:42,074 --> 00:25:43,314
And some of them getting their money.
554
00:25:43,354 --> 00:25:44,804
So we got all type of women.
555
00:25:46,179 --> 00:25:52,099
Would you think, this is a question
for you, if young people, young kids
556
00:25:52,099 --> 00:25:58,309
especially, are looking at, um, some stuff
they shouldn't be watching, you know,
557
00:25:58,329 --> 00:26:02,029
like pornography and things like that,
it can lead to trafficking, do you think?
558
00:26:02,029 --> 00:26:03,079
No.
559
00:26:03,079 --> 00:26:03,379
No?
560
00:26:03,579 --> 00:26:04,389
Okay, why not?
561
00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:07,019
It's out here.
562
00:26:07,159 --> 00:26:09,649
How can you hide things from them?
563
00:26:09,689 --> 00:26:11,029
I'm not saying they're hiding them.
564
00:26:11,099 --> 00:26:13,429
I said that they could lead to that.
565
00:26:13,439 --> 00:26:16,059
So it's them seeing No.
566
00:26:16,519 --> 00:26:17,159
You don't think so?
567
00:26:17,219 --> 00:26:17,439
No.
568
00:26:17,449 --> 00:26:17,779
Okay.
569
00:26:19,079 --> 00:26:22,949
Either way, it's there's something in
their mind, or they just crunk to it.
570
00:26:23,349 --> 00:26:26,669
But, yeah, it's something in their minds,
so I mean, they had to see it first.
571
00:26:26,869 --> 00:26:28,029
They didn't get to see it in their mind.
572
00:26:28,029 --> 00:26:31,839
And now, they're sexualized.
573
00:26:33,619 --> 00:26:33,949
Yeah.
574
00:26:34,429 --> 00:26:36,939
It depends on, I'm gonna say it like this.
575
00:26:36,959 --> 00:26:39,909
I talk to a lot of females as far
as when their situation will matter.
576
00:26:40,744 --> 00:26:44,394
And my female said, why would I sit
here and stay in the house with my
577
00:26:44,394 --> 00:26:46,134
mama when my uncle sleeping with me?
578
00:26:46,174 --> 00:26:47,764
So I come out here and get some money.
579
00:26:47,764 --> 00:26:48,814
I'm not getting no money from him.
580
00:26:48,904 --> 00:26:52,814
You don't know what went on in that home.
581
00:26:53,084 --> 00:26:57,244
See, back in the days, and it's
still going on, um, what goes on
582
00:26:57,244 --> 00:26:59,134
in my house stays in my house.
583
00:27:00,094 --> 00:27:02,964
So a lot of kids couldn't say, oh,
I'm being touched by such and such.
584
00:27:03,134 --> 00:27:03,874
Oh, you're not.
585
00:27:05,869 --> 00:27:09,279
So you had a lot of kids that was break
and molested so they feel as though why
586
00:27:09,279 --> 00:27:13,519
should I I'm gonna get money I'm already
like this, but that's no self esteem
587
00:27:15,239 --> 00:27:18,559
That's the devil working in your mind
and say going out there whatever whatever
588
00:27:18,759 --> 00:27:23,419
instead of saying well get you some help
mentally let go of that God if you deal
589
00:27:23,419 --> 00:27:28,339
with you got their religion and take your
meds cuz God said don't be a student you
590
00:27:28,339 --> 00:27:32,719
need to take your meds cuz you don't need
them and and and and work with yourself
591
00:27:32,759 --> 00:27:37,084
get some help some counseling Like I
did, I have a psychiatrist, I have a
592
00:27:37,084 --> 00:27:39,204
counselor, I have medicine that I take.
593
00:27:39,244 --> 00:27:41,214
I know how to take it, because
I know that's what's going to
594
00:27:41,214 --> 00:27:43,764
make me grow up, you know what
I'm saying, a little more better.
595
00:27:43,764 --> 00:27:46,664
I used to say, oh, I don't, I
used to judge myself and say,
596
00:27:46,904 --> 00:27:49,114
I'm not, I'm, I'm, I'm not human.
597
00:27:49,474 --> 00:27:51,924
Because I had to take meds
because I had a problem.
598
00:27:53,109 --> 00:27:56,599
I was bringing this up because I've
talked to a lot of people and I've seen
599
00:27:56,599 --> 00:28:04,529
it where, and I can, I honestly, I can
see the connection, because if a person's
600
00:28:04,559 --> 00:28:09,969
too young to be watching something and
they start being sexualized, and they're
601
00:28:10,019 --> 00:28:15,609
thinking that it's okay, and then if
it's, They're being rewarded for it and
602
00:28:15,609 --> 00:28:20,729
then they're, it gets twisted and then in
that case, they can easily be trafficked.
603
00:28:20,729 --> 00:28:26,514
But I keep agreeing with you,
so this is where I'm getting at.
604
00:28:26,514 --> 00:28:32,299
So, um, just be very careful about
what your kids are looking at.
605
00:28:32,299 --> 00:28:36,439
Um, especially, I won't even go
there, about some of these, I
606
00:28:36,439 --> 00:28:40,319
would say parades that we see
these kids at, shouldn't be there.
607
00:28:40,679 --> 00:28:44,309
I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I know you
ain't finna just put it out there.
608
00:28:45,709 --> 00:28:47,089
Y'all got these kids confused.
609
00:28:47,879 --> 00:28:48,729
You know what I'm saying?
610
00:28:48,729 --> 00:28:50,219
You get confused, whatever.
611
00:28:50,689 --> 00:28:54,349
I understand, cause when they had
that hair, it kind of bothered me when
612
00:28:54,349 --> 00:28:56,419
I seen y'all having kids out there.
613
00:28:56,419 --> 00:28:58,439
And people, two bad kids and two women.
614
00:28:58,479 --> 00:28:59,559
I ain't trying to be funny.
615
00:28:59,829 --> 00:29:01,779
That should be in y'all
house for childhood.
616
00:29:01,999 --> 00:29:04,179
Your kids shouldn't be seeing
other people doing that.
617
00:29:04,409 --> 00:29:05,139
End of the day.
618
00:29:05,709 --> 00:29:05,739
Yes.
619
00:29:05,739 --> 00:29:07,854
Oh, there's, um.
620
00:29:08,544 --> 00:29:13,634
That, the odds of him being
trafficked is higher now.
621
00:29:14,254 --> 00:29:16,894
So, um, anyway.
622
00:29:17,184 --> 00:29:19,584
Oh, it's, it's, it wasn't
high, it's been high.
623
00:29:19,874 --> 00:29:20,994
The trafficking level's been high.
624
00:29:21,204 --> 00:29:22,824
It's been high, I'm just saying.
625
00:29:22,844 --> 00:29:25,074
The only thing that's really
put it out was social media.
626
00:29:25,114 --> 00:29:25,454
Right.
627
00:29:25,474 --> 00:29:28,954
Social media really put a lot of, social
media really put a lot of things out.
628
00:29:29,084 --> 00:29:32,364
When Facebook came out and this media
thing, it really put a lot of things out,
629
00:29:32,364 --> 00:29:35,144
opened up a lot of eyes that a lot of
people did not know was really going on.
630
00:29:35,324 --> 00:29:35,734
Right.
631
00:29:36,979 --> 00:29:39,329
Because a lot of people get to tell
their story, like I'm sitting here.
632
00:29:39,359 --> 00:29:42,639
No, right, but also you're right.
633
00:29:42,669 --> 00:29:49,179
But I'm saying from the point of view
that now the individual person is more
634
00:29:49,179 --> 00:29:51,539
at higher risk to be able to be trapped.
635
00:29:51,819 --> 00:29:54,609
Yeah, because they've been exposed.
636
00:29:54,799 --> 00:29:56,489
Yeah, but you're right.
637
00:29:57,109 --> 00:30:01,299
Two, we're seeing more of it
because the social media, it was
638
00:30:01,299 --> 00:30:02,899
hidden, now it's being exposed.
639
00:30:02,899 --> 00:30:08,509
And it's being, not just exposed,
it's being multiplied, because now
640
00:30:08,509 --> 00:30:12,459
they can get to it, whereas before,
it was harder to get to, but now
641
00:30:12,459 --> 00:30:14,059
it's making it even more prevalent.
642
00:30:14,099 --> 00:30:18,449
My friend called me a couple
months ago and said her niece, the
643
00:30:18,459 --> 00:30:20,279
police, came to her momma house.
644
00:30:20,934 --> 00:30:24,304
It said that her 13 year old niece
was online with a pregnant woman.
645
00:30:25,914 --> 00:30:27,444
Half these kids shouldn't have phones.
646
00:30:27,464 --> 00:30:29,264
Y'all paying for iPhones for what?
647
00:30:29,264 --> 00:30:32,664
For your child to be sitting up there with
John, Big Boop, and whatever it don't go.
648
00:30:32,964 --> 00:30:34,684
Who they, who on the other end of it?
649
00:30:34,884 --> 00:30:37,774
You shouldn't have certain printable
items of your kids, what they not
650
00:30:37,774 --> 00:30:39,254
supposed to do and what they, what, what.
651
00:30:40,009 --> 00:30:42,689
Social media more know about
y'all kids than y'all do.
652
00:30:42,789 --> 00:30:43,539
Put it like that.
653
00:30:43,879 --> 00:30:45,119
Well, you're right about that.
654
00:30:45,149 --> 00:30:48,519
Other people know about y'all kids as
watching y'all kids more than y'all do.
655
00:30:48,669 --> 00:30:52,219
These kids, they activate their
pages, cause I had one at the time.
656
00:30:52,329 --> 00:30:53,299
My kids are grown.
657
00:30:53,629 --> 00:30:54,889
At the time, I went through that.
658
00:30:55,014 --> 00:30:56,244
I went through something like that.
659
00:30:56,244 --> 00:30:59,454
If my grown, my friend and I call
me and say, your daughter's never
660
00:30:59,454 --> 00:31:00,684
sitting up there on Facebook.
661
00:31:00,834 --> 00:31:04,644
Lil daughter, not . They up there
with the little hair brown, with the
662
00:31:04,644 --> 00:31:06,864
little booty shorts on sitting there.
663
00:31:06,954 --> 00:31:08,874
If you wouldn't have call me and
told me your daughter's never on
664
00:31:08,874 --> 00:31:11,154
Facebook, I wouldn't even know
that they had a Facebook page.
665
00:31:11,424 --> 00:31:13,734
My daughter's 14 years old the
time my dad sent to her phone
666
00:31:13,734 --> 00:31:15,084
and I, I want her to have now.
667
00:31:15,384 --> 00:31:16,254
And that's how I found out.
668
00:31:16,254 --> 00:31:20,274
My daughter's on Facebook half
naked and all the people that
669
00:31:20,274 --> 00:31:21,414
was her friends was grown men.
670
00:31:23,114 --> 00:31:25,274
It's a way you can monitor.
671
00:31:26,014 --> 00:31:29,264
It's something you can put on the
phone where parents can monitor it.
672
00:31:29,264 --> 00:31:30,644
And they should be monitoring their kids.
673
00:31:30,644 --> 00:31:33,904
At a certain age, I wouldn't let a
certain kid have a certain phone.
674
00:31:33,914 --> 00:31:36,664
There's phones out here where
you can dial certain numbers.
675
00:31:38,014 --> 00:31:40,764
, There's phones out here where you can put
certain numbers up on there, a certain
676
00:31:40,764 --> 00:31:45,334
phone that you call for emergency, if
you want to try that phone, you know,
677
00:31:45,354 --> 00:31:49,744
but Other than that, poor ass, these kids
shouldn't be walking around with no phone.
678
00:31:49,754 --> 00:31:51,224
Half of them can't read a spell.
679
00:31:51,594 --> 00:31:53,244
There's too much pedophiles out here.
680
00:31:53,244 --> 00:31:55,494
You bad enough you can walk out
here and might get picked up.
681
00:31:55,494 --> 00:31:57,454
They picking you up out here on
the streets, that's for real.
682
00:31:59,094 --> 00:32:01,294
Um, so, you know, just watch your kids.
683
00:32:01,634 --> 00:32:03,334
Um, watch you around your kids.
684
00:32:03,394 --> 00:32:08,204
Sometimes the family, family, why some
of these family members, you don't
685
00:32:08,204 --> 00:32:11,254
even know where your family is, when
you find plenty of stuff in your kids
686
00:32:11,254 --> 00:32:12,464
head and touching them, relaxing them.
687
00:32:12,924 --> 00:32:15,264
Some of these kids ain't
going to say nothing.
688
00:32:15,464 --> 00:32:16,104
They not.
689
00:32:16,554 --> 00:32:17,174
They not.
690
00:32:17,314 --> 00:32:17,674
Why?
691
00:32:17,714 --> 00:32:20,144
I done seen kids like that,
ain't going to say nothing.
692
00:32:20,274 --> 00:32:25,564
Because the simple fact, they feel as
though, I had a child that told me, said,
693
00:32:25,604 --> 00:32:30,029
I didn't want to say nothing because that
person said it's going to kill my family.
694
00:32:30,029 --> 00:32:33,124
It's because my mom and
dad, it's the same thing.
695
00:32:33,674 --> 00:32:37,954
You don't know what's in that kid's
mind when that man tellin them that.
696
00:32:37,964 --> 00:32:39,314
We got some armed
shootings around here too.
697
00:32:39,314 --> 00:32:42,934
We got women's days around here
molesting girls, I mean boys too.
698
00:32:42,954 --> 00:32:44,394
So it's vice versa.
699
00:32:45,454 --> 00:32:45,804
Yeah.
700
00:32:46,404 --> 00:32:47,554
In all fairness, yeah.
701
00:32:47,814 --> 00:32:48,484
Vice versa.
702
00:32:48,484 --> 00:32:52,864
So we just can't say Cause I
done seen trainees out here.
703
00:32:53,064 --> 00:32:55,954
I done seen men out here
prostituting themselves too as well.
704
00:32:55,994 --> 00:32:57,544
And they ain't even
got dressed like a man.
705
00:32:57,544 --> 00:32:59,154
They pronounce themselves as a man.
706
00:32:59,154 --> 00:33:02,284
So you got some prostituting
males out here too as well.
707
00:33:02,284 --> 00:33:03,354
You know what?
708
00:33:03,364 --> 00:33:06,954
It's interesting because we have laws.
709
00:33:07,524 --> 00:33:15,524
If you saw a couple episodes away, I had
interviewed Mitch Topeka, and he has a
710
00:33:15,524 --> 00:33:24,714
sex case, uh, where he, he was, uh, 18
15, and he's on, um, the registry now.
711
00:33:24,804 --> 00:33:32,104
But, Don't you think being trafficked, a
trafficker should have something similar?
712
00:33:32,694 --> 00:33:34,504
I mean, this is a
question for the audience.
713
00:33:34,804 --> 00:33:37,924
We'll get back to that later,
but it's making me think.
714
00:33:38,314 --> 00:33:41,884
You know, it's a sex case,
so why are they registered?
715
00:33:42,874 --> 00:33:47,754
I hope we need to look at that
and maybe look at some laws maybe.
716
00:33:48,214 --> 00:33:53,814
To probably have that on the books because
this is so prevalent, but I don't know.
717
00:33:53,884 --> 00:33:55,004
Trafficking is on me.
718
00:33:55,034 --> 00:33:58,234
My trafficking is, when you
got to a certain age and you
719
00:33:58,234 --> 00:33:59,874
grown, you did that on your own.
720
00:34:00,394 --> 00:34:04,364
Now, my thing is, when you a
child and you a minor, now that's
721
00:34:04,584 --> 00:34:05,744
too, that's way too prominent.
722
00:34:05,744 --> 00:34:06,244
That's trafficking.
723
00:34:07,144 --> 00:34:09,134
When you at a certain
age, you're not grown.
724
00:34:09,264 --> 00:34:10,174
That ain't grown for me.
725
00:34:10,989 --> 00:34:12,059
Put herself out there.
726
00:34:12,268 --> 00:34:14,447
She knew what was finna go.
727
00:34:14,447 --> 00:34:15,081
I'm just going to be real with you.
728
00:34:15,081 --> 00:34:17,449
And grandma put herself out there
like I did when I got grown.
729
00:34:17,849 --> 00:34:21,719
Now, but what happened to me as a
kid, that's what was on them adults.
730
00:34:22,159 --> 00:34:26,179
When you get a certain age and you become
a grown woman or a grown man, that's when
731
00:34:26,179 --> 00:34:27,688
you take accountability of your life.
732
00:34:27,688 --> 00:34:30,478
You know that ain't right, but
you still go out there and do it.
733
00:34:30,478 --> 00:34:32,699
So, when I got a certain age,
yeah, I did it on my own.
734
00:34:33,049 --> 00:34:35,639
And a lot of people, they sit
there and say, oh, she, you know,
735
00:34:35,829 --> 00:34:37,139
well, he trafficked me, baby.
736
00:34:37,149 --> 00:34:39,748
He didn't traffic you
if you're a grown adult.
737
00:34:39,899 --> 00:34:42,659
Now, these kids, they cannot sit
here and say, I'm trafficking
738
00:34:42,668 --> 00:34:43,819
not just only in prostitution.
739
00:34:44,009 --> 00:34:46,958
It's trafficking as far as the
people, trafficking people, period.
740
00:34:47,079 --> 00:34:47,389
Right.
741
00:34:47,708 --> 00:34:50,309
They, they, they selling kids and
they selling adults around here.
742
00:34:50,309 --> 00:34:51,349
That's interesting.
743
00:34:52,149 --> 00:34:52,779
You know what I'm saying?
744
00:34:52,779 --> 00:34:54,248
When I was in Houston,
I seen Theta Houston.
745
00:34:54,449 --> 00:34:55,889
It's a lot of that going on.
746
00:34:56,239 --> 00:34:56,679
For real.
747
00:34:56,799 --> 00:34:57,629
With families,
748
00:34:57,659 --> 00:34:58,879
I just seen the woman out there.
749
00:34:59,149 --> 00:34:59,989
She had a baby.
750
00:35:00,159 --> 00:35:01,659
And I simply seen the man.
751
00:35:01,659 --> 00:35:02,609
She was standing on the bridge.
752
00:35:02,609 --> 00:35:03,639
And I simply seen the man.
753
00:35:03,639 --> 00:35:04,659
He sit there and told her.
754
00:35:04,859 --> 00:35:09,009
He said, If you don't come home,
them other kids gonna be sold.
755
00:35:10,809 --> 00:35:13,039
So she had to stand out there
selling flowers and whatever else.
756
00:35:13,039 --> 00:35:13,619
And it's hot.
757
00:35:15,414 --> 00:35:18,874
I was out there when it was like
102 and the woman was standing out
758
00:35:18,874 --> 00:35:20,924
there with a baby on her, on her.
759
00:35:20,984 --> 00:35:23,634
So it just, traffic is, is
to a whole different level.
760
00:35:24,124 --> 00:35:25,174
Michi J: When people said traffic.
761
00:35:25,644 --> 00:35:27,974
Cause people traffic with
kids, adults, all of that.
762
00:35:28,014 --> 00:35:28,774
You know what I'm saying?
763
00:35:28,794 --> 00:35:30,414
From across the border and everything.
764
00:35:30,424 --> 00:35:31,364
You feel where I'm coming from?
765
00:35:31,834 --> 00:35:33,604
So, it's just more than that.
766
00:35:33,814 --> 00:35:34,214
Right.
767
00:35:34,814 --> 00:35:36,514
So, that's why you see a
lot of movies out here.
768
00:35:36,514 --> 00:35:40,124
There's traffic and in certain
places, countries, it's illegal.
769
00:35:40,354 --> 00:35:40,684
Yeah.
770
00:35:41,269 --> 00:35:44,159
So what, um, so what are you doing now?
771
00:35:44,639 --> 00:35:45,942
What I'm doing now?
772
00:35:45,942 --> 00:35:49,069
Tell us about Monica, Monet.
773
00:35:49,069 --> 00:35:50,849
What is Monica Monet doing now?
774
00:35:50,859 --> 00:35:53,419
Monet was, used to be my stripper name.
775
00:35:53,489 --> 00:35:54,629
Let's just break that down.
776
00:35:54,639 --> 00:35:55,969
Monet was my stripper name.
777
00:35:55,969 --> 00:35:56,989
So are you still stripping?
778
00:35:57,269 --> 00:35:57,589
No.
779
00:35:57,709 --> 00:35:58,029
Okay.
780
00:35:58,169 --> 00:35:59,669
I'm not doing anything at all.
781
00:35:59,729 --> 00:36:01,179
I'm working on myself.
782
00:36:01,299 --> 00:36:03,959
Finna start writing my
book, working on my book.
783
00:36:04,339 --> 00:36:06,854
Um, Telling that story.
784
00:36:07,214 --> 00:36:08,694
Basically, telling my life story.
785
00:36:08,724 --> 00:36:14,584
My brother passed back here on Christmas
Eve, and he said, so it's before
786
00:36:14,584 --> 00:36:17,054
he passed, you know, tell my story.
787
00:36:17,294 --> 00:36:22,924
So, it's, my story basically, it starts
off with my mom, um, and her, her, what
788
00:36:22,924 --> 00:36:26,434
her life was for six, it's not going to
be so much of her, but it's breaking it
789
00:36:26,434 --> 00:36:30,014
down to for people to understand how I
got into their life and their feelings.
790
00:36:30,924 --> 00:36:34,954
And how my life, You know, from
then on, it's coming to this earth
791
00:36:35,004 --> 00:36:38,874
as far as losing her and then
me looking at life with respect.
792
00:36:38,934 --> 00:36:42,634
I don't, life and how life
respect, it took me into how it
793
00:36:42,634 --> 00:36:43,894
respected me and how it done me.
794
00:36:44,214 --> 00:36:45,304
And as far as growing up.
795
00:36:46,954 --> 00:36:51,134
So, I'm not doing things, well
I am as far as writing my book.
796
00:36:51,224 --> 00:36:55,764
Um, soon be trying to
promote myself in my book.
797
00:36:55,944 --> 00:37:00,309
Um, basically getting Get Monica
together, get myself together.
798
00:37:00,349 --> 00:37:01,389
I've been through a lot.
799
00:37:01,769 --> 00:37:02,749
Self love.
800
00:37:03,129 --> 00:37:06,279
Um, doing me for as not.
801
00:37:07,799 --> 00:37:10,859
Controlling me, because I had so
much anger I didn't know I had.
802
00:37:10,949 --> 00:37:12,359
I had, I didn't love myself.
803
00:37:12,359 --> 00:37:14,399
So I couldn't love no one else.
804
00:37:15,009 --> 00:37:17,049
I have mental issues
that I'm working with.
805
00:37:17,059 --> 00:37:20,059
So I have to work with myself before I
can go out and work with other people.
806
00:37:20,486 --> 00:37:25,084
I'm glad to hear that you are
going to be doing the book.
807
00:37:25,084 --> 00:37:27,116
And I can't wait for it to come out.
808
00:37:27,206 --> 00:37:30,426
I'm pretty sure a lot of people
will be interested in it.
809
00:37:30,426 --> 00:37:31,576
So I think we'll see.
810
00:37:32,486 --> 00:37:37,096
You know, what to look for, what
you, seeing it through your eyes.
811
00:37:37,116 --> 00:37:42,206
So now, their, your eyes also become
their eyes, so they know what to do.
812
00:37:42,446 --> 00:37:46,081
So, again, This is a
Christmas card podcast.
813
00:37:46,341 --> 00:37:51,811
, we have never actually, , interviewed
a victim before like this.
814
00:37:52,161 --> 00:37:54,811
Everybody's a victim in
some way, somehow, okay?
815
00:37:54,811 --> 00:37:56,241
Because victims make victims.
816
00:37:56,791 --> 00:37:58,191
Hurt people hurt people.
817
00:37:58,611 --> 00:38:02,461
We want to love everybody,
but we want to be informed so
818
00:38:02,461 --> 00:38:03,395
that we can make a difference.
819
00:38:03,746 --> 00:38:04,476
Stop this.
820
00:38:04,806 --> 00:38:07,966
, you have a peaceful
existence as much as you can.
821
00:38:08,326 --> 00:38:13,166
So I brought up whether the legal
system should look at traffickers the
822
00:38:13,166 --> 00:38:14,966
same way they look at a pedophiles.
823
00:38:15,466 --> 00:38:17,006
Make some stronger laws.
824
00:38:17,076 --> 00:38:23,726
And first Make it known, be clear
what it is before we start, I
825
00:38:23,726 --> 00:38:26,226
would say start penalizing people.
826
00:38:26,256 --> 00:38:30,996
I'm a big fan of communication
so that they do not, people
827
00:38:31,116 --> 00:38:33,616
are aware of these laws.
828
00:38:33,716 --> 00:38:38,146
You have it broadcasted all over
schools, everywhere, if you get caught.
829
00:38:38,251 --> 00:38:43,411
caught trafficking young people because
they cannot give consent at a certain age.
830
00:38:43,561 --> 00:38:44,331
But you're right.
831
00:38:44,671 --> 00:38:48,691
They can, even though their mind isn't
up to part, they're still adults.
832
00:38:48,861 --> 00:38:53,021
So we can't just charge it that way,
the way we can do with Children.
833
00:38:53,371 --> 00:38:54,861
please, think about this.
834
00:38:54,881 --> 00:38:59,311
We're going to have some sessions
later where I can have a time when
835
00:38:59,311 --> 00:39:04,911
we can actually question Miss Monet,
um, to get some insight and see if
836
00:39:04,911 --> 00:39:06,431
your kid's doing certain things.
837
00:39:06,821 --> 00:39:10,861
I'm sure she'll be able to answer like,
Hey, this is, I've seen this before.
838
00:39:10,921 --> 00:39:13,371
Maybe you should look at this or that.
839
00:39:13,501 --> 00:39:15,481
So I'll let you know when that session is.
840
00:39:15,491 --> 00:39:16,901
That's going to be a live session.
841
00:39:17,151 --> 00:39:22,691
, I will put an announcement out about
that later, but, um, I just want to say,
842
00:39:23,691 --> 00:39:25,161
you know, we hear this all the time.
843
00:39:25,161 --> 00:39:25,781
You can't.
844
00:39:27,036 --> 00:39:31,826
You can't change, you can't make a,
what, they say a hoe into a housewife.
845
00:39:32,426 --> 00:39:36,196
You know, you can't
change a person's stripes.
846
00:39:36,496 --> 00:39:40,586
But I'm here to tell you Jesus
Christ can because guess what?
847
00:39:40,726 --> 00:39:47,146
Jesus mother, grandmother I should say,
was a prostitute and she was changed.
848
00:39:47,716 --> 00:39:52,991
So, Miss Romaine, you are
changed and you can be changed.
849
00:39:53,041 --> 00:39:58,661
Don't let nobody ever put labels
on you because God has broken all
850
00:39:58,661 --> 00:40:00,521
those chains and He died for you.
851
00:40:00,711 --> 00:40:06,061
He died for you just like He died for
me, just like He died for all of you.
852
00:40:06,641 --> 00:40:10,341
So, I just want to say that
so you can stay encouraged
853
00:40:10,651 --> 00:40:12,241
because this isn't the end.
854
00:40:12,251 --> 00:40:17,001
You got a lot of work to do
because God saved you by grace.
855
00:40:17,461 --> 00:40:22,491
For some reason, because like she
said, four other women are dead.
856
00:40:23,121 --> 00:40:27,831
And you're sitting here by the
grace of God, you're saying, yes,
857
00:40:27,831 --> 00:40:29,431
it is something for me to do.
858
00:40:29,761 --> 00:40:31,441
And we look forward to you doing it.
859
00:40:31,831 --> 00:40:33,911
So we're wrapping up now.
860
00:40:33,951 --> 00:40:37,241
But um, is there anything
else just quickly that you
861
00:40:37,241 --> 00:40:38,691
want to say to the audience?
862
00:40:38,751 --> 00:40:45,391
Um, about Monica, and right
now we're in awe of you.
863
00:40:45,391 --> 00:40:50,881
We really thank you for being so
transparent and having the courage
864
00:40:50,881 --> 00:40:56,671
to come up here and just speak about
trafficking and being a victim and what's
865
00:40:56,671 --> 00:40:59,041
really going on is going on all over.
866
00:40:59,401 --> 00:41:03,541
And that means we are gonna have
some big people go down for that.
867
00:41:04,846 --> 00:41:05,686
And they should.
868
00:41:06,046 --> 00:41:06,726
And they should.
869
00:41:06,726 --> 00:41:11,235
I'm going to say this because I'm glad
that you said Mayfair because I was
870
00:41:11,236 --> 00:41:12,386
going to say something about that.
871
00:41:12,656 --> 00:41:18,216
But thank you for coming to me and
to let me speak on my behalf of this.
872
00:41:18,336 --> 00:41:19,416
I appreciate that.
873
00:41:19,996 --> 00:41:21,196
You got a lot of these.
874
00:41:22,191 --> 00:41:27,681
Top people, like I said
earlier, best into the traffic.
875
00:41:28,511 --> 00:41:32,361
Um, police officer, that's why so many
females don't even want to go to them.
876
00:41:32,581 --> 00:41:34,471
Because I done had some, I had faith.
877
00:41:35,151 --> 00:41:38,021
You got some that'll sit there
and say, I won't take you to jail
878
00:41:38,021 --> 00:41:39,050
if you, if you do these things.
879
00:41:39,121 --> 00:41:40,221
For me or whatever.
880
00:41:40,471 --> 00:41:41,301
It got to stop.
881
00:41:41,471 --> 00:41:42,301
It got to stop.
882
00:41:43,171 --> 00:41:45,631
But that's the reason why it's
not going to stop because we got
883
00:41:45,631 --> 00:41:48,380
so many of them that's in it.
884
00:41:48,381 --> 00:41:49,171
You feel where I'm coming from?
885
00:41:49,321 --> 00:41:51,311
And it's coming from
the top, the head top.
886
00:41:51,361 --> 00:41:54,141
That is, we know what I said earlier,
it's been going on for years.
887
00:41:55,211 --> 00:41:58,950
And like any place, when we
want to get something done, we
888
00:41:58,951 --> 00:42:00,561
do have to start at the top.
889
00:42:00,581 --> 00:42:03,051
And not the little people, we
have to get the big people.
890
00:42:03,451 --> 00:42:04,821
So we're praying.
891
00:42:05,351 --> 00:42:10,771
Um, that guy does do that and ship things
up because, and you can be a part of it.
892
00:42:11,181 --> 00:42:14,981
Um, if you haven't already,
please join my subscriber list.
893
00:42:15,101 --> 00:42:18,481
Um, so you're aware of when
different events are happening.
894
00:42:18,481 --> 00:42:19,531
Yeah.
895
00:42:19,531 --> 00:42:21,631
That's all.
896
00:42:21,631 --> 00:42:23,641
Um, it's not about that.
897
00:42:23,671 --> 00:42:25,711
This is about what you have to say.
898
00:42:25,851 --> 00:42:27,265
Not how you look.
899
00:42:27,806 --> 00:42:33,036
So, again, thank you all for being on
the show, coming in and watching us.
900
00:42:33,096 --> 00:42:35,876
Um, sense of love, sense of encouragement.
901
00:42:36,076 --> 00:42:40,046
It's not easy, you know, trying to be out
here, trying to do the work of the Lord
902
00:42:40,096 --> 00:42:44,556
but, our Lord, His grace is sufficient,
. , thank you for listening, and may you
903
00:42:44,556 --> 00:42:46,306
have a week filled with blessings.
