TAKEN

I don’t always know for sure when God is taking me somewhere or when the winds of circumstance are just playing out before me.

But, in the last month I have watched a show on Dateline NBC, heard a woman from Focus on the Family and just tonight watched the movie “Taken”, all surrounding the plight of young children (babies) who have been kidnapped, drugged and forced into prostitution or sold as personal sex slaves.

Those that do this to young teenage girls & boys, and those that buy them (either for the night or until they outlive their usefulness), are the sickest of the sick, and I hope that the blackest darkness that 2 Peter 2:13,18 and Jude 1:13 speaks about, is their destination.

Watching the movie ‘Taken’ was very disturbing for me. For my family this is something more than just a casual observation of perversion. My daughter spent one of the longest nights of her life in the hands of one of these kidnappers. Only by Gods direct, divine intervention were we able to get her back. A few more hours and we would have never seen her again. The police aren’t even worth calling, their help consists more of leveling an accusation for being a bad parent because you let your kid run away, and wonderful parting advice after taking their report of; “call us when you hear from them.” My wife asked the officer as he was leaving; “aren’t you going to look for her?” He said; “mam’ we don’t have time to look for runaways!” We knew based on the circumstances of her disappearance that it was more than just a runaway. But they would hear nothing of it. And the penalty for those that are caught trafficking our children, (assuming they go to trial) is less time than someone would get for passing a bad check! The whole thing is sickening from top to bottom. Thankfully in our case, we have a God that places the right people in our lives for just the right moments.

Most people think that this is a problem that exists in places other than in America. Most don’t even have a clue that it takes place in EVERY major metropolitan city and a lot of rural cities all across America… EVERY SINGLE DAY! Even Lexington, KY and other small towns are not exempt! Our children… OUR BABIES… are being sold every day IN THIS COUNTRY right under our very noses.

I am posting a link to the focus on the family radio broadcast that I heard. It is eye opening to say the least. Dr. Dobson’s guest was Linda Smith, CEO of an organization dedicated to eradicating human trafficking. She at one time worked at the legislative level of our government overseeing programs to fight human trafficking worldwide and was appalled to discover how rampant it was in our own cities. Her words were; “If I was in charge of the programs to fight this and didn’t know how pervasive it is in our own country, how then, can the average individual know?”

Listen to the link. Then watch the movie ‘Taken”. It is a great action thriller. But pay close attention to what is happening to the girls in the movie. A lot of the action and thriller parts are pure Hollywood. But, what you see happening to the children who were kidnapped… IS REALITY! It is actually far worse than the movie portrays or than you can imagine. Within hours of these girls being taken they are pumped full of drugs and put up in room to be ‘tried out’… 30 or 40 times in a night. Your little 12, 13 or 14 year old girl who may be sleeping peacefully upstairs in her bedroom right now, by tomorrow night could be on her back in some sleazy hotel room all jacked up on drugs and the willing play thing of dozens of men throughout the course of the night… TURNS YOUR STOMACH to think about doesn’t it? I bet it even pisses you off that I would mentally drag you into it this way. But that is exactly what happened to my daughter and it is happening every day to little girls all across this country (somebody’s baby girl). When my daughter was rescued her tox screens were so high they were afraid to give her aspirin because she might overdose. She was out of her mind in a Psych ward for three solid days... and she still remembers to this day most if not all that happened to her… and probably will until the day she dies.

I am not certain what to do to make a difference… but I feel the need to do something. There is a link to information at the end of the Linda Smith interview that may be a good place to start…

Won’t you join me? It is always just another number until it happens to you or someone you know. But no matter whom it happens to… it is happening to one of God’s little innocent babies.

We can’t let people do this to our children!



Not long after my daughter’s ordeal in anger and frustration I wrote a song that a friend of mine put to music and sang, ‘Evil Hands’. If you want to hear it you can click on the link below, the lyrics are below that.

Evil Hands http://www.soundclick.com/util/getplayer.m3u?id=4946330&q=hi

Evil Hands:

Vs. 1
A crooked finger across the lips
To steal the cries of a new born babe,
Eyes in shadow stare
Lusting for innocence
Watching children play.

Chorus
Evil hands rocked creations’ cradle
Innocence stolen by Satan’s fable
Evil hands, there still robbing today
Prying Innocent children away.

Vs. 2
Youth is stolen in his twisted grip
A pool of blood marks the youth that dies.
Innocence shattered
Stained in Perversion
Youth forever lost

Chorus
Evil hands rocked creations’ cradle
Innocence stolen by Satan’s fable
Evil hands, there still robbing today
Prying Innocent children away.

Bridge: 1
We must rise up and make a stand
for Youth that dies robbed by Evil hands.
Lives forever stained
We must rise up and make a stand
for Youth that dies robbed by Evil hands.
Lives forever stained

Chorus
Evil hands rocked creations’ cradle
Innocence stolen by Satan’s fable
Evil hands, there still robbing today
Prying Innocent children away.

Bridge: 2
‘Yeah’ & Evil roams the land today
Our children suffer the price that’s paid
As we watch in silence
Evil hands steal innocence away.
We must rise up and make a stand
for Youth that dies robbed by Evil hands.
Lives forever Changed
Lives forever Changed
