There's likely a human trafficking taskforce active in your area, wherever you live. I used to live in Genesee County, Michigan, there is a multi-agency taskforce there called GCHTTF that liaisons with the public through churches, unfortunately, in the area.. Since I've been gone from there another project has been started called GHOST, Genesee Human Oppression Strike Team, and they're making arrests.
I support the secular side of these special forces, but having been mentally, emotionally, spiritually abused by religion for most of my life I don't see what that side is doing as beneficial.. Actually, I see it as swapping physical slavery and abuse for what I experienced. So to me the churches can fuck off, fucking vultures.
Sorry to hear your experiences. I was in a catholic orphanage when I was younger, 7 or 8 with 3 of my younger siblings. When my mom managed to get us back out, I has a hate for nuns. I was not sexually abused but did get whacked with a long cane a few times because I would not go to sleep. I became a Christian as a teen and have seen some not so nice things in churches, but I have also seen some excellent work helping 100s of people over the past 40+ years, life changing for the good in most. I have come to the conclusion that there are good, bad and ugly in every sphere of life, we just have to discern and expose the bad, especially if it harms others. It has not wavered my faith, and am happy I am a Christian with a great relationship with my God, through Jesus and His Holy Spirit.
