I am struggling with my understanding of God’s works in our world due to recent headlines. It may just be representation bias, but I’m getting a bit overwhelmed with how many human trafficking and sexual abuse stings have happened over just the last month.

3 pimps and 3 hotel workers indicted for running an underage prostitution ring in the Bronx for three years. One 16 year old girl was forced into 100 « dates » in a single year.

Eight men were arrested in Berks County, PA, just a couple of weeks ago for sex trafficking.

18 people were arrested in St. Petersburg, Florida.

Allegations of Covenant Presbyterian abusing and grooming children resurfacing due to the Nashville shooter.

Now the CDAN blind about the Two by Twos sexually abusing children around the world.

As more of this sex and human trafficking stuff comes to light, I’m feeling terrible guilt for not knowing this was so aggressively prevalent in society today, and not doing more to fix the problem. I’m only a 20 s/o female, so I might not be able to do as much as others, but I feel like I haven’t done enough.

And, in the face of Epstein and Maxwell still not facing true justice for their heinous crimes, on top of all of this news, I’m really struggling to understand how God has let these crimes, especially these crimes against children, go for so long.

How are you all keeping hope and faith as more atrocities come to light?
