The 4-6% being the lost that we’re found/saved/removed from abuse. Those trafficked and their amount of suffering and YEARS of abuse that has broken them forever. Perhaps 4-6% of those trafficked can not be healed, no matter the amount of safely, love, help. For all I know, some of these were “bred” for abuse… if you had never known compassion, love, safety, Gods healing message how would you comprehend that once removed from trafficking. It would take YEARS, if not a lifetime, perhaps not ever able to heal fully.

I am afraid you are right. God's love can heal the soul, which is immortal, but the abuse can last forever. There is a thing called ACE that some aware doctors use to assess guidelines for treatment, Adverse Childhood Experience affects the immune system, the cortisol levels, etc. Some of these children will always need some sort of support for the rest of their lives. Some will be driven to psychopathy, and some have shut down forever, turned into a vegatative state. I pray that there will be good people who can commit to nurturing them regardless of the behaviors that may come up, the rage that will come up, and the testing that these kids can do to caregivers. Right now, in the foster care system, there are not enough good people to deal with these kids, and in too many cases, the abuse continues. I remember a book called "When Love Is Not Enough", which dealt with the subject of trauma in children. We need a time for collective prayer, a day, an hour, that would work across the globe, to focus that healing energy of prayer for this problem. One day a week, a set time would work with all the time zones, as one time passes into another zone, it would work like a wave across the earth. Prayer changed the abortion laws in the USA, it took time.
I have a friend, who is close to 60 now. She was sexually abused as a child and suffers emotionally to this day. She has a loving husband, children, is a strong woman of faith. She does not take any type of prescription drugs. She is very well aware of what is going on in the world, what is going on with the children. It has sunk her into a depression. I wish I could do something to help her but I am at a loss. How do you overcome something like this? Especially to the degree many of these children have suffered.
