Public Rejecting EV’s, Demise of the Sports Section, California & Child Trafficking

by

Listen to “Public Rejecting EV’s, Demise of the Sports Section, California & Child Trafficking” on Spreaker.

Hillsdale College Radio General Manager and Radio Free Hillsdale Hour Host Scot Bertram is in for Jim today. After a quick discussion of ethics concerns over the Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor’s staff working to push her book sales, they applaud the independence of the American consumer for buying the vehicles that work best for them – and that means not many of them are buying electric vehicles for a lot of good reasons. They also shake their heads as the New York Times kills is printed sports section altogether and the Los Angeles Times will not longer have game stories, box scores, or standings – you know, the sports content that actually matters. Finally, they recoil as Democrats in California reject legislation to require stiffer penalties for trafficking children. The left is also trying to reduce interest in the anti-trafficking film “Sound of Freedom.” But why?

Beyond Epstein: Internet is Front Lines of Child Sex Trafficking Nightmare

by

Listen to “Beyond Epstein: Internet is Front Lines of Child Sex Trafficking Nightmare” on Spreaker.

The indictment of Jeffrey Epstein on child sex trafficking charges is drawing a lot of attention. It should draw attention to the fact that child sex trafficking is a booming business in the United States.

But how do predators and traffickers find children to target? How do adults find kids to abuse sexually and pay more than two billion dollars a year to do it? And what can parents do to protect their kids?

The common ingredient is the internet. While often a wonderful tool for learning and entertainment, the web can also be dangerous for kids.

In this podcast, we discuss the threats and the best preventive measures with Donna Rice Hughes of Enough is Enough.

Behind the Headlines: The Scourge of Child Sex Trafficking

Listen to “Behind the Headlines: The Scourge of Child Sex Trafficking” on Spreaker.

The media and political junkies are closely following the horrific allegations of child sex trafficking filed against longtime political operative and fundraiser Jeffrey Epstein.

But while partisans wait to see which famous figures might be tarred by the Epstein scandal, the horrific case is a sobering reminder that child sex trafficking is much bigger than Jeffery Epstein. In fact, American adults spend more than two billion dollars a year to sexually abuse children.

How did the problem get so big? How are the kids lured into this nightmare? How is there a demand for this? And what can parents do to protect their kids? We discuss all these questions with Angela Aufmuth of the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.

Essence of Evil – Part 1

by

Listen to “Essence of Evil – Part 1” on Spreaker.

Last month, Rutherford Institute President John Whitehead wrote a column that once again alerted the nation to a horrifying fact: that adults purchasing children for sex is a booming business in America.  He cited stomach-wrenching statistics like adults paying to rape kids 2.5 million times each year.  And while the statistics vary, there is no question that tens of thousands of American children are trapped in the sex trafficking trade and many more are at risk.

Whitehead’s column was entitled “The Essence of Evil: Sex with Children Has Become Big Business in America.”  We are borrowing that title for this series.  In the first of three installments on “Essence of Evil,”, we examine just how big the problem of child sex trafficking is, what these victims tragically endure, and how this has become big business.

Also, be sure to heart Part 2 of this series, in which we learn how children are lured by predators and traffickers.   We also tackle the disturbing question of why there such a huge demand among American adults for sex with children.

Finally, in Part 3 of “Essence of Evil,” we look at solutions to this crisis in our society and explore what lawmakers, law enforcement, communities, and families can do to protect children.

Listener discretion is advised, particularly if children are present.
