Trafficked By My Family: A Child Abuse Survivor's Story | Through Their Eyes

When Jane* was 11, her aunt forced her to perform sexual acts in front of a camera - an act of abuse that was streamed online to anonymous predators. Jane's story is just one of the many cases of online sexual abuse in the Philippines, where children -sometimes as young as two years old- are trafficked by their own families.
Jane recounts her trauma and shares her journey in stepping out of the darkness of her past.

Online sexual abuse is an extremely serious and sensitive issue that needs to be addressed.

I just clicked on this. I haven't started watching it. This happens more than most realize. People so.etimes only have children, to profit from them. I came from a family like that. Someone wanted me to share my story and I just learned to live with it myself. They say it will help me heal. So I started trying to see of I could Find anyone else that's been through similar life as me. Anyway, glad I seen this and now I'm gonna listen to her story. Please if you know someone going thru this help them escape. I tried to unaliveyself a total of 14 times. Not bc I wanted to die, but bc I wanted to escape what was happening to me. I grew up believing all families were like mine.

My kids are going through it and law enforcement does not believe me 😢

[@lil_light_warrior271]

@@stopspyingonmeML I'm really sry to hear this. I'm a survivor of this, is only reason I've been aware of it for so long. Do you have contact with your children? What makes you believe they are going thru this. Not trying to question u, just curious. I'm very passionate about saving ALL children. If I could I'd do way more. Anyway I'll keep you and your children in my prayers.

I WISH THAT MAKING A CHILD IS LIKE TRIGONOMETRY SO THAT STUPID PEOPLE CANNOT MAKE THEM

@@Harlem55 it doesn't make sense, because he killed lots of others kids, who were treasures too, but not for him, because they were jews.

[@Harlem55]

@@user-ru3og3bo6v it makes perfect sense: what that is saying in so many words is that if you can indoctrinate the children of any given society, you then by direct extension hold the keys to controlling that societies' norms and values. The implicit point being that a free society must give the child the right to make their own decisions when it comes to matters that are inevitably permitted with religion and philosophy- such as sexuality to the extent as that we do not reflexively impress our own religion and values upon a child as to attempt to indoctrinate them in a cookie cutter sense, which is what western society does in particular under the guise of mental health, all things carefully considered.

[@user-ru3og3bo6v]

@@Harlem55 I agree that we should give freedom in decisions to kids, but what I've meant is that Hitler's words look very weird when he killed so many children of other nations just because he thought they were not great to live and their race was "dirty". It's like all children are treasures but depending on their race.
