All Christians reading this, I call upon you to pray earnestly for Him to restore the bodies and minds of these precious young ladies.

This is related to PG as it is about CURRENT child sexual slavery / child sex trafficking. I think what is going on in the Middle East is one of the biggest PG stories going on right now, and it does not get enough attention. I'm actually infuriated that the article is titled " Women in Shock after returning from Isis Sex Slavery", then the article proceeds to talk about CHILDREN who were sexually trafficked.

I know we don't have a lot of NYT fans here, but stories about this are rampant and can be found in great number from many sources

I don't know what to say. There are no words to describe how I feel after reading this. Empty and Angry. This is Tragic. Thank you for sharing otherwise I would never have known. Thank God she has her family.

Thanks for making the world a better place

Don't you just want to take all of these children that we read about into your heart, into your home and try to make things right? Then I realize that they will be taken from where they grew, from what is in their hearts and life. We cannot replace everything that was lost. We cannot fix everything that was done. It breaks my heart. We are doing the best that we can. Thank you for the article. I shall not forget her.

And she's just ONE of them. Ugh. But yes. And thanks for posting. It's a real resolve strengthener.

It has to make us think, she is just one child. People wonder why some Muslims are angry at us. This is one explanation. How would we feel if they did to us, what we did to them. People have believed all the lies our govt told us. When the truth comes out about 911 I wonder what will happen. People will just go back to work and gather around the water cooler? Maybe. We should all forgive each other for both sides in these countries, ours and theirs have lied through their teeth. Making us hate each other. Stories like this one should wake everyone up. Sadly not many will know her story.

I think most Americans understand that not all Muslims are terrorists, even ones who espouse beliefs we strongly disagree with. Even those of us who are in favor of a ban on immigration from certain counties don't hate the citizens. We just need time to sort things out. We don't yet have a system in place to keep the bad apples out. As a Christian, I believe we are all His children and all loved. It is His wish that we love one another. Even when it is hard.

Probably most do, I agree. I see quite a bit of racism on here though from day to day. Some just barely touch on it, and some are down right nasty. If I say anything, I get immediate retaliation and down voated. I also love all races, and respect everyone's choice of religion. I am Catholic but do not attend Church. I pray at home. I pray for the children everyday and for all members of voat, that they stay safe as we fight every day to end this horrible scourge upon the world. I am glad to know that we have such a wonderful person among us. Have an Upvoat. Yes, God created all and he loves us all. He is a good teacher. We should listen. We should all listen to Him.

Amen.
