Nadia Rose Fuller went into foster care in January 2020.  Her mother was a single mom doing her best to raise 3 small children with no help from the children’s’ fathers. One day it got to the point where Jessica knew she could not do everything she needed to do for the proper care of her 3 small children.  SO, after a few discussions with a friend of hers, she decided to give temporary guardianship over to her friend Tara who was more than capable of caring for the 2 older of the 3 little children.  The youngest is Zane and he has a different father than the older two, but since he is incarcerated at the time, he is unable to help.  But he has family who tried to help as much as they could.  They agreed to take Zane back in November 2019.  Meanwhile while all the children were well taken care of Jessica proceeded to try and get back on her feet.  She got a job and was working on establishing a residence where she could comfortably raise all three of the younger children.  But before she had time to do that, she received a call from the oldest of the three’s school that Jimmie had been sick.  They had taken Jimmie home without any contact to the temporary guardian and found there was nobody there.  So they took Jimmie back to school and then reached out to Jessica and then to Child Protection Services, where CPS took it upon themselves to open a case up against Jessica even though she had signed a temporary guardianship agreement plan with her friend Tara.

They state removed the kids back in January 2020 and gave Jessica the biological mother a case plan to do sighting she did not provide adequate care and abandoned her children with an unfit care giver.   First, there is no proof Tara, who Jessica gave temporary guardianship to, was inadequate by any means.  The children were   well cared for the only reason she was not home when the school tried to drop of Jimmie was because she was at court that morning.  But, once again the school assumed and acted upon that.  Even though the school was fully aware of the temporary guardianship.  They just made up their mind and made a call that did not need to be made.

Jessica just recently found out 3 days after the fact mind you that Nadia had fallen off the monkey bars and broke her arm. My number one question is who lets a 3-year-old climb the monkey bars without supervision?  Second how does one fall off the monkey bars land on her face and not even bust her lips open?  She dislocates her arm.  This totally makes no sense to me at all.  Then when Jessica brought it to her case workers attention and demanded her daughter be removed from the foster care home she was in; her words went ignored. She also later found out that the day Nadia dislocated her arm she was put under general anesthetic to put the arm back into place.  The very next day Nadia had a dental appointment to put caps on her baby teeth, totally unnecessary procedure but once one again put under general anesthetic. Twice in 48 hours for general anesthetic for a three-year-old is way overboard.  It is not recommended to but small children under anesthetic at all let alone twice so close together.

Again, Jessica was on the phone to the case worker demanding her child get removed immediately it was obvious where Nadia was at, she was in imminent danger from the people who were supposed to protect her.

And then today when there was supposed to be another supervised visit, only her son was there not Nadia. She asked the visitation person where Nadia was, and she was told her daughter was out of town for a funeral and would not return for two weeks.  Wait what?  With Corvid going on what do mean she is at a funeral; they are not really doing the funeral thing right now.  And for a couple weeks who goes to a funeral for a couple weeks?

Jimmie has already been in his proper temporary home for almost a week now, yet his sister is still with the same foster family.  SO, what in the hell gives?  The foster home she should already be at happens to be a close friend of the family.  Who already had her foster care license? And had already completed a home study. Yet CPS made her do another.

It has now been over a week since Jessica has seen or heard from her daughter Nadia.  She has called case workers, ombudsman, and all to no avail.  I know she has an appointment to speak with Ombudsman on the phone tomorrow at 11 am.  I hope they have some good news for her, because I fear what will happen if they do not.

Every day somewhere in the paper there are stories about children getting killed in foster homes, all over the county.  Then there is the sex trafficking that Child Protection Services is beginning to look like a major player in that game if you ask me.  I know they are selling kids to the highest bidder; how else do you explain all the foster kids that just seemed to disappear out of thin air?  There is no other explanation.  And God forbid, something like that happens to Nadia.  So, you see the great concern for her wellbeing, and not knowing to me in immediate danger. Child Protection Services take children away from [parents on less.

I recently read that Arizona alone is missing so many foster care children’s it makes me sick.

Well I got an update on the whole case today.  Jessica had another hearing postponement and she finally was able to talk to Nadia. Only now there is a new allegation, that supposable Nadia said in counseling that someone touched her “Honey”.  In other words, her private area.  Are you kidding me here it cannot be any clearer what is going on here, that foster home is no good, just like we knew from the start?  Something terrible is happening there to Nadia and they continue to drag their feet to get her the hell out of there, and do you know what that tells me? That Child Protection Services know what is going on there and they are a part of it.  Even not stopping it immediately makes you guilty of it even without physically taking part in the abuse.  Just allowing it to happen that is abuse.  Child Protection like to throw around failure to protect in parents face if a child is allegedly hurt and mother knows nothing about it.  Why are they not held accountable for failure to protect?  That was the whole point when Child Protection Services stole the child from the parents to begin with, isn’t it?

I am so beyond angry right now.  And I just want parents to realize this stuff is happening in foster care all over the freaking world. People need to wake up and see what is really going on, right there under their noses.

I want to thank my friend Jessica for granting me permission to tell the world what is happening to her daughter Nadia right now in foster care. I am tired of hearing people bitching about the broken Child Protection Services Corruption.  Enough complaining, it is time to do something about it. How many of our innocent children must suffer and unfortunately die before we say enough is enough?

I will upload with this statement screen caption to show the entire Nadia missing incident. They are screen caption of the text messages between Jessica and her Child Protection services caseworker.

Child Protection and Development Child Trafficking

• End Trafficking

Haiti

UNICEF/NYHQ2011-2241/MARCO DORMINO

Child victims of trafficking are recruited, transported, transferred, harbored or received for the purpose of exploitation. They may be forced to work in sweatshops, on construction sites or in houses as domestic servants; on the streets as child beggars, in wars as child soldiers, on farms, in traveling sales crews or in restaurants and hotels. Some are forced to work in brothels and strip clubs or for escort and massage services.
Putting a stop to all forms of child trafficking is critical to UNICEF's work.

Child trafficking in the U.S.

Trafficking is not just an issue that happens to people in other countries. The United States is a source and transit country, and is also considered one of the top destination points for victims of child trafficking and exploitation. Cases of human trafficking have been reported in all 50 U.S. States; anyone can be trafficked regardless of race, class, education, gender, age, or citizenship when forcefully coerced or enticed by false promises.

UNICEF's work in child protection

To protect children from exploitation, risk factors such as poverty and discrimination need to be addressed. UNICEF's efforts in countries around the world include:

• Helping to provide a living wage for parents so that their children do not have to work to support the family and can attend school instead
• Lobbying governments and other partners to develop laws and strengthen child protection systems to prevent and respond to violence and abuse
• Advocating for the legal birth registration of all newborns
• Working with communities and faith-based organizations to change harmful societal norms that make children more vulnerable to exploitation
• Supporting the training of professionals working with children including social workers, health workers and police and border officials to help stop trafficking

How to Help Stop Child Trafficking

 

Protect children from exploitation

Now more than ever, children need protection from predatory criminals who turn the vulnerability and desperation of their victims into big business. Human trafficking — the buying and selling of people for exploitative purposes — thrives in times of conflict and crisis, according to a study of 142 countries released by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC).
"Human trafficking has taken on horrific dimensions as armed groups and terrorists use it to spread fear and gain victims to offer as incentives to recruit new fighters," says Yury Fedotov, Executive Director of UNODC,  citing child soldiers, forced labor and sexual slavery as examples.

 

Though it’s not clear how improvements in detection, recording and reporting methods have contributed to the rise, the conditions that put children at risk are clear. Turning war, political corruption, poverty and natural disasters to their advantage, traffickers are now generating approximately $39 billion annually on the exploitation of children alone.
According to the latest global estimates, 152 million children are in child labor and 25 million adults and children are in forced labor, including in global supply chains. One in four victims of modern slavery are children.
Whether it is the trafficking of Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh, the exploitation of Central American migrants bound for the United States, the sexual enslavement of women and girls in Europe, or the forced labor of sub-Saharan Africans or refugees from the Middle East, desperate families and individuals often feel they have little choice but to risk exploitation in an effort to survive.

What Every Parent Needs to Know About Child Sex Trafficking

Child Sex Trafficking-Not My Child

Mom shakes her head and Dad raises his voice. Their 16-year old daughter storms up the stairs. As the bedroom door slams, she collapses on the bed with phone in hand. She’s ready to vent her frustrations one status update at a time.
With every angst-laden tap of the keyboard, she lays bare her soul:
“Nobody here gets me.” “No one understands!” “I feel unloved.”
An hour later, a boy from the next town over reaches out. She doesn’t know him, but they’ve got a few mutual friends, so it’s probably no big deal. He’s cute and thoughtful. And, he seems to understand what she’s going through better than anyone else.
For the next two weeks, they exchange messages every day. He’s sweet, a digital shoulder to cry on when nobody else seems to care. They decide to meet up in person, so she borrows Dad’s car “to meet some friends at the mall.”
That night, Daddy’s little girl doesn’t come home for dinner and Mom sits up all night. The next morning, they call the police. An officer searches her computer and finds evidence of the girl’s new relationship. Turns out, the boy she thought she knew didn’t exist.
And, just like that, she’s gone.

Reality check about child sex trafficking

At ERASE, we hear heartbreaking tales like this all too frequently. Stories from average families dealing with everyday stresses when out of nowhere, their child is lured right out from under them.
Whenever we tell these stories, the most common response goes something like this:
“Child trafficking is something that happens to those types of kids out there. We live in a great community and our neighbors are good people who look out for one another. Something like that could never happen to one of my children.”
This is the kind of response that makes us cringe. If only parents knew what we know, they wouldn’t be so quick to ignore this real and pervasive threat. Sadly, that very ignorance is what traffickers count on most when looking for children to target.
The danger is far more imminent than most parents recognize. If we’re going to protect our children, we need to be clear on the real threats child traffickers impose.

Traffickers are Smart, Motivated, and Tech-Savvy

A dark and horrific market has grown up around the purchase and sale of human beings. Researchers estimated that, in 2007, Atlanta’s underground sex economy alone brought in $290 million. Even in a far less “saturated” market, sex trafficking in San Diego enables a pimp to pull in over $11,000 per week.
Fast forward 10 years and there’s no reason to think that number hasn’t grown.
Innocent children aren’t given a pass here. Instead, the most vulnerable among us are routinely bought and sold like property—many of them up to 15 times a day. With business booming, traffickers are working harder than ever to keep up with demand. Leaving no stone unturned, they use social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Snapchat, to research, target, and groom children for sexual exploitation. In fact, 77% of sex trafficking victims report having been initially approached online.
Just as a skilled marketer uses sophisticated keyword searches to identify his audience, traffickers monitor social media for anything at all that would suggest an easy target:

• Children with social media profiles open to public viewing
• Teenagers posting introspective status updates about feelings of insecurity
• Boys and girls who are venting about arguments with their parents

Like a lion crouched in his thicket, a predator will scan through lines of text looking for vulnerable children to drag off into the tall grass. How many of those lines will have come from one of your children?

Yes, your child can be a victim of sex trafficking

The children that traffickers rip from their happy homes aren’t pretend characters on television or disembodied faces from the evening news. They’re our kids, the ones we work hard to raise and the ones we hope to see grow up happy and healthy.
They’re the kids we teach to be smart, to mind their surroundings, and never talk to strangers. And yet, we give them free reign to explore every dark corner of the internet via their cell phone.

We must do better

Little more than half of parents closely monitor their children’s online activity. So, when a stranger asks to connect on Snapchat, it’s nearly an even shot that no one will be looking over that kid’s shoulder. You can count on a child trafficker to take that bet.
Do you know which platforms your children are using or who they connect with online? Do they have any secret accounts and how would you find out if they did? If someone asked to meet in person, would they do it? Can you be sure?
These questions may seem intrusive and even overbearing. However, considering the reality of child trafficking in the United States, we have to ask these questions.  Every day, thousands of children disappear into slavery. We’d like to hope our kids could never be victims but the facts simply don’t allow us that option. Understanding the facts of child trafficking is the first and most important step in prevention.

There is Hope

Good people around the world are standing up and fighting back against this great moral evil. You don’t have to live in constant fear for your children. The story we shared at the beginning of this post doesn’t have to be your story. And with some common sense and the will to step intentionally into your kids’ digital lives, you can protect them from becoming a victim of sex trafficking.

The question is: will you?

At ERASE, we want to educate parents on how best to protect their children from online predators. Please take a look at our tips and best practices pages to see how you can teach your children to be safe online.

Juvenile Delinquent or Victim of Human Trafficking?

Story of a Human Trafficking Victim

It’s midnight. Officer Scott pulls his patrol car into the lot of a small, 24-hour convenience store. As he approaches, he peers through the decal-laden glass door to see a middle-aged man struggling to restrain an agitated 16-year old girl. The store owner had caught this young woman and her boyfriend stuffing items into a small handbag. Her companion—a ‘white man in his late 20’s’—had bolted out the door without so much as a backward glance. The last thing on Officer Scott’s mind was “human trafficking victim”.
Scott had seen this before. Some young teenager, looking for thrills, decides to pocket a few items from the local bodega and gets grabbed by the watchful owner.
As he escorts the girl to his police car, Scott’s treated to an earful. She can’t stop going on about what a jerk he is, how he had violated her rights, and how much trouble she’d be in if he didn’t let her go right away. “Just wait until I call your parents,” he thinks.

The Same Routine

When they arrive at the station, Scott walks this young woman to his desk. She can hear the snide remarks of a few men handcuffed to chairs nearby. As they leer conspicuously at her, she shrinks further into herself.  Scott starts in on his typical line of questioning: name, age, address, and so on. The entire time, her phone buzzes with one text message after another. She begs Scott to let her reply, but he refuses. “There’ll be plenty of time to talk to your parents later.”
“I’m not worried about them,” she snaps back. “They don’t give a crap about me, anyway. They’re too busy arguing to even notice I’m around.”
Not sure what to make of that outburst, Scott begins to sort through the items she had attempted to steal: a sleeve of Hostess Cup Cakes, a Red Bull, and a box of condoms.
“Must be one heck of a boyfriend to leave you there like that, huh?”
“You wouldn’t understand. He loves me. He takes care of me.”
Angry and frustrated by this girl’s bad attitude and ignorance about that poor excuse for a boyfriend, Officer Scott escorts her to a holding cell and prepares to process her out.

Is This the End of the Story?

 For most police officers, this scene is a familiar one—a young kid gets mixed up with the wrong person and finds him or herself on the wrong side of the law.
In virtually every case, this would be the end of the story. The young girl would get a slap on the wrist and be released into her parents’ custody where they could, presumably, set her straight.
And, at this point in our story, Officer Scott was prepared to do just that—to trust the overwhelming testimony of prior experience and process this girl out so that he could get on with his shift.
But, something was different this time…

Discerning the Signs

As Officer Scott sits down to file his paperwork, he’s reminded of last Tuesday’s roll call.  His Sergeant, having recently attended a training seminar on human trafficking, used that day to teach his officers how to identify potential trafficking situations.
All of a sudden, alarm bells start going off in Scott’s mind:
The Fear — Sure, a kid’s going to be afraid of the consequences. But, this girl seems to fear for her physical safety. She’s acting like there’s something worse waiting for her than an angry mom and dad at home.
The Stolen Merchandise – Why did she need a Red Bull and a pack of condoms? Scott recalled that traffickers use starvation to control their victims. Usually, their only choice is to steal the bare necessities.
The Boyfriend – Per the owner’s description, this guy was at least 10 years older than she. What were they doing there together in the first place?

A New Approach

With these things in mind, Scott calmly invites the young lady out of holding and brings her to a quieter part of the station, away from prying eyes and menacing glances.
She looks cold, so Scott hands her a sweatshirt. As he does, he notices a small tattoo of a crown with the name ‘Hugo’ scrawled beneath it—likely a brand to show who ‘she belongs to.’
They start to chat. This time, he speaks less like a cop and more like a friend.
Clearly, she hasn’t had anything to eat for quite a while. Moments later, a female officer appears with a bag from McDonald’s. The three make their way to a private lounge. As they talk, the girl lets her guard down. Scott listens as she describes her broken home life, struggles with friends at school, and her constant search for belonging.
All the while, her phone continues to buzz.
“Your boyfriend?”
“Yes. He just wants to make sure I’m ok.”
He really is a great guy, she explains. He’s been there for her when her parents weren’t. He shows her the affection and attention she needs. She feels protected. He loves her……only, sometimes he makes her do things—things she would ordinarily never do.

Trust

Having earned at least a glimmer of trust, Scott asks if she would slide her phone over. Reluctantly, she does, and he begins to scroll through the text messages.
Wisely, Scott checks his emotions before he begins to read. It doesn’t take him long to realize these are not the supportive words of a loving boyfriend. No, they’re the verbal assaults of a degenerate thug bent on belittling her into submission. Scott does his best to hide his disgust as he reads about threatened consequences for ‘missed quotas.’ Horrified, he sees insults that no human being should ever have to endure, capped off by threats against her little sister for talking to the cops.
Officer Scott thanks the young woman for her trust and politely excuses himself to make a call. He can read the writing on the wall: this girl is clearly a victim of trafficking. She needs someone with much more experience than him to help regain her freedom.
He picks up the phone, dials his Sergeant, and together, they get to work.

What Made the Difference?

This story, though generalized in some ways, is rooted in the accounts we hear from police officers every day. The first part of the story is common enough. But, what about the second when, in Scott’s eyes, the girl goes from ‘shoplifter’ to ‘trafficking victim’?
Not so much.
So, how do we get from A to B? How do we help police officers learn to look at each ‘punk kid’ as a potential victim, to ask deeper questions, and find the real story lies beneath the surface?
Just as in Officer Scott’s story, that turning point comes when an officer recognizes the signs, trusts his or her gut, and decides to unravel that thread. It all starts with that one officer—a soldier on the front lines of the underground battle to set captives free.
This can only happen when officials at every level of law enforcement learn to detect the signs and receive the tools they need to bring trafficking victims out of the cruel darkness and into the liberating light of day.

National Human Trafficking Law Enforcement Training Program

At ERASE, one of the most impactful things we do is train police departments so that they produce more officers like the one in this story. It’s our mission to educate officers to detect the warning signs, identify potential victims, and safely lead them to freedom.  Your donations make this possible.

Tips for Keeping Kids Safe

What we can do as parents, teachers, and adults to protect our kids:
1. Educate your kids about human trafficking. That it is here, what it looks like and to talk to you or another responsible adult if they think they see it. If they are able, have them read In Our Backyard. It will help them recognize the indicators.
2. Communicate with your kids, and let them talk to you without judgment. They need to know they are safer with you than anywhere else. One rule we had with our children was that if they did something wrong and they told us before we found out, they might have some consequences but their punishment would be less than if we found out another way.
3. Technology is a big part of how sex trafficking happens with youth. Know your kid’s passwords, know what is on their phone. A good rule is “as long as you live under our roof, we have access to passwords, emails, texts, etc.” Your child’s privacy is important but so is their safety. If you talk to parents whose children have been sex trafficked, without exception, they will all tell you they wish they had monitored their computers, cell phone and activities on social media.

4. Technological devices now exist which include: GPS tracking devices which can be placed on phones, clothes, and in backpacks which help parents and authorities track your child and find them when they first go missing. DNA scent kits which can be used to help authorities and dogs track a scent trail.
5. Know your kid’s friends. Have them over to your home. Feed them a pan of brownies, a batch of cookies and sit down and talk with them. Know where they hang out and what they are like.
6. Get youth involved in positive things, community groups, sports, music, community service, and church youth groups. Surround them with positive peer pressure.

Gang Involved-Sex Trafficking

Watch this online training to learn how gangs are trafficking women and girls for sex.

Indicators of Human Trafficking in the Lives of Those Around You:

Situation: Teens whose circle of friends change completely and their new friends may have a gangster or provocative look
Solution: Know your kid’s friends, don’t be afraid to be the parent and say no.

Situation: Teen receives an offer that sounds too good to be true — a dream life, fancy cars, fancy clothes, fast living for seemingly nothing
Solution: Keep in good communication with your children, do things with them to build relationship and help them understand it’s important to discuss with you any opportunities such as the one in this situation.

---

Situation: Kids have increased and unexplained absences from school.
Solution: Work with school to ascertain what is happening and cooperate with the school so you can find your child immediately in an unexplained absence.

Situation: Kids are bringing home new cell phones as gifts from a new friend.
Solution: Find out where the cell phones came from, confiscate them, and contact authorities if necessary.

---

Situation: Girls, especially teens with a new boyfriend who may be several years older
Solution: Restrict contact with him. If that doesn’t work consider relocating your child to protect them. (You may contact IN OUR BACKYARD) if you need information about relocation services.

---

Situation: Kids/teens come home with unexplained money or gifts.
Solution: Find out where they came from. Bring in outside help from counselors, relatives or others who can help. Don’t ignore or hide this to save reputation. Get help!

Situation: New tattoos
Solution: Find out who did the tattoo, find out who was with them for the tattoo and what does it mean? Who else has the same tattoo?

GOP senator: AZ foster kids are being sold into sexual slavery

By

Jim Small

-

October 4, 2019

A conservative Republican senator who is convinced that the Arizona Department of Child Safety is facilitating the global sex trafficking of children removed from negligent parents called the police on one of his GOP colleagues, alleging that she threatened his life.

Sen. David Farnsworth, a Republican from Mesa, filed a report with the Arizona Department of Public Safety this week accusing Sen. Kate Brophy McGee, R-Phoenix, of threatening him if he didn’t stop investigating the outrageous claim. The news was first reported by Yellow Sheet Report, a high-priced insider newsletter aimed at lobbyists and government officials.

Farnsworth told Yellow Sheet that he has been looking into how DCS “lost” more than 550 children last year, roughly half of whom are categorized as either runaways or otherwise missing. The rest appear to be flagged for paperwork errors.

He said he fears the children have been abducted and sold into a global sex trafficking ring, and said he has been holding meetings with DCS, critics of the agency and fellow lawmakers, including Brophy McGee.

Farnsworth acknowledged his beliefs were outlandish, but he said it’s not a conspiracy theory. He told Yellow Sheet that he didn’t believe DCS officials were actively selling children into sexual slavery, but that they are being lax at protecting children from predators who will do so. 

While he said he hopes his meetings ultimately prove him wrong, Farnsworth said he is more convinced than ever that Arizona children removed from their parents and put into group homes or foster homes are being sex-trafficked, even though he told Yellow Sheet he has turned up no evidence. 

“When I first heard about this, I believed that children from Arizona (DCS) were ending up in sex trafficking. Now, after the research I’ve done, I’m confident of it,” he told Yellow Sheet. “But I can’t prove it.”

Farnsworth also alleged that two former Republican state senators from other states who were killed within days of each other earlier this year were “executed” because they were investigating links between their own states’ child protective agencies and global sex trafficking rings. 

There is no evidence that either ex-legislator was murdered for that reason. Linda Collins-Smith, a former senator from Arkansas, was killed by a close friend and former campaign aide. And Jonathan Nichols, a former senator from Oklahoma, died by suicide. 

The dispute between Farnsworth and Brophy McGee stems from what she said was a conversation in which she told her colleague that both she and her husband were concerned for her safety after some of Farnsworth’s allies in the child-sex-ring investigation began harrassing her and spreading rumors that she and others are involved in illicit child kidnapping schemes. Brophy McGee told the insider publication that Farnsworth’s compatriots are “unbalanced” and have forced her to have Senate security guards escort her to and from meetings about DCS, but Farnsworth has been unconcerned.

Bur Farnsworth told Yellow Sheet that, while he initially didn’t take Brophy McGee’s comments seriously, he decided to file a complaint with DPS because the “best deterrent to a threat is for more people to be aware of it.”
