America Claims to Care About Children, but Really Doesn’t

Americans claim to love and protect children, but that’s not true

I grew up believing in America and Americans, and that we were a country that takes care of our children. I no longer believe that is true. There’s so much current proof that we do not.

Epstein trafficking survivors

For instance, we claim we want to stop pedophiles from targeting and abusing children, yet the current administration is refusing to release the entirety of the Epstein grand jury and other files. By doing so, they aren’t protecting children and young girls who are still prey to those predators who participated in the Epstein trafficking and sexual abuse of young girls.

Those girls are now grown, and fortunately, some have found the courage to come forward and call for the release of the files. They have received death threats and other threats to gain their silence. They stepped forward as a group anyway.

I believe their goals extend beyond receiving justice. I think they want to end the trafficking of young girls for sexual purposes in the U.S. Bringing more perpetrators to justice will discourage other traffickers.
