If I could give a 10 for this chapter, I would. It is some powerful writing on a very troubling and current subject. You did an excellent job and I can't wait to read more. Blessings Shirley

Thank you so much for such a fantastic review, such kind words. Unfortunately, this happens every day in our own back yards.
Thank you again for all your help, support, encouragement, and friendship. It always means the world to me, take care.
Comment from Sandra Stoner-Mitchell
I am so sorry I'm out of sixes, Misty. This is terrifying, we know it happens, we know the 'respectable' men and women are the ones doing it, but when you put one away, two more pop up. The worst is in God's houses, the monasteries, churches, children's clubs, all have these creeps preying on our children. That parents will sell their children for drugs, just breaks my heart. What are these people? Not human, that's for sure. You're writing is so real, Misty, it comes alive on the page. Well done, my friend. Sandra xxxx

hank you so much for reading my chapter, your encouraging words, and your virtual six-star. You put a smile on my face.
You're right they are like rodents, multiplying dozens at a time. A child isn' safe anywhere anymore that's for sure.

Comment from Robert Zimmerman
Hello Mistydawn.
The narrative that you provide here is informative and actually reads like an essay. I understand that the speaker is Anna but as she tells her story it is more like a documentary.
Since you mentioned the word "pimp" in this chapter, the city of Seattle just hired a former pimp, as a street czar. You can see this story in the New York Post. It's in other papers as well.

Thank you so much for reading my chapter. I will definitely take your comments into consideration. Maybe break the information up a bit? What an interesting turn of events with the czar. Being in the life at one time, I imagine he'd spot stuff the cops would overlook. If he is as sincere with his endeavors as he claims this could be a step in the right direction.
Thank you again for all your help, support, wise suggestions, and friendship. It always means so much to me, take care

They always say write about what you know, I'm just hoping you're winging this one and don't know a damn thing about any of it. But either way, you've got me glued to the screen. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you so much for such a marvelous review and such encouraging words. I've done a lot of research for this one. Most of what I read, heard brought me to tears.

Comment from Cindy Warren
It's true that Hollywood paints the perps as creeps in trenchcoats who lurk at parks and playgrounds. I know this isn't always true. In fact, most are known to the child, often in a position of trust. I think they're the scum of the Earth.
'Making them believe they are a couple.' is not a sentence. I'd combine it with the one before.

Comment from royowen
Yes, I went on a mission trip to Cambodia, were children are quite willingly sold into slavery of one kind or another, for the sake of extreme poverty that plague, the organisation is worthy of praise, they've strategies of alleviating the situation, by employment and education to ease the poverty, but it's only one of the strategies. Beautifully written, this is close to my heart, innocence must be protected. Well done, blessings Roy

Thank you so much for reading my chapter. I'm discovering that this happens all over the world including the great US. I don't know how any parent could do that to their babies knowing the outcome. Despite times, I suppose.

Hello Mistydawn
The way you are telling us readers how Anna tries to regain her freedom is terrifying and tell us of her trying to escape give me terrifying feeling, especially when Anna has Images of her, finally being free flash through her mind as she races towards freedom. What is going to take place?

Thank you so much for your kind review. It is terrifying what these poor kids go through. Many aren't as fortunate, don't make it out of the game the way she did. Most either commit suicide, die from a drug overdose or from aids.

Misty, you have written a vivid and horrifying tale of childhood sexual abuse and predatory sex offenders. The tale is hard to read but well thought out and logically explained. Thanks for taking this on ~ it must be hard.

Thank you so much for reading my chapter, horrifying as it is. It is a heartbreaking write, knowing what these poor babies go through. I've been binge-watching comedy, getting extra kitty kisses, cuddles from my babies and that helps a lot.
Thank you again for all your help, support, encouragement, and friendship. It always means the world to me, take care.
Comment from Mia Twysted
She has a lot of courage reliving these events. You can feel she wants others to understand what it is like so they have a clear picture of what is truly going on in the world.

Thank you so much for such an encouraging review. I do hope this story will raise awareness, make people take action, reach out to a lost soul. Anna is very brave for rehashing all these bad memories.
