THE TRAGEDY OF MENTAL ILLNESS

My brother died recently with a mental illness, and I want to shine a light on mental illness because it is ignored, and it affects 5 out of 10 families in the United States. For that reason, I will start an educational scholarship GoFundMe account, allowing anyone to donate and receive support.  Here is the link: https://www.gofundme.com/f/alfonse-green-mental-health-fund/donate

When a trafficker begins to prey on a new victim, there is a 5-stage approach they will take to “train” the victim. The 5-stages of human trafficking are luring, grooming and gaming, coercion and manipulation, exploitation, and lastly, recruitment.

These fundamental principles and concepts relate to all forms of trafficking in persons, including forced labor and sex trafficking. In the case of child sex trafficking, the consent of the victim is never relevant, as a child cannot legally consent to commercial sex.  Learn learn how you can help.
