Super Bowl XLV Sex

This morning our part of the world was covered by several inches of beautiful white snow.
That was an interesting backdrop to the news that I read about the upcoming Super Bowl XLV.  I learned via Fox News and other sources that Super Bowl XLV is anticipated to be a huge target for Human [Sex] Trafficking activity.  That is to say that that there are people out there enslaving children and selling their bodies for profit.  According to Traffic911, the average life expectancy for a child forced into sexual slavery is 7 years.

If you know anyone going to the Super Bowl, please encourage them to participate in the "I'm Not Buying It!" Tail Gate party, Saturday, February 5th.  At this event, you will learn how to help put a stop to the buying and selling of American children.

If the stories about the Super Bowl Human Trafficking weren't bad enough, the Planned Parenthood organization makes it even worse by endorsing sex ring activity.  The following two videos tell the whole story.





If you are planning to enjoy the Super Bowl either from home or in person, please pray for our and take action to protect our nation's children.  If you see children at risk that are exhibiting any of the following Red Flags, call 911 and the National Human Trafficking Hotline, 1.888.373.7888, if you suspect something. It’s better to be wrong than not to report it. A life might just depend on it.
