We have real cases that we can discuss.
|
|
I'll give you a brief example, a real case.
|
|
We'll call this girl Sarah.
|
|
Sarah's thirteen.
|
|
She has a deep desire to play on a soccer team.
|
|
She doesn't make the team, but she serves the team as kind of a water girl, right?
|
|
This predator notices this online, because she talks about that.
|
|
She talks that her sister makes the varsity team.
|
|
The predator starts affirming her, encouraging her for nine months until one day he shows up at her soccer game.
|
|
He flies two states over, takes a selfie with her in the background, doesn't introduce himself to her, goes back home.
|
|
Two weeks later, he sends her the selfie.
|
|
And he said, when your dad doesn't show up, I will show up.
|
|
You can trust me.
|
|
He's earning her favor.
|
|
She says to him online, you should have said hello.
|
|
There's such a deep desire for that child to be seen, to be affirmed.
|
|
So it's the exploitation of vulnerabilities.
|
|
Unfortunately, Gen Z display their vulnerabilities publicly.
|
|
It's not hidden.
|
|
They overshare publicly.
|
|
It's easy to read them.
|
|
And so that's why you see some of the movements in our country where it feels like, why would they just be swept up in a movement?
|
|
Because they can be.
|
|
Because they're looking for a purpose.
|
|
If the purpose is nefarious and it's an exploiter, they will always implicate the victim in the crime.
|
|
And here's what happens, Jan, that we've now determined unilaterally.
|
|
The second sexual exploitation happens to a person, whether it's a rape, as egregious as a rape, or repeated violation or trafficking, right?
|
|
We have to do better in this country looking at EQ, not IQ.
|
|
The emotional health of our nation is not good.
|
|
The first thing that happens to that person is guilt, shame, and condemnation floods them.
|
|
They feel guilty, but they're not the perpetrator.
|
|
They're the victim.
|
|
But that's the nature of humanity.
|
|
It's in Genesis 3.
|
|
It's biblical.
|
|
It's literally in Genesis when Adam and Eve realize they're naked, they hide from God because of what?
|
|
Shame, guilt, condemnation.
|
|
So now you have predators that are so good that they coerce the victims to feel, it's my fault, I did something.
|
|
This is why sextortion is exploding with young boys in our country.
|
|
Because they don't talk about it.
|
|
They get trapped.
|
|
And so it's really just an assessment of vulnerabilities.
