• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

I posted this in the spirit filled forum, however thought it would be also relevant here as well

The video is based on the real life story of 'Constance' a 13 year old from the philipines I think, who thought she was going to work in a factory and ended up in the sex industry

Warning, after I watched this, was left with the overwhelming urge to want to throw things, so if you are not in a good place then dont watch at the moment. Its powerful, however its quite harrowing:(:cry:

It always makes me so angry when I hear people trying to justify child porn as a safe option, yet they fail to comprehend that in order for them to get their child porn, children have to be abused. Pocessing child porn is not a less horrible crime and should be treated the same way as actual sexual abuse

My sister is called Constance...:( So I'm not going to watch it.

I have a link sort of related to this..Stop the Traffick has released it's Good Chocolate guides...which are guides to chocolates which are guaranteed not to include slaves in their production.

http://www.stopthetraffik.org/chocolatecampaign/guide.aspx

My church is also spear heading a campaign in my region in Aus to raise some funds to expand the Salvation Army center their for homeless kids...it's pretty pathetic - they only have 25 places for like I don't know thousand and thousands of kids. And there's always a danger of it being shut down.

Sorry for highjacking the thread...back to the topic at hand...

: mrjmedeiros

This is his website http://www.mrjmedeiros.com/

It made me angry, because of the dimwits who try to justify their collections of kiddy porn, somehow saying that its a lesser offense. However kids still have to be abused for this to be made. I think pocessors of child porn should get the same sentences as those who abuse

Mostly it made me cry though

Can it be sticked maybe

I finally got the courage to watch this today. Courage I say because I knew it would deeply affect me. Not only could I relate to Constance, but my own father purchased an Asian "mail order bride" in the past....

God- please help us!
