Many people have contacted me (Opal Singleton) regarding the film, Sound of Freedom and wanted to know my thoughts about it. 

 Million Kids actually started by serving with Rapha International in Cambodia and we have first hand knowledge of how truly devastating it is for families and victims of sex trafficking where innocent children are often taken to far away places and exploited. As the film portrays, there are literally millions of kids around the globe that have been used in sexual exploitation, that have never been identified or rescued. This film also addresses the critical need for law enforcement around the globe to have better technology and more funding so they can dedicate the resources necessary to take on the evil of global sex

What is also important to recognize is that trafficking in the U.S. is usually very different than the scenario portrayed in this film. Many victims in the US meet their perpetrator through social media or a community location like a mall or school , and are seduced into believing they have a relationship.  They are then sexually violated, physically exploited, and sold by gangs and pimps for commercial sex. 

 Million Kids has spent years educating the public, schools, law enforcement, social workers, and the faith based community so young people will understand the grooming and recruitment process so we can keep our kids safe from predators. We appreciate each and every person that has been on the journey with us. And we appreciate the movie "Sound of Freedom".  We hope everyone goes to see it.  

DATING SITES AND HOOK UP SITES.

Victim conned out of $55K in romance scam on Plenty of Fish speaks out | Fox Business

Most programs provided by  Million Kids are focused on educating parents and first responders about young people staying safe online and preventing sex trafficking and sextortion. However, recently there has been a recent series of cases announced in the media where adults have become victims of romance scams or online dating scams.

During this week’s broadcast Opal Singleton, President of Million Kids will interview a guest by the name of “Carol” who is a an attractive, very successful, single, middle- age woman who has had a lot of experience with online dating sites.  Carol will share with the audience about signs to look for, that the individuals they meet online might be scam artists, blackmailers or overseas telemarketing centers looking to seduce single adults into believing they are in a legitimate relationship while conning them out of thousands of dollars. 

Opal and Carol discuss various schemes used by con artists to coerce the individual into believing they are in a real relationship and seducing them into sending money or arranging a dangerous meet up. They also discuss signs to look for if you believe you are being “catfished.  This is an entertaining and powerful broadcast that every single adult, regardless of age, should hear and share with friends.

Recently the FBI and ICE released a public service announcement alerting the public about “malicious actors manipulating photos and videos to create explicit content and sextortion schemes”.  Commonly known as “Deep Fakes,” individuals with criminal intent will electronically manipulate benign photographs or videos of individuals from images captured from an individual’s social media account, open internet, or requested from the victim.

The perpetrator then creates sexually themed images that appear true to life in likeness to the victim, then circulates the fake images through social media, public forms, or pornographic websites.  The victim is then blackmailed into sending actual erotic images they made or coming up with large sums of money to stop the blackmail and harassment. 

Historically these sextortion efforts are generated by foreign national telemarketing centers located in poor, third world countries and are operating to generate millions of dollars in illegal funding for organized criminal enterprises.

As technology becomes more complex, and the entire world is connected by 5G high speed internet, and more young people have access to online communications,  it is more urgent than ever, for young people to understand what is at the heart of the “deep fakes” sextortion scheme, and learn to take every precaution so they will not become victims.
