I agree with a previous comment that stated that the title of the campaign could be revamped, as this is clearly a form of "Sexual Abuse". As disturbing as "Sex with Kids" sounds by saying "Stop Sex with Kids" makes it sound like a lifestyle choice, like "Stop Smoking". Perhaps "Sex with Kids is Child/Sexual Abuse" may be more fitting. However, regardless of the title, I am so thankful for the efforts and work that has gone into this valuable cause.

Serina, you've taken the first step by coming to this site and posting. Good for you. You need to take care of yourself and you don't need that kind of attention. Be good to yourself and the rest will follow. Your opinion is what matters the most. The positive attention you give yourself will lead you in a good direction. Never, ever, compare yourself to anyone else.

I agree with Mike from Toronto that the internet is the biggest obstacle. But, unfortunately that won't change. We need to get the information out there to the kids that this is not right and that they have a choice. They just need to know where to go or who to speak to about those choices. I'm in Toronto and I work on the front lines with both adults and youth who are at risk. I'll be doing more on my part to help.

I will start by having those around me aware that this is what is happening to our children. We need to stand up for the children. If we don't then we have done a very grave injustice.

This has to stop now!!!!! Child abuse and human trafficking laws need to become stronger to MAKE WINNIPEG STRONGER. We need to get the criminals (pimps/human traffickers) off the streets and put in jail with very tough penalties to insure that they are being punished for the numerous crimes they are committing: slavery, rape, torture, murder, and the spread of sexually transmitted dieses with each and every single victim and we need to get these young children and women off the streets so they are no longer having THEIR human rights taken away from them. Isn’t that what Canada is about is FREEDOM and being able to have and protect your human rights????? Well it seems to me that if 400 Winnipeg children and youth per year are forced into the sex slavery industry then I have serious doubts about Canada’s Human Rights Act. The government needs to strengthen the laws on the “Johns” as well they should not be getting a slap on the wrist. It is because of them as well that is making this an ongoing epidemic. If the “Johns” got 5-10 years jail time and or what would be equivalent for rape (cause that’s exactly what it is IT’S RAPE!!!!!!) and a huge fine and also have there name displayed for the public to see (just like the pedophiles on the MB government website), I really do believe that would make a significant difference and I can guarantee that you will see a huge decrease in Human Trafficking in Winnipeg. Please think long and hard after reading this PLEASE!!!! Please remember anyone can become a victim of human trafficking and be forced into sex slavery, it could be your Daughter/Son, Niece/Nephew, Sister/Brother, Mother, Girlfriend, your Friends, or even your own Grandchild if we continue to let this happen and continue to have it slide under the radar. Don’t let your loved ones become victims of sex slavery. Everyone has a voice use it for the protection of you and your loved ones and the future. Just think about if it was happening to them this very moment how would you feel? How would they feel? Would you ever see them again? Are they still alive? These are questions that many thousands of family members of victims of human trafficking think about every single day.

It is up to the people that work with the youth to Yell out to the rest of Canada to make the voice of Children heard.

The biggest scourge right now to the world is pornography on the Internet, there's an entire generation now who believes that this is "normal & natural" "a way of relief or fantasy" yet the reality pornography is highly addictive and so much exists on the internet that anyone can access, for free, the nastiest, vile porn they want, and never run out of stuff to watch. In fact, it's near impossible to surf and click in porn sites and not eventually see horrible images of both legal disgust involving all types of bodily fluids, and even the illegal and prolific ways these abusers are desperate to get money from. The Internet has opened up not just a playground for these creeps but there's a whole system of protection because of the sheer amount of money that's being transacted. This has another affect, men who wouldn't have normally ever seen these images are being lured in, one step at a time. There's an explosion of child abuse at the same time a generation saw an explosion in pornography production. Until pornography is spoken about honestly in society, this horrible trend will only get worse!
