This Crosstalk broadcast was an open forum program that challenged the listening audience with 3 questions:

1.--What are you doing to reinforce biblical values in your family?

2.--What steps have you implemented to raise your children to walk in God's ways?

3.--What are you doing to biblically instruct your children?

Then in the final quarter hour, Vic asked to hear from callers who have been listening and have been inspired to take a new look at what can make a difference in the lives of their children.

Dawn Hawkins is the executive director of Morality in Media, the leading national organization opposing pornography and indecency through public education and application of the law.

Dawn defined sex trafficking as an activity that involves people who have been forced or coerced into performing a sex act in exchange for something else. However, in the end it's not the victim who receives the money, housing or food. Instead, under sex trafficking, someone takes that away from them. The victim, in essence, is a slave.

Sex trafficking has a broader victim base than you might think. Dawn spoke with a young woman from an upper middle class family who was a track star at the University of Maryland. She became a sex trafficking victim and is just one example proving that this kind of activity isn't limited to poor, runaway girls.

Another misconception is that this isn't happening in the U.S. but only overseas. Dawn noted that between 100,000 and 400,000 American children are trafficked every year.

Children can be drawn into this because they may have low self esteem. This can make them easy prey for a pimp who may befriend them and attempt to gain their trust. A girl can become a victim if she sends a picture of herself (sexting) to someone and is then told that if she doesn't comply with regard to what is demanded of her, the picture or pictures will be shared.

Dawn indicated that pornography is increasing the pace and creating the sexual template for sex trafficking. The pattern works like this: The porn user looks for increasingly harder material because their brain changes over time. Eventually they seek to act out what they see in pornography. In order to satisfy these desires they end up getting involved with prostituted or trafficked women or children.

Also discussed was Morality in Media's 'dirty dozen' list and how sex trafficking occurs through social media.

Brian Camenker is the executive director of MASS Resistance, a pro-family action center based in Massachusetts.

Vic presented a news item that set the stage for the program. The story noted a
California lesbian couple that has allegedly been dosing their 11 year old son with hormone treatments to delay puberty so that he can have more time to explore being a female before deciding what he actually wants to be.

This might sound outrageous until you hear Brian describe the long list of activities that the LGBT movement has in place in the State of Massachusetts. He listed homosexual and transgender awareness days, the Massachusetts LGBT Commission on Youth, the sexualization of young children in schools, state supported youth pride activities, the urging of kids to 'come out', the gay clubs in schools, sexual surveys, homosexual themed school plays, homosexual books recommended as reading material for kids...all this and more with no mention of the harmful effects.

Are any of these things happening in your state? Review this Crosstalk and become informed and more importantly...involved.

Host: Jim Schneider

Guest: Twila Brase

Listen: MP3|Order

Twila Brase is president of the Citizens' Council for Health Freedom and a certified public health nurse. She has been called one of the '100 Most Powerful People in Health Care'.

According to Twila, there was a one year delay in Obamacare and now the Treasury Department has come up with new rules saying there is a delay in place that will run through 2016 for businesses of different sizes. What this means is that the President and his administration are lawlessly changing the law without the help of Congress.

Twila noted that the law doesn't allow a delay. The law said the employer mandate had to be in place on January 1, 2014. Looking back the President first said 2015 and now he's saying 2016 which is illegal to do.

Twila also believes the health insurance exchanges are struggling to obtain the enrollment numbers that they need to be financially stable. So if President Obama delays the employer mandate but doesn't delay the individual mandate, then all the individuals who might have been covered under the employer mandate are now responsible for finding coverage on their own. That will tend to drive more people into the government exchanges to help them with financial sustainability.

This Crosstalk also looked at...America's increasing debt and unfunded liabilities ...Young adults aren't buying into Obamacare...The penalty for not signing up...How you can legally opt-out of Obamacare...GOP alternatives...and more.
