My name is Dr Anthony Davis
I am the Senior P astor and founder of No Limit Ministries that serves Titusville and Orlando
I also set as the chairman of the Orange County domestic violence task force
the Space Coast Rescue and Restore Coalition
and the number of other things
My purpose today is a talk to you about mentoring and how it relates to Human Trafficking
Dealing with young people on a daily basis, I'm aware of all the different
attitude shifts that have happened over the years
and with social media what happens is many of our young people
put themselves in a position that they become targets for traffickers
Traffickers know how to look for the young lady or the young man
are sitting in trouble who have issues at home or like to be out
and so they're using the social media web to get out there and to make them
think that they can be apart of - modeling or taking pictures.
But all these are traps that catch our young people
One of the things we really have to do is to educate our young people that
you have to do more than just listen to the FaceBook or the Twitter.
You got to be able to understand that traffickers
are trying to find your weakness so they can exploit them
If we can get that message across we can reduce the number of our young people
that are daily taken off the streets - not just here in central Florida
but across this nation
And this is what I do, taking the time. It's called paying it forward.
I could spend all my time in the church and doing things like that
but I find that being out and talking to the young people, and the ladies
who were victims of domestic violence or any other *** type of predators
this is where we have to be
and so this is what we're here today
to tell you - reminder you - if you're young
don't be caught up in a trap
if it looks too good to be true it probably is
If your're a parent, know what your children are doing
If they're talking about going to auditions or modeling and stuff, and it doesn't look like
it's in the better business bureau
Go with them. Don't ever let them go by themselves
Because you would hate to be on the other end
of losing your child to Human Trafficking
because many of them never return
