POLYGAMIST SECT IN TEXAS--

I WAS IN A CULT 6 YEARS AGO FOR 15 YEARS. I CALLED AND EMAILED THE LOCAL NEWS STATION AND STRONGLY ADVISED GETTING A CULT EXPERT INVOLVED SUCH AS RICK ROSS. ONLY THE MANDJ SHOW HAD RICK ON BRIEFLY. I HAD TO GO THROUG YEARS OF THEARPY TO GET MY LIFE BACK AND NOW I STILL HAVE RELATIVES IN THE CULT. WILL BE GLAD TO TALK FOR NO MONEY AS LONG AS I CAN REMAIN ANOMONIS. I AM TRYING TO COMPLETE MY FINALS FOR SPRING SEMESTER BUT I KEEP GETTING FLASH BACKS AND KNOW I NEED TO DO SOMETHING TO HELP!

this show really caught my attention because i am cambodian and it is sad to see that trafficking is still going on. thanks for a great show and i will buy the bracelet to support

Tyra,

I am so thrilled that you did a show on human trafficking and sex slave trade. People don’t know about it, and if they do, most don’t realize that it is happening in the U.S. You hit the nail on the head. My friends and I have started an anti-human trafficking organization on our college campus, which will host a conference inviting speakers from around the nation. www.stoptrafficnow.com We want to inform people, just as you have. This comment board is helpful too, as it put me in touch with some organizations I was unaware of. Knowledge is power and I firmly believe that. Thanks, Tyra, for being a voice for so many that don’t have one.

Dear Tyra,
I was so touched by your show about human trafficking. I had watched a movie about it on Lifetime and it was the first time I had heard about it, then i saw your show. It has truly inspired me to help with it and give donations. It touched me so much, I want to do anything I can to help. Thank you for letting people know how serious it is.

I just wanted to say that I really enjoyed your last episode on Human trafficking and sex slavery! I have been following the works of Somaly Mam for about a year now and was very pleased to see her on your show! I think that she is a very brave person and does wonderful things for this world! I hope to see her on your show again!! Good job Tyra on bringing awareness to the world!

hey tyra

hi i am 17 years old and i'm a senior in high school and i just wanted to say i thought that was beautiful that you brought awareness about human trafficking to your show. this wasn't the first place i heard about trafficking. it was my sophmore year and i was 15. i was watching the mini-series Human Trafficking onf Lifetime. At that time i was going to a school where we had to do senior projects, so i decided to come up with my idea befroe senior year. i was going to raise money and awareness about human trafficking. i was going to give the money raised to organizations that deal with trafficking. i also AM going to make this a career path because i feel since i have been exposed to this knowledge i cannot just sit here and watch thia continue. i plan to raise awareness and i plan to become an activist not only on human trafficking but also feeding the hungry, raising money to fin cures for HIV/AIDS and breast cancer. thank you for being suh a role model to myself and other people.

I watched your show yesterday and I was truly touched. For the past year I have been starting a business fighting sex slavery. I will be selling products sold my women and children rescued from this injustice. Check it out out www.thelife-project.com.

this show was very sad and touched my heart, especially during xmas time, with it so commercialized and material. we forget how fortunate we are. i will be buying bracelets for the teenage girls on my list and share the story behind it with these girls.
very good show!

I really don't see the reasoning behind showing the picture of one of your guest's abuser as she put it. Thanks for you doing your share in the vilification of black males.

Hey Tyra, your show is amazing an it touches me on a daily bases. I watch it everyday on the CW. I just watched the show on sex slavery today and it really touched me because my past has some of these same hurts in it. I've never been a sex slave or even a prostiute but at 11 i was raped by someone i knew. And not just one time it lasted the whole summer. I was to scared to tell my parents i thought he'de hurt me( he was 14). And sometimes i'de feel that like just a sex toy. And i grave to be loved i mean really loved by a guy. I used to be to sad about what kind of person this had made me. That i yell when i think i'm not being heard, that i still cry about it. But on your show you said that these girls are amazing surivers and i've never thought about it that way. I thought I was damaged not a suriver. Your show and one of my friends has helped me realize that because this happened i can now understand and help girls just like me. Thank you Tyra for bringing in to the public's view what we just want to ignor and hide away.

where can i help out again...and i love those bracelets...where can i purchace or help to recieve one?

To Mel - what does that have to do with anything regarding the slavery of young girls? Today's show is regarding the capture, kidnapping, rape, torture, enslaving of young girls. Tyra and many others like her are bringing awareness to us so that we can actually do something about it - whether it be spreading the word, writing to our government officials, donating money for rescue and rehabilitation, whatever we can do to impact this situation. I'm sure Tyra and her team aren't trying to spread any other message.

its real crazy to know all this at my age but ,its a good thing I never knew that "pimps" actually existed of course ive watched shows such as jerry Springer and Maury but I just thought it was entertaining and an act. kids as young as 5years old or any age should not be exploited for the use of any1s pleasure or profit something must be real wrong with these people’s heads to bring themselves that low to that extent and not really show any remorse towards those kids. Im only 15 but one day I plan to be something. . . a leader like TYRA! =) thank you for bringing awareness
oh and those shows you’ve had previous on racism wow …good shows with actual facts

am in Ghana and i have been watching your show for about 5 months i just wanna say to tyra ,for US the people in developing countries getting help is quite difficult and right now the only thing we do get is people to listen to that is to say if you got you to t.v you can see someone who's gone through what you have and try to relate thinking about it people who do have t.v are the lucky ones i stand by streets to see your show and i thank you for what you are doing ok. why i write? i just wanna say i watched you show on rape and sexual abuse and just listening to it ave me a new perspective on life just because i have been sexually abused doesn't been my life won't go on and i will try my best to make sure that i don't end up like a sex addict or something bad just because i was raped thanks

this is so sad and disturbing that people are that messed up to hurt innocent children like that why dosent someone try to get ophrah involved she has so much money and seems to love to spend it why not on a cause like this?

I'm currently watching the episode on sex slavery. I think that this something that everyone in the whole entire world should try to stop this. My father is a refugee from Cambodia, and even though I was born in the American life I still have 5 brothers and sisters in Cambodia. Knowing that if something happened to them and they had to send their children into one of those brothels would kill me. I've never met them... I hardly know more than the basics in Khmer language. However, they are my family no matter what. I want to be able to help out and I don't know where to start. But the idea of these poor girls young as 4 years old having sex with men... a lot of the times tourists coming there just for sex... just blows my mind. I want to go there and save them all. I think this situation is something that people seem to forget about because they don't see it as such a big deal in America. It definitely goes unheard and unseen... it's time for that to change. I've watched it all on CNN, 20/20, and now Tyra, this is my heritage... my homeland... and I don't want to see such a beautiful country be torn down like that. Think about how they are known as a sex slave country.

If I was there... as a 18 year old girl... coming from the low income family I'm in now, I could only imagine what I would be doing.

We must remember that these children, the abductees, are sexual SLAVES rather than prostitutes. The children aren't "working" - they are sold and forced into this industry. Thank you, Tyra, for helping to bring awareness of these atrocities to the public.
