Runaways, Victims of Child Abuse

Survival skill training can be one way to help your child avoid becoming a victim. A child that knows how to find food and shelter until he or she can be rescued will be less likely to be lured into traps laid for children. Of even greater importance are the bonds that are created between a child and his family. Children from secure homes are less likely to become victims of child abusers.

Criminals know that runaways are easy prey; that’s why they target them. In her book, The Vision, Debi Pearl approaches the abuse of runaways in a straightforward manner.

Even conservative homes are experiencing the disintegration of the family unit. The result is an increasing number of child and teen runaways. Over two and a half million children run away from home each year according to the United States Department of Justice. A large number of runaways are lured into illegal solicitation. Of that number, most are held against their will by abusers. Because many of these children are from unstable home situations, they are not always reported missing.

In October of 2008, more than a dozen child prostitution rings were stopped by federal agents. Children involved ranged in age from thirteen to seventeen. Metropolitan areas were not the only places these businesses thrived. Many of these operations are able to thrive in areas that are suburban or rural.

Victims are understood by their abusers. They realize that these children are in search of a secure and safe place. Whatever the child lacked at home – food, clothing, money, attention, shelter – all of that is promised by the abuser. The control of the children is additionally secured by physical force and the threat of violence.

Local law enforcement agencies often respond by giving these children a criminal record. While the age of consent in many states is 17, there is no limit to the age at which a child can be charged with the crime of prostitution. The same laws that state a child is not old enough to decide whether or not to engage in an activity can hold the child accountable for being engaged in that activity.

These children often have no one that is willing to take them in, or no family to whom they are willing to return. Most communities do not have safe houses where victims can receive crisis intervention, medical services, counseling and protection. Although released from jail or juvenile services, these children often have no other option but to return to the same bondage they escaped.

The story of a young runaway that seems to have gone beyond all hope and help is told in The Vision. Read about several individuals and what happens when they encounter her. Faith, patience and endurance are all tested as a distrustful, angry soul hangs in the balance. It is just one element of The Vision which weaves current events throughout a page turning tale.
