- 1:19[SPEAKER_00]: It's not easy.
- 1:21[SPEAKER_00]: It is a struggle with everyday life to push forward and keep your eyes on what matters to you.
- 1:30[SPEAKER_00]: And the reason why we're talking about this topic today, because this what matters to me, where are the children going in Virginia?
- 1:39[SPEAKER_00]: Episode sixty one.
- 1:43[SPEAKER_00]: Recently, when you look into social media platforms and all over the world, we have a continuing issue.
- 1:52[SPEAKER_00]: And we know about sex offenders, we know how children are becoming missing or children are not returning home from walks, school, church, to the store, things that just happening.
- 2:10[SPEAKER_00]: I was suggest to you in your mental capacity yet.
- 2:13[SPEAKER_00]: These things do not just happen to just children.
- 2:17[SPEAKER_00]: I think this happened to a lot of people.
- 2:21[SPEAKER_00]: Dope's all nationalities go do this in episode I believe.
- 2:25[SPEAKER_00]: Fifty eight.
- 2:27[SPEAKER_00]: We talked about missing people.
- 2:31[SPEAKER_00]: But to now we have in sixty and episode sixty, we have
- 2:37[SPEAKER_00]: looked a little deeper into the actual state of Virginia.
- 2:43[SPEAKER_00]: I mentioned Virginia because Virginia is getting a lot of heat, getting a lot of attention.
- 2:51[SPEAKER_00]: The state troopers who
- 2:54[SPEAKER_00]: Managing police, the state surroundings and connected to Virginia on the highways and highways.
- 3:02[SPEAKER_00]: The state troopers are saying this is not accurate.
- 3:06[SPEAKER_00]: There's other factors on why children are coming up missing or
- 3:12[SPEAKER_00]: the statistics are high about children being missing in the state of Virginia.
- 3:20[SPEAKER_00]: Now, I'm just somewhat, you can call me a reporter, you can call me whatever you want to call me, doesn't bother me.
- 3:26[SPEAKER_00]: But I am a person that like to look at statistics, I look at factors and look at a lot of different things before I come to my own conclusion on the matter.
- 3:37[SPEAKER_00]: And for all of my listeners who rather listen to me talk about politics, I haven't left you.
- 3:43[SPEAKER_00]: I'm still here.
- 3:44[SPEAKER_00]: But those who like me to talk about other countries issues, I'm still here.
- 3:49[SPEAKER_00]: If you want me to talk about other things, please just leave it in our email at info at humanityumplug.co.site.
- 3:58[SPEAKER_00]: And I will get to use as soon as I can about addressing different things you might want me to talk about.
- 4:07[SPEAKER_00]: I sit here today, and I'm talking to you this morning on Thursday, August, Fourteen, about where are the children going?
- 4:15[SPEAKER_00]: What's happening to the children in the state of Virginia?
- 4:19[SPEAKER_00]: Well, as we look deeper into this, we have to look at protective services.
- 4:27[SPEAKER_00]: Protective services have taken a big chunk of the children.
- 4:33[SPEAKER_00]: adoption agencies and people in agency that are there to protect the children.
- 4:40[SPEAKER_00]: They are snatching these children up and taking them from the homes because they may see us unfit.
- 4:48[SPEAKER_00]: So a large percentage of children are lost in protective services.
- 4:55[SPEAKER_00]: Now that happens and happens in all states though, not just Virginia.
- 5:00[SPEAKER_00]: So what makes Virginia stand out?
- 5:04[SPEAKER_00]: Well, let's look at accidental deaths.
- 5:07[SPEAKER_00]: There's a huge percentage of people or children dying from accidental death by handguns, accidents and cars, drowning at the beaches and lakes and ponds.
- 5:22[SPEAKER_00]: It's due have a high percentage of deaths that occur through accidents.
- 5:30[SPEAKER_00]: You know, around the house, some go to sleep and don't wake up is very low statistic of that, but it does happen quite often that children do pass away early by accidental deaths.
- 5:49[SPEAKER_00]: these things does occur.
- 5:51[SPEAKER_00]: Now I also want you to factor in when you look at why a children missing human trafficking.
- 6:01[SPEAKER_00]: Children, human trafficking, children pornography, children sex, trades, and things are such.
- 6:11[SPEAKER_00]: This is live in United States.
- 6:13[SPEAKER_00]: It happens at a high volume.
- 6:15[SPEAKER_00]: It does happen quite often.
- 6:17[SPEAKER_00]: And as an adult, you might not see it because it's not in the newspaper every day.
- 6:24[SPEAKER_00]: front page, or it's not on ESPN, Dunna, Dunna, Dunna, or you might now see it on eyewitness news channel seven often, but
- 6:33[SPEAKER_00]: If you go to global news, I believe CNN or BCC, I think it's called PBWB and C and things are such.
- 6:46[SPEAKER_00]: Or just look at your global news and it's entirety, you will see a lot of different news that can get you up to speed on what's going on in your world if you're just sleeping through it.
- 6:59[SPEAKER_00]: And things happen along with different
- 7:02[SPEAKER_00]: but who advertising on TV or commercials on TV, children are suffering all over the world for different reasons.
- 7:12[SPEAKER_00]: We don't know exactly what can be the total cause of the high statistic rate of children missing at this point in the state of Virginia, but all these issues factor in on what could be happening to our children.
- 7:31[SPEAKER_00]: The sex trafficking is huge.
- 7:33[SPEAKER_00]: This happens all the time and as we look into it and we find out different issues we have to have our own understanding of children that are just running away.
- 7:45[SPEAKER_00]: We have a huge
- 7:48[SPEAKER_00]: Back there that comes in to play when it comes to children, just run away from home.
- 7:53[SPEAKER_00]: They don't want to be home.
- 7:55[SPEAKER_00]: They want to be at other places.
- 7:56[SPEAKER_00]: They want to go live their life at a very early age because of the children and influencers that are out here as well.
- 8:05[SPEAKER_00]: Social media doesn't make it easy for kids.
- 8:08[SPEAKER_00]: It's pure pressure on children to do things unlike normal kids would do back in the day.
- 8:15[SPEAKER_00]: See back in a day in the eighty-eight eighty-nine social media wasn't as they would say lit like it is now where children have other things looking to or do or have an influence over there telling them that they don't need to take the crap or being a situation they can just run away to a program like covenant house or homeless shelters and things as such that might can assist them.
- 8:43[SPEAKER_00]: Now over time laws has changed and past where children are protected but also by law.
- 8:50[SPEAKER_00]: If you have somewhat of a home, you cannot just run away from your home because you and your mom have a argument or you and your father have a disagreement.
- 9:02[SPEAKER_00]: You can't just just walk away and run away and go to an apartment car and say, I see you when I see you because that's what's happening now.
- 9:16[SPEAKER_00]: Excuse me.
- 9:17[SPEAKER_00]: I also want to mention that that economy plays a fact on your children.
- 9:28[SPEAKER_00]: Everybody wants nice clothes, a nice place to live, a nice car.
- 9:33[SPEAKER_00]: They want to have the hottest new cell phone.
- 9:36[SPEAKER_00]: They want to keep a fresh haircut.
- 9:38[SPEAKER_00]: Girls want their nails done.
- 9:40[SPEAKER_00]: They want their toes done.
- 9:42[SPEAKER_00]: They want their attention that they're seeking now are reaching levels that we never seen before.
- 9:48[SPEAKER_00]: And that causes pressure on children and adults to do things.
- 9:53[SPEAKER_00]: They never did before to keep the children
- 9:56[SPEAKER_00]: happy and in home in the house.
- 10:01[SPEAKER_00]: So all of these different issues are all these different distractions caused children to have different reasons why they feel like they don't need to be at home with their parent.
- 10:16[SPEAKER_00]: And maybe life, life itself is a influence on
- 10:24[SPEAKER_00]: a child or a young man being home.
- 10:26[SPEAKER_00]: Excuse me, if the mother and father are always working.
- 10:33[SPEAKER_00]: And they're not available at home to nurture that child or when that child goes a bed, the mother and father are just getting home, they're tired, the tension that that child may seek or need is not being met by the parent in the house.
- 10:48[SPEAKER_00]: They could be doing the best they came, but unfortunately it's still not enough to that child.
- 10:54[SPEAKER_00]: What if that child might have a special need child?
- 10:58[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe that child has different issues mentally that's going on on medication and things as such.
- 11:05[SPEAKER_00]: And the mother of the father is just not there adequately to assist the child.
- 11:11[SPEAKER_00]: These things happen all the time and they play a factor in when the child decides to run away.
- 11:21[SPEAKER_00]: and be in the streets.
- 11:23[SPEAKER_00]: Pips, you know, people who like to harness a child or a man or a females, sexual.
- 11:33[SPEAKER_00]: favors to bring money into the household.
- 11:37[SPEAKER_00]: You'd be surprised how many women out here provide for their families by prostitution.
- 11:45[SPEAKER_00]: It happens a lot of favor for a favor.
- 11:49[SPEAKER_00]: Everybody's not waking up with cover warm and a nice decent place to lady ahead every night.
- 11:56[SPEAKER_00]: It doesn't happen.
- 11:57[SPEAKER_00]: Quite often, there's not a lot.
- 12:00[SPEAKER_00]: It's very few people that have it like that.
- 12:03[SPEAKER_00]: And now that Trump is in office, things are turning for the worse.
- 12:13[SPEAKER_00]: I do tell you back in the day of eighteen eighty nineteen eighty eight nineteen ninety six uh... maybe the early two thousands they had other city programs like p.a.l.
- 12:24[SPEAKER_00]: police academy back in the day that you should sponsor children and boys and girls clubs and places like that used to offer the children the safe place to go to vent to talk to adults about the family issues that may have occurred or things that could be just bothering them
- 12:43[SPEAKER_00]: and these places were there open to have a door.
- 12:47[SPEAKER_00]: They can walk and it feels safe and talk to adults about family issues and perhaps sometimes people will reach out to the parent to try to assist a parent with assisting the child.
- 13:00[SPEAKER_00]: A lot of these programs are now closed or not funded no more by the government because of today's issues and things that supersede
- 13:09[SPEAKER_00]: that help.
- 13:10[SPEAKER_00]: Now when you look at things like that, the government will tell you, well, what's more important?
- 13:14[SPEAKER_00]: Me giving you assistance.
- 13:17[SPEAKER_00]: A person being there physically, do you talk to or is it more important for you to have your food stamps at the end of the month?
- 13:25[SPEAKER_00]: Well, I tell you right now, a lot of females and single mothers would choose the food stamps over having a counselor there in their corner.
- 13:35[SPEAKER_00]: So when you look at these factors all around, you look at what agencies are available to assist families that might be struggling like this.
- 13:44[SPEAKER_00]: This is a long, long issue that has been occurring in all United States and it hasn't been addressed.
- 13:51[SPEAKER_00]: Just like the homelessness hasn't been addressed.
- 13:53[SPEAKER_00]: Every state has suffered from homelessness and people veterans suffer and not having medical resources and
- 14:00[SPEAKER_00]: I'll place the state.
- 14:01[SPEAKER_00]: These things happen all the time, but yet no one really addresses it.
- 14:05[SPEAKER_00]: Our president look past the veterans and now he wants to take over and have make America great again.
- 14:11[SPEAKER_00]: But before we can make America great again, we need to look within our American and fix some of the constant issues we're having in our communities and along with taking care of the people who fought for such freedom like our veterans.
- 14:31[SPEAKER_00]: Over time, and as we talk about this and as I continue to do different episodes about community issues and world issues, I would love for you guys that continue to reach out and talk to me and send me your comments on Instagram or all the social media platforms or you can definitely email us at info at humanityumplug.co.site.
- 14:54[SPEAKER_00]: We now we always had a Facebook
- 14:56[SPEAKER_00]: page us up and we look for you guys to comment with us and tell us how you feel about these different issues that might come across your table or come across your desk.
- 15:06[SPEAKER_00]: As you see, things doesn't change.
- 15:09[SPEAKER_00]: I think we're up to, we're up to iPhone, seventeen that's dropping now and Apple doesn't care.
- 15:16[SPEAKER_00]: Target doesn't care.
- 15:21[SPEAKER_00]: Other
- 15:25[SPEAKER_00]: Other companies like this doesn't care about the community that support them that keeps them rolling.
- 15:33[SPEAKER_00]: If you look at statistics and look at what it costs to buy a iPhone, four teams over twelve hundred dollars.
- 15:42[SPEAKER_00]: And remind you guys, I said, I phone, fourteen.
- 15:46[SPEAKER_00]: This coming September, mark my words.
- 15:48[SPEAKER_00]: They will have the iPhone, seventeen being commercializing late August and early September for you guys to get to seventeen.
- 15:57[SPEAKER_00]: And we will run out and get the news gadget because we want to feel like we're working for a purpose because we're supporting someone that's already rich.
- 16:06[SPEAKER_00]: I get it.
- 16:06[SPEAKER_00]: I understand why we do what we do.
- 16:08[SPEAKER_00]: I don't agree with it, but I do understand that you need to reward yourself as everyday struggles overwhelm you and make you feel like you're in a corner fighting for your life.
- 16:20[SPEAKER_00]: I actually guys to please be patient.
- 16:26[SPEAKER_00]: Have understanding with your situation and it will get better.
- 16:31[SPEAKER_00]: Keep pushing through it will get better.
- 16:35[SPEAKER_00]: But as we continue on our topic on why or what contributes to the children missing, Virginia is a Commonwealth state.
- 16:46[SPEAKER_00]: They make big money is heavy electronics.
- 16:49[SPEAKER_00]: It is heavy, heavy technology state.
- 16:56[SPEAKER_00]: But those you don't know, they have a lot of other things to worry about in what a children do when they have to fight.
- 17:04[SPEAKER_00]: So this is why they have a heavy drug game in Virginia, Washington, Baltimore, Maryland.
- 17:13[SPEAKER_00]: It is heavy out there.
- 17:15[SPEAKER_00]: It's a lot of money out there.
- 17:18[SPEAKER_00]: And kids are saying they can stand on the corner and need small suburban areas and make some money.
- 17:28[SPEAKER_00]: And he's called the sacks.
- 17:29[SPEAKER_00]: They can do other things other than sit home and do homework because my mom and dad don't come on to late.
- 17:35[SPEAKER_00]: So they tested and they're doing drugs more.
- 17:38[SPEAKER_00]: They haven't friends over more.
- 17:40[SPEAKER_00]: And half the time, as long as you answer the phone when your mom calls or your father calls, how active are parents now in twenty twenty five.
- 17:51[SPEAKER_00]: When the cost of living has went up tremendously, gas is up.
- 17:55[SPEAKER_00]: Electric is up.
- 17:57[SPEAKER_00]: Food is up.
- 17:58[SPEAKER_00]: Eggs cost you what they used to cost you now.
- 18:01[SPEAKER_00]: They went down a little bit, but the economy is still suffering.
- 18:05[SPEAKER_00]: And parents got to still provide.
- 18:08[SPEAKER_00]: So how focused are the parents on the children?
- 18:12[SPEAKER_00]: As long as they end or you can look at them, you really don't go too deep as that long as you speak to me.
- 18:18[SPEAKER_00]: How you doing?
- 18:18[SPEAKER_00]: I'm all right.
- 18:19[SPEAKER_00]: All right.
- 18:19[SPEAKER_00]: Good.
- 18:20[SPEAKER_00]: It's over, it's a wrap.
- 18:22[SPEAKER_00]: You actually daughter, how's your day?
- 18:23[SPEAKER_00]: I'm fine.
- 18:24[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, good.
- 18:25[SPEAKER_00]: Parents have to be a little more intricate and get deeper involved with their children to maintain that open connection so they can talk to you about what's really going on.
- 18:37[SPEAKER_00]: You have to pass the surface when you talk until a child.
- 18:41[SPEAKER_00]: You can't just be surface with a child.
- 18:45[SPEAKER_00]: You have to ask them deep questions you have to look in today phone.
- 18:48[SPEAKER_00]: I'm sorry if they don't pay the phone bill what we doing.
- 18:53[SPEAKER_00]: If you're providing a protecting a protection over them as a room food and clothes over their bodies and making sure they saved and you are entitled to look through the phone and ask them what's going on.
- 19:08[SPEAKER_00]: As a parent, you are entitled to act your child.
- 19:11[SPEAKER_00]: Who are you sexually active with?
- 19:13[SPEAKER_00]: If you're sexually active, act your child, are you using protection?
- 19:17[SPEAKER_00]: You need to talk to your child.
- 19:19[SPEAKER_00]: Are you smoking weed?
- 19:21[SPEAKER_00]: Are you doing any drugs?
- 19:22[SPEAKER_00]: What you doing?
- 19:23[SPEAKER_00]: Drug tests.
- 19:24[SPEAKER_00]: I don't care if you offend them.
- 19:26[SPEAKER_00]: I'd rather you offend them while they live in to put them in a casket and you can't offend them no more.
- 19:32[SPEAKER_00]: or they come up missing is no one to talk to, no more.
- 19:36[SPEAKER_00]: So, offend them, show them you care now, show them that they matter now while they're in your presence.
- 19:46[SPEAKER_00]: And if you offend them, apologize because they have feelings, but talk to them and explain to them why you're doing what you're doing.
- 19:55[SPEAKER_00]: See, one of the biggest issues I had as a child at a young age, my dad used to tell me to do things and I didn't know why.
- 20:03[SPEAKER_00]: So I will give this jewel to a lot of men that have boys.
- 20:08[SPEAKER_00]: Boys are listening to their father, majority of the time with the fathers there.
- 20:12[SPEAKER_00]: Sometimes they don't understand why the parents are not there.
- 20:16[SPEAKER_00]: So you need to talk.
- 20:18[SPEAKER_00]: and tell the child what's going on.
- 20:20[SPEAKER_00]: And I know as a father, you feel like, why am I explaining this to a child?
- 20:23[SPEAKER_00]: Because what they see out, they lenses of their eyes is not what you see out the lenses of yours.
- 20:30[SPEAKER_00]: The focus is different.
- 20:32[SPEAKER_00]: You're looking at twenty, twenty, they're looking at ten, ten, fifteen.
- 20:37[SPEAKER_00]: They don't really understand what you are doing to make sure they land in the bed rolling over and they got eggs and bacon and sausage and biscuits to eat when they wake up or
- 20:48[SPEAKER_00]: They're milk in the conflicts they like.
- 20:50[SPEAKER_00]: They don't really understand that that you providing the anti-Mama pancake mix for them.
- 20:56[SPEAKER_00]: They don't really understand that.
- 20:58[SPEAKER_00]: They just want to see a body there.
- 21:02[SPEAKER_00]: And as much as you want to put a body there in the seats so they can visualize this, your job is very demanding.
- 21:09[SPEAKER_00]: And your job is so demanding because sometimes we didn't listen to our parents in
- 21:14[SPEAKER_00]: finished our education so we have a better skill set to provide for our families when we decide to have a family.
- 21:22[SPEAKER_00]: See everything works together for those who have the deeper understanding.
- 21:29[SPEAKER_00]: The reason why is so important for us as when we were children to have a great job to get a great education, whether it's a trade or go to college and land a decent job.
- 21:41[SPEAKER_00]: And I mean decent, I mean a job where you don't have to work the weekend.
- 21:46[SPEAKER_00]: Because in the fantasy world that you don't live in, but other people presume this fantasy, they're off on the weekends.
- 21:57[SPEAKER_00]: A lot of nine of fibers are off because they make enough money money through Friday to support their family and they're able to be there on the weekend to have excursions to have mommy and daddy day or to go here and do that and do this and do this or the ones who don't work overnight while your child is sleeping, you're at work.
- 22:21[SPEAKER_00]: The skill set, how you prepare for your life
- 22:26[SPEAKER_00]: when you are a child at thirteen fourteen fifteen and when you go to eleven of great and graduate whether you go to college or the service also prepares you to present a decent lifestyle for your son or your daughter to come and we don't see that when we're at that age but the honest opinion my honest being totally transparent with you is that matters
- 22:53[SPEAKER_00]: If you don't know it, I'm telling you now, the work you put in now builds the foundation for you to be around for your children when they're born and seeking your attention, you're able to be there for them because you put the work in at a young age where you're available, you're established, you have the money, and you have the right income coming in so you could be available for your child.
- 23:22[SPEAKER_00]: But you have to make those decisions when the child is not even born.
- 23:26[SPEAKER_00]: It is so crucial for you to make the right decisions when you're in the eleventh and twelfth grade and moving on on a high school and that will determine how you provide for your child when your child comes when you're twenty four twenty five or younger if you decide to have children at a young age.
- 23:44[SPEAKER_00]: All this plays a factor.
- 23:49[SPEAKER_00]: So I just want to let you guys understand when we get back to the topic of why the children missing, what's going on in Virginia?
- 24:00[SPEAKER_00]: Your economy plays a factor, your community plays a factor, the parents' job, and how they provide for the children does play a factor.
- 24:12[SPEAKER_00]: What you teach your child when they're little is what they carry on with them when they're grown.
- 24:21[SPEAKER_00]: So whatever seeds you plant in your child when they young, they will grow to become that eventually.
- 24:30[SPEAKER_00]: Somewhat around that area as they're all saying the fruit don't fall far from the trees.
- 24:38[SPEAKER_00]: So, in closing guys, I want us to try to continue to provide for our children, to be there for our children, but let's talk to them more.
- 24:48[SPEAKER_00]: Let's get on their nerves a little bit more.
- 24:50[SPEAKER_00]: Let's watch what they're wearing, watch what they're doing on social media.
- 24:55[SPEAKER_00]: Let's watch what they're eating.
- 24:57[SPEAKER_00]: Let's watch what they're taking or consuming.
- 25:00[SPEAKER_00]: And their bodies after three o'clock and after noon when they come in home, let's look out for the sugar intake because that brings on diabetes, obesity, and all that brings on further problems down the line as they get older.
- 25:16[SPEAKER_00]: I hope this episode has come in and hit you and been a blessing and hopefully it opened your eyes to different things that's going on or why things are happening in Virginia.
- 25:29[SPEAKER_00]: And in closing, I'll leave you with this, your state could be next where you live, your country could be next.
- 25:38[SPEAKER_00]: A child could be missing right next door from where you live.
- 25:41[SPEAKER_00]: So please keep your eyes open.
- 25:44[SPEAKER_00]: God bless.
- 25:45[SPEAKER_00]: I see you on Tuesday.
- 25:48[SPEAKER_00]: Peace.
