Today, Kamala Harris's Los Angeles office was the site of protests over her failure to act against the human sex trafficking of thousands of local children.
Outrage was the sentiment outside the Los Angeles office of California Attorney General Kamala Harris as women chanted, "Bring back our kids."
Kamala Harris came into that office four years ago on a promise of fighting against domestic violence and human trafficking. Jennie Johnson of Children's Watch says, "Kamala's performance in this area is currently an F-. She is running for re-election. You would think she would lift at least part of a finger to help women and trafficked children."
California has been credited as the U.S. hub of sex trafficking of young American kids into international sex slavery and exploitation. Protesters held transcripts to show that much of the trafficking was officially done by courts. They are demanding an investigation.into what they say is incontrovertible evidence of judicial sex trafficking crimes.
Two of the most famous cases are those of Lexi Dillon and Jonah Rief. Lexi was trafficked out of Orange County by a foreign molester with judicial approval after Tustin Police attempted to arrest the foreigner who is no longer allowed to re-enter the U.S. for national security reasons. Kamala Hrrris received and ignored thousands of petitions asking her to intervene on behalf of Lexi and her mother Ruby Dillon. The girl's whereabouts have been unknown since she disappeared from her Tustin Apartment last summer, taken by people associated with her foreign molester. Her mother Ruby is a respected professional who fears for her daughter's safety.
Jonah Rief was last seen after a San Diego Judge (Gregory Pollack) trafficked him to Australia in February, 2013. In March, 2013, nude photos when up of the boy on the Facebook page of reported co-trafficker Sara Francis AKA Denise Glasier. Jonah has not been seen alive since he was trafficked to Australia in February, 2013. Harris has taken no steps to seek the return of the six year old American boy despite petitions and phone calls demanding she act to find Jonah and return him to his mother Tammy Rief. The Jonah Rief case proves that out-of-state children are not safe from the California child sex trafficking epidemic. Jonah lived with his mother in Alabama before he was taken to California for trafficking purposes. The primary trafficker, who has gone by the names of Brian, Kevin, Patrick and Joe Sullivan, is not related to Jonah. The real father lost his rights along with Tammy when Sullivan left the country with Jonah and a falsified passport.
Some parents feel Harris is over-confident due to an expected easy re-election. But will mothers stay home if Kamala doesn't at least take a stand against the human trafficking of these kids? Several Democratic Clubs, such as Patrick Henry, have provided a strong voice in support of the mothers of trafficked children. Ruby Dillon and Tammy Rief have been declared "Mothers of the Year," by Democratic groups and by several organizations dealing with trafficked children. Kamala will have to answer to her own Party if these children remain missing.
Mothers across California, pray, cry and wait for Kamala to save their children. Today, the predominant chants were, "Bring back our kids," "Where's Jonah," "Where's Lexi" and "Where's Kamala?"

This was a powerful event that let mothers of trafficked children know we are not alone.
What happened to Jonah Rief and Lexi Dillion is horrific but it happens every day in California. Judges are being paid off in real property and cars to ignore the laws and traffic little kids. This will only stop when the Attorney General and legislature get up the guts to investigate.
Tammy Rief and Ruby Dillon really deserve the awards they've received for their sacrifices. Jonah Rief and Lexi Dillon have become symbols that remind people no child is safe.from court-licensed human trafficking.

The Patrick Henry Democratic Club of America is a leader in civil rights and human rights. We are leaders from the Kucinich wing of the Democratic Party.
Tammy and Ruby are everything good mothers should be. They have risked their lives and given up their freedom to rescue their young kids from extreme sexual abuse and international child sex trafficking. Nobody knows where Jonah and Lexi are - except those who are a threat to their safety. Jonah was last seen in Australia over a year and a half ago. Lexi could be in Thailand already.
Please join human rights groups in calling for an end to the trafficking of children. Unfortunately, California, my state, is the center of the worst child trafficking in the Western Hemisphere. I am a lifelong Democrat and I helped with the vote counting for Kamala in 2012. I've known Jerry since he ran for Secretary of State. Yet, I am ashamed of the failure of my state to protect children trafficked by sexual abusers. Wake up leaders and act. There is more to life that calling yourself a "D" than collecting checks while doing nothing to end child sex slavery.
And Indymedia, please give this more coverage. Ending child slavery is the most important civil rights cause before Californians today.
