In Los Angeles, Orange, San Diego and other California counties people and children clasped hands and formed chains while chanting, "Bring our children home" and "Where is Johan Rief."
Tears came to the eyes of many parents and families who had lost loved ones who have been trafficked by California judges to other countries. One of the trafficked children, Jonah Rief, turned seven today but hasn't been seen since early 2013 when he entered Australia with his traffickers. Jonah has become the symbol for the international child trafficking movement. Prayers were held at the events in his honor and in the honor of other lost children.
Will Jonah and the other children return? Families don't know. They are calling for audits of the judges to find out why these judges are sending American children to sex rings over-seas. Traffickers put naked pictures of Jonah on the web in early 2013 as part of a sales operation. John Moreland, present at the event in Los Angeles, asked, "Why are judges doing this? Are they being paid off? Why isn't the FBI taking this seriously? "
Supporters of Jonah Rief want him to know America is wishing him a happy birthday if his international traffickers will let him have the message.
There was also a message from Jonah's mother Tammy: "Jonah, I love you very much and I will never stop looking for you."
