Stop Child Abuse Now (SCAN) - 3043

Tonight's special guest is Diane Jackson from Great Falls, Montana, a pioneer survivor and advocate for Human Trafficking. She's the author of 'The Girl With No Voice: A true story of child abuse, human trafficking, forced prostitution, and then miraculous freedom by the grace of God'. Reliving the painful days of her childhood and life, Diane shares her knowledge and advice to those who may be trapped in human-trafficking. She acknowledges her survival to God. Diane says. "Mama left at the age of three never to be seen again. My dad was a violent man. He would beat her. My Dad would send me to bed each night for years by squeezing my face and telling me I was the ugliest thing ever born. I struggle to this day feeling this." Diane goes on, "I have three siblings and was the black sheep in our house. Just say 'Cheryl did it!' and I would get punished." Her dad was cruel. "One story that still haunts me is when my dad seen me feeding kittens under a tree. He got a box to put them in and took me to a cliffside." He removed them one by one, shot them and threw them over cliff. I felt I was next." She started running away after that. "I felt so unloved and lonely it seems the only attention I got was when I was being sexually abused, by men, by women and my siblings. I was raped at 11 by an Airforce man. At age 13, I was set up by a girl who sold me to three business men who took me to Alaska. From 13 to 17 I was involved in Human Trafficking." Diane's been helping others for years. "I have talked to and helped some children escape abuse. I am a survivor."
