Katie McQue,  Staff Writer  -  The Guardian (U.K.)Stephan: The American President criminal psychopath Trump is hiding the Epstein files from public view. In my view, he is doing this is because there are images of him with underage girls, but also to protect his fellow fascist billionaires from similar exposure. The victims have told us all this, but they are not being taken seriously at Trump's direction by the Department of Justice under Bondi and Kash Patel. But there is more. Trump has directed that the whole apparatus of DOJ designed to catch child predators has been gutted and defunded. If a rich fascist pulls down your 13-year-old daughter's panties, or reaches into your 12-year-old son's underwear don't expect there will be any attempt by DOJ to hold them accountable. I think you should also note that this report has appeared in the world's largest and most prestigious English-language paper. So this is how the world now sees the United States. If something such as I have described does happen to one of your children The Guardian offer this guidance: In the US, call or text the Childhelp abuse hotline on 800-422-4453 or visit their website for more resources and to report child abuse or DM for help. For adult survivors of child abuse, help is available at ascasupport.org. In the UK, the NSPCC offers support to children on 0800 1111, and adults concerned about a child on 0808 800 5000. The National Association for People Abused in Childhood (Napac) offers support for adult survivors on 0808 801 0331. In Australia, children, young adults, parents and teachers can contact the Kids Helpline on 1800 55 1800, or Bravehearts on 1800 272 831, and adult survivors can contact Blue Knot Foundation on 1300 657 380.

Major cuts include the cancelation of 2025 National Law Enforcement Training on Child Exploitation, due to be held in Washington DC in June. The conference is an annual event that provides technical training to prosecutors, state and federal law enforcement officers on investigating online crimes against children. The sweeping cuts, enacted soon after Donald Trump began his second term as US president, are putting vulnerable children at risk and impeding efforts to bring child predators to justice, according to four prosecutors and law enforcement officers specializing in cases of child sexual exploitation, speaking on the condition of anonymity. “You don’t want to speak too loudly, because you just fear retaliation, and that’s a heavy [...]Read the Full Article »
