my brother was almost taken until my big mouth, screeching, in a language the FBI-looking guys, did not understand, stunned them. They let go of his arm, in a basement, in NYC, with a door to tunnels - did not understand it then...still gives me bad shivers.

Amen .... Many things are coming into focus now .. for all of us ...
Thank God for FAMILY ..

it was so creepy. I was an immigrant to the USA. My brother was almost "taken" if it was not for my big mouth, screeching at these (they were the khaki-clad, FBI looking apparatchiks) in a foreign language. My eldest brother (these men were no match for my brawny, tall, tanked eldest brother) arrived late, but at the nick of time to pick us up. We had choir practice in a church in Bkln in 1969, which had a creepy gym in the basement with a door behind one of the basketball hoops! I realized 30 years later, that my beautiful brother was almost taken - we're in our 60's, now, so we are marked safe! hahahhahhahahhaaaa

I am glad you shared ...
As many share their experiences ... they are giving a VOICE to the voiceless .. for those who wasn't that lucky . As we learn that even some parents groom their children to be used, abused, trafficked and many sacrificed is way beyond many of our comprehensions GOD WILL HAVE HIS REVENGE UPON THE WICKED ..
CHILDREN .. are a true gift from God ...
P.S. Thank God for our ... our ... big brothers .. we are truly blessed by God .. YOU are truly blessed by God .. many times over ..
