There should be NO statute of limitations on child abuse!
That's right!
Please Lord. This is insane that there is a statute of limitations on such crimes. Someone in the legal system who can change that must do so 🙏🙏
There should not!
✔️
EVER!!
Come on America, that statute of limitations is ridiculous. This lovely lady needs justice.
As do many of us who are still hiding in the shadows…
🙏🏼✝️♥️@@laurellewis1638
@@laurellewis1638 very true.
That's because the courts and a lot of parents would be behind bars and paying restitution to their victims and they can't be having that! It's best to sweep things under the rug.
Childhood sexual abuse causes serious longterm damage, some never get to heal. Jesus Christ can heal the ripped apart and brokenhearted.
“She broke very differently than I broke” - such a good way of putting it
Me, too.😪
Same here ❤
I can’t fathom parents actively deciding to let this happen 😢
As a mom i would rather take this abuse myself than ever let it happen to my 4 year old daughter!
It makes me sick 🤢
Same!!!
A lot of parents didn’t want to have children so deciding this is easy. This is one of the arguments for allowing abortion: not forcing people to be parents.
@@sw6118I agree with you but why did the parents decide to want the child with the eye-problems,hadn't it been easier to keep the healthy child and throw the other one to the monsters? But yes, I fully agree, let women decide if they want to become mothers or not,don't force it on them, the concequences for the unwanted,un-loved children have so many times prooved to be horrible.
@@sw6118 After having kids i have only become more pro choice. It is crazy hard work and no one should be forced into that - it can only end in a bad situation one way or the other it will fall on the kid 😢
Yes ma'am. 100% agree. I have three little girls, and I cannot fathom anything ever happening to them.
This is so horrible. To be trafficked by your own parents is a whole different kinda of evil. Such a betrayal on so many levels. You are truly blessed and I can tell God has gave you strength.
You mean the deity who could have given her parents a fatal heart attack before they sold her out now is responsible for giving her strength? Now that's a deity who chose poorly.
I've heared alot by their parents in poverty countries. Doesn't matter where wrong is wrong.
Most trafficking is done by someone you know. It happens by strangers too but not nearly as common
God has GIVEN you strength
Agree is terrible e but is the most common i would say way of trafficking. By a familiar mostly parents who literally sell their kids
You are a real life super hero. Enduring such a traumatic childhood to grow up and help others requires an inner strength that only God provides.
Carrie’s insight into what’s happening for her at any given time and what therapy she needs to keep going forward is truly amazing, as well as her faith! She is so impressive!❤️❤️❤️
Well said
I would give her credit for her own inner strength.
Inner strength can come from any number of sources.
@@sarahwales6276 I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength. You should never forget where your truest and realest source of strength comes from. We are powerless without HIM.
@0:30 Just how the fuck is that the idea that pops into your head for making money????? They could have prostituted themselves, but no let's have a kid do it???
Well it was easier and made them a lot more money, didn’t it?
@@sw6118 easier than having sex yourself, are you tarded? Also 2 parents, 1 kid. They could’ve made double the money prostituting themselves
The parents were likely pedophiles themselves. And all-around low-life, lazy bums.
To justify it to a child 😭
They are (were? don’t know if they’re still alive) evil.
It is hard.... I'm 48 now,,,,,but when I was 11 my grandmother's husband told me he was gonna tech me how to please a man!!!!! I'm not sure how long it lasted.... I'm thinking my grandmother divorced him not long after cause she found out he messed with our 15 year old neighbor. Not sure... I know I finally told when I was 15... It was hard cause I grew up thinking he was my grandfather!!¡ I have PTSD from it,,,I don't trust....it ruined my life. Thank you for your story.... Showed me I'm not alone in this life.
Bless YOU!!! May you have a strong support system in place. Your story sounds so much like what my school friend went through. Grandmother's husband... sa'd her from I don't know what age, but she finally spoke out when she was 14. She moved out of state to live with her mom while step-granddad went to prison and was then accepted back into the home. I saw her a few months before she died in a drunk driving accident. She said she was the happiest she had ever been. I've cried for her and prayed for her for years. No child should have that experience! Innocence lost. Be strong!
@@rebeccalittle149 That's so "SAD"!!!!!!!.... I'm so sorry😐😔
You are not alone and you don't have to let it ruin your life. My only memory from before 3 is of my parents arguing and shouting, I was eye level to their knees, so it must be younger than 3. From 3 on, I don't remember any time that I wasn't being chronically sexually abused by my uncle. I told my mom at 8, but she denied it, so it continued until I was a teenager. I was very self destructive as a young adult, and could not talk about what happened until my 30s, when I had long buried that to focus on raising my children. I had fears of that happening to my daughter, and they gave me the strength to finally talk about it and try to recover. In my forties and fifties I came to the realization that I had control over my mind and heart, and started going through my metamorphosis into being the person I was meant to be, instead of who the abuse had shaped me into. Now I can recognize the emotions and thoughts that spring from the abused child's reaction, and cut them short, analyze them and put a balm of self love on them. I am showing compassion, understanding and respect for my own being, and at the same time being firm with myself that the history does not define who and what I am today. It's a sometimes difficult path, but I sincerely believe it is the only way to truly heal, overcome and grow into my true self as I was meant to be. I do have to have others prove their trustworthiness, before they can gain my trust. But I work, plan, dream.
And live. Good journey to you, may you find joy, peace and happiness 💙
I’m sorry that happened to you. If you can get therapy maybe it could help? God bless you.
When I was a teenager I used to babysit my baby cousin when my aunt and her husband wanted a night off. I stayed the night in their guest room and every time I was woken up by him fondling my breasts (he was naked and drunk). He never went further than that because I said I would scream. It ended finally when I kicked him so hard he fell on his back hitting his head against the wall. I have never told anybody, because I felt ashamed thinking it was my fault. I couldn't say anything because after all he was family. Fortunately my aunt divorced him so I didn't have to endure this all my life. 😢
I'm so thankful this woman has God in her heart. Absolute grace 🙌
If your fairy imaginary friend existed - he let it happen. Grow up
@@honeymcdonald9120 Free will is a gift that comes with a lot of responsibility. Praise God 🙌
Right before my dad died a few years ago. He looked at me and said, " you remember everything" I just replied yes. That was the last time I saw him.
i am so sorry. so very sorry
remember what and why? how did he die?
I am so sorry, i hope you have peace and healing.
Two weeks before elective surgery, 46 years afterward, when I was almost 50… I told my mother, “BTW… I remember everything…” she was appalled. Her only admission was, “I thought you had forgotten.”
She died as a result of the surgery.
Glad I spoke up!
I am so sorry & feel your pain , anyone who has gone through such horrific abuse & at the hands of those who are supposed to protect you!
Dear God! Three and one-half years old! I cannot get my head around parents doing that to their or any other child.
This is the sickness of our own self hatred...... and plenty of customers out there, Do you (anyone) know one?
That's usually when it starts, if not sooner, when the child doesn't know better or even how to talk to tell about it!
Hearing her story was huge for me and so validating. I’m 25 years old, I’m a childhood trauma survivor, diagnosed CPTSD. She said something that brings light to what I’m experiencing now. For the first time in my entire life, I’m in a safe place to heal, physically, and mentally. This new phase has been so challenging. I have been wondering why suddenly, things seemed harder…especially emotionally even though, my life was simplified physically…It’s because it’s finally my time to heal from within and work through it and reinvigorate my experienced world. 💙 Thank you beyond words. Pure love and healing to all of you. We DO recover.
3:04 I'm 51 as well. My name is "Carrie". What an ominous and harrowing story. I'm literally relating to her on a cellular level. My memories start and go back as far as 2 years old. Thank you, Carrie. My heart to you. We do heal. We never forget though. 🙏❤️
Wow, my nickname is also Carrie, and I can remember being diddle whilst being potty trained by my mother, which caused me a great deal of suicidal depression and insomnia as a preteen and still often today😮😢
My name is also Carrie, but it's spelled Kari.
Carrie I was thrilled to hear u found out precious Saviour to get thru your struggles. He is the true healer. God bless u and your family.
Yeah, but........ If God was really there for her....... Why did he let that happen to her in the first place? Why does he let this happen to anyone?
This was the consequence of their parents evil deeds. Don’t blame God for that, unfortunately in this broken world, the descendants of parents living in sin will carry the consequences and curses their parents carried. But she found Jesus or better say Jesus found her. I think He was actually there with her all the way through and healed her when it was the right time. Thanks God for your mercy. I
Know for my own life story that if it wasn’t for Him, my life would have been tremendously different. Gosh bless you Carrie. God is good and as you well said, he turned ashes for
Glory. Amen
@@NovaSS65 for God to intervene In the way you're suggesting would inhibit/block free will..
We aren't robots living out a pre-planned simulation. We are free thinking, free choosing beings. With that said, we can trust the third law of motion. Which is "every action has an equal or greater reaction".. in layman's terms, cause and effect.
The good Lord does not take away our free will. Otherwise he'd basically be a psychopath. Creating us to sin and then punishing us for doing what he created us to do. All the while telling us not to do it..
Instead of forcing your agenda upon others maybe you could just listen to them.
@NovaSS65 because he's not real. When good things happen, they give him all the glory, but when bad things happen, it has nothing to do with god or... it's the devil. People continue to live in delusion.
Omg. Not even 5 min in and want to cry. How awful/ what a strong woman!!!!
Same so sad I cited 😞 what’s cruel parents I can’t not even comprehend since 3 like I can’t not comprehend sooo sickening
I remember. For 80 years I have remembered.
Amazing, thank you for your courage!
God remembers too because whatsoever you do to the least of these you've done it unto Him. The wrath of God abides on them. Very scary what awaits them.
I need to say firstly, I wished Carrie didn't need to even do this work, it feels like this can also be a burden. I am so struck by the beautiful soul on the screen, telling this story. All I want to do is SCREAM from the roof tops for someone to go and drag her parents out into the middle of the town centre and inflict just a tiny taste of the pain that she endured and still endures. I sense the tattoo on Carries chest is her sisters urn possibly. You beautiful, strong, amazing, smart and just unreal human being. I know you are helping hundreds. PLEASE don't forget about yourself. You don't have to be perfect, you don't have to save everyone, you just have to be... Huge love to you Carrie, from Ireland XOX
You are a beautiful empath ❤ I can feel your soul through your message. Hello I would love to go to Ireland and visit my great grandparents I never got to meet where from Ireland their last name was Hinch. Everything about Ireland is beautiful I just feel like it's home I wanna move their
What a beautiful message born of truth, love, empathy and compassion. You are an amazing human being who possesses an extraordinary degree of enlightenment and understanding. You are a blessing to everyone with whom you encounter. 😊❤
."...my first act of rebellion was remembering." *instant goosebumps* so powerful.
Carries story is proof that evil exists and always has!
I agree and I can’t stand people who say it doesn’t. There are plenty of evil people who have no excuse for the atrocities they inflict upon people and animals.
I’ve been binge watching this channel & once I got to the Trafficking stories my stomach dropped! I kept passing up the videos because I am a rape & dv Survivor 💜. From 5 to 11 years old I was groomed, raped, tortured, sold, & brainwashed by my uncle. He programmed me to be his little ‘princess’ or ‘kitten’. I learned to disassociate when horrible things were happening to me. I still have chunks of memories missing & get flashbacks. Certain things , smells, or even sounds make me want to go into fight or flight mode. I have CPTSD, anxiety, flashbacks, & OCD. It has taken me along time to somewhat heal. The trauma I endured will always be with me. I can finally say it was NOT my fault, I did not deserve it, I didn’t ask for it, & I love myself. I used to have so much anger & hatred in my heart. I didn’t get any type of justice all because of the people my uncle knew. It was like what happened to me didn’t happen. There was no ‘proof’ even though I remember being recorded 😢. I am glad I decided to watch these videos because these women are absolutely AMAZING, BRAVE, STRONG, & SURVIVORS! Y’all are enough & deserve so much better. Thank you for telling your stories! I promise you it will help so many people. I tell my story to help others & let them know they’re not alone. Sending you so much love & prayers 🩷.
We are in the beginning stages of developing a series about domestic violence
You are an extraordinary warrior survivor! Please look into EFT Tapping (emotional freedom technique) which is a simple powerful scientifically proven tool to release stress, trauma and negative beliefs. Loads of free resources on Google and RUclips but I hope you've had some professional support first- therapy, EMDR, support groups, etc. Even war vets have very improved ptsd from EFT.
Have you gotten help?😇💕
I'm so very sorry this happened to you. And I'm sorry you didn't receive justice 😢💔
I'm so terribly sorry that it happened to you and that you did not get justice. You are strong and brave and they will have to answer for what they did to you.
I am so happy you survived...I'm so sorry for what has happened to you , no one deserves such horror. God bless you ❤️
This video really got to my heart. This poor little innocent girl having her childhood stolen and replaced with such torture is unfathomable. God Bless her and her deceased sister. I just recently learned that the city I live in is one of the highest cities for sex trafficking and I got sick to my stomach. I pray that these evil people are exposed and brought to justice before they continue to prey on innocent children.
They are all high in trafficking- it’s literally everywhere
Ms. Carrie, I don't know how you can be so strong. Thank you for sharing your story, and I wish you the best.
Firstly, Carrie, you do not look anywhere near 51 years old.
Thank you very much for sharing your experience and explaining why and how your freedom is even now ongoing.
I pray you'll experience heaven's love and comfort in mourning the loss of your sister.
All blessings to you and yours. ❤
You must be 8 years old, she absolutely looks 51, just a good 51
I am a survivor of child abuse and you hit a cord with me. I struggled with math was horrible at it couldn't process it and many other things because of my trauma. You are a warrior and I admire your strength! I love you for telling your story. May the heavenly father rain down his love and peace over you.
You can go 2 ways. Make a difference in your tragedy like God wants or crumble. This lady is doing Gods work. And will have a place in heaven
Carrie, I love you and the light you spread to survivors everywhere. You are the embodiment of hope. I am so grateful you became the wonderful woman you are.
What a beautiful human being you are! Children are our most precious treasures and we are losing them all to evil. God bless you.
I'm so sorry what you have gone through in your life. I wasn't traffiked but I was sexually abused bu a step grandfather and 2 uncles for years. I understand what you were saying about God and your mind protecting you from certain aspects of the trauma. God Bless you.
I can only imagine how proud your sister would be of you
OMGoodness! I was trafficked. It was what she said, Familial trafficking. I knew we were sexually abused and I knew we were passed around in the neighborhood. I’m in such shock. I didn’t know what we experienced fit the definition. Wow. I’ve also been an insomniac since childhood. I spent so many decades on the verge of suicide. I really didn’t know that what was happening wasn’t normal. We were 5 and 6 years old. It want until I moved out of that neighborhood and I wasn’t being abused and I met kids who weren’t sexual that I began to realize it wasn’t normal. Fortunately I’ve done a lot of therapy- like my whole life! I did EMDR and now know how to thrive!
You are an amazing !!! Person
Thanku for your story
Lena from

@@lenajones1628 thank you dear.
She's a very beautiful human being and I am so proud of her for being a WOMAN, the strongest kind on earth ❣️
Not all. We aren't losing them all. They are all in danger, but not all lost
My heart aches for her so much. ❤ she is so well spoken and shared her story of hell and I am so sorry she carries this with her.
This is an incredibly sad story even within the first 60 seconds. My heart is broken for her. I hope her parents are in prison.
Yes where are the parents, if out, still abusing!
Yes, I would also like to know if your parents finally were picked up, hopefully incarcerated , perhaps they still are? Just curious if they admit their guilt?
There's nothing more heartbreaking than a parent hurting their own child or any child in this way. As a parent, we should lay down our life for our children, not destroy them. As a mom, I'd rather die or suffer myself than ever have my child hurt like this.
What a strong woman you are. Praise God that you have faith despite the atrocities that happened to you and all the young girls in your family...and the lifetime of pain it caused. May God keep you safe. May God hold your sister close. I'm sorry for the loss of your sister and your childhood.
God Bless You ♥️✝️ you are a WARRIOR !!!
You are walking out your journey with such grace and beauty. God is so faithful ❤. You keep helping and sharing!
Poor little girl 😔 im so sorry God bless you, I want to give you a hug
I was raped until I was 18 , so glad to have moved forward and realized I was not at fault, so glad you moved passed it
This is the Most important channel on RUclips right now. Thank you for your story
Well golly, thank you. Thank you for watching.
Carrie, you are such a beautiful person! So inspiring and authentic. Thank you for sharing this.
Reality truly is far more horrifying than any fiction we create. The fact this problem continues to be a serious issue is mind boggling, but to add to it many people were like Carrie betrayed by their own parents, their families is unimaginable. But Carrie is strong so unbelievably strong you’re definitely absolutely a hero.
What in the hell were these parents thinking when they put their young daughters through unimaginable abuse? How could they allow it??
Why didn't they do it?
Thank you Carrie for telling your story.
They're just monsters, degenerates...
Y didn’t they sell there selves
$$$$
Carrie’s dad wanted to abuse his daughters. That’s why it started. Those parents are not parents. They are not human
Carrie, what an incredible message and incredible bravery. God shines through you and I feel honored to have heard your testimony. I pray your message continues to spread and thank you for doing such hard, but important work. ❤
My heart goes out to you, you lovely brave lady. You are strong beyond belief!
Two and a half minutes in and im crying and want to hug you so bad. I am so sorry you had to endure this. Thank you for reaching out and making the public aware, hopefully it will inspire people to be watchful and to help the little innocents.
You have overcame so much trauma. God bless you and your family ❤️
“My first act of rebellion was remembering.” That’s beautifully said but so, so sad. 😢❤
Carrie, your story is unbelievable and outrageous. You are an inspiration!
You Madam. You are strong, brave, intelligent and an amazing human being. I applaud you!
What a beautiful soul you are, Carrie! What a treasure and gift to the world that you are. You will help rescue so many in your sister’s honor.
Love + Gratitude Carrie for sharing your story❤Power be with You...
What a beautiful, articulate, loving woman. Someone to strive to be like!! Thank you Carrie.
Carrie you are so strong and beautiful. Thank you for opening up to help other women
I am so sorry for the loss of your Sister. I am curious as to the outcome of your parents and their situation now (should be jail). I too am in TX and women's rights are not good here. God bless you Carrie.
They aren't incarcerated. They are probably elderly.
I too was sexually abused and violated at a young age. God bless you and keep you. God healed me of all the traumatic memories of the years of abuse.
You are amazing! I'm so sorry you endured these horrors. What you have done with it is truly miraculous!
God bless you, my prayers are with you.❤
What an adorable and brave woman! Just, wow. I can't believe she went through so much and overcame so much.
Thank you for telling your story. It is so important for other survivors to hear that they are not alone. Thank you for all of your efforts ❤
Sexual molestation and assault was not illegal in the 80s when it happened to me and my sister. Thank you for helping me understand something that I repressed and now remember. I never thought it was right it hurt and felt ick as you said. But, my sister was groomed differently and also was in it longer by our dad. I didn't have a problem looking straight in my dad's eyes to show him how he was hurting me with disgust. I thank God for it too.
You keep talking Carrie...especially for those who can't. God Bless You for your courage and strength!
wow! what a beautiful spirit; what a beautiful woman. thank you so much for telling your important story, carrie. i find you absolutely amazing.
Bless you🙏🙏🙏
Thank you for sharing your story. We all need to wake up and stop this. My prayers for you and your healing.
I am so sorry Carrie this happened to you and your sister. Unfortunately this is happening all the time. It is disgusting..Keep doing your good work. I am so sorry your sister left this earth so deeply wounded. Praying for you. 🙏🏻❤️
You are a beautiful person inside and out 🙏🏻❤️I pray you have continued healing
What a strong woman. Her amazing story was hard to hear, but her courage, healing & helping others was so inspiring.
you ARE A WONDERFUL woman. god bless you
Thank you for making this video. Your work is not in vain . I needed to hear this❤
Such a profound story of wrong and despair and hope and healing. I had a childhood with a dirty little family secret but by the grace of God I was healed as well. Thank you THANK YOU for sharing your story it’s something I can never do. Thank you✌️🫶❤️
Thank you Carrie, that was heart breaking. ♥️🙏
Evil exists in many shapes and forms. This is why I always talk to my kids about it since they were very very little. Always,always,always be vigilant of our babies. I’m so sorry you had to go through this, I send you a big hug from the bottom of my heart. ❤️ ❤
My mind is whirling. How cruelly you were raised. I’m sorry for it all. Bless you sweet woman of God. Keep up the good work ❤⭕️❌⭕️❌🙏😢
What a precious and beautiful soul you shine that amazing light sweetheart! Continue living in His grace and mercy. and sometimes remember it’s your turn to just be held. ❤
Thank you for your bravery and generosity in sharing your story
So glad you made it… so sorry about your sister 💚 you are so needed in our world 🤗
Sorry you had to go through all that God Bless you
Carrie quoted from Isaiah "beauty for ashes". She found strength through her faith to do this work, to relive her pain over and over to be able to help people going through the same thing. Carrie, you're not just a mom, grandma, wife and artist. You're also an inspiration!
Thank you for having the strength to share your story.
Phenomenal . Thank you for devoting your life to helping others and thank you so much for making all these many many documentaries about the victims of fentanyl and abuse. ❤
Thank you for your comments. We’re grateful to be doing this kind of work.
Wow! I'm so proud of this woman. I work in this fight as well for similar reasons. Child SA and trafficking. I have such a difficult time, still today bc of CPTSD as a residual effect. Helping others and bringing awareness of this issue is a passion and the only thing that helps heal that wound.
God bless you today, tomorrow and always! Sorry that happened to you when you were a baby!! Sending a big hug!
What an incredible human, her beautiful heart and soul shine through her words and face.
OMG! No Words!!!
Carrie Dear, thankyou so much or sharing your story, i am sitting here with tears in my eyes for that little girl you were, and your sister as well. I'm so sorry she couldn't find the strength and healing that you did, bless you for helping other survivors find healing!
Carrie, you are surprisingly articulate and well spoken. I am so sorry for the hurt little girl you were ( and still are, on the inside). I can actually say that I know how you feel. My own daddy was my abuser. I'm 60 now, and I'm finally coming to understand myself, if you know what I mean. Prayers of healing comfort for you 🙏🕊️🙏.
If I ever feel sorry for myself, I will remember this strong, amazing ladys story. 😢 Thank you for helping others.
God bless you! You are brave, strong & so articulate.
I am so deeply sorry that the very people who were supposed to protect you and your sister allowed such horror.
Thank you for sharing your story. You are amazing 👏🏼 ❤🙏
Thank you for sharing your story you're awesome 💜
Thank you for your support, strength and courage and love for every person
Your a real superhero. thank you for your resiliency and your ability to help others through your journey. You’re very inspiring. Blessings.
Oh sweetie I’m so glad you shared your story and found your healing especially in christ. I have a cousin that had a terrible childhood with similarities. It’s grooming 😢 and so so evil 👿 😢🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Carrie you are a beautiful soul. Thank you for your service to humankind. ❤
This is so heartbreaking! It has me in tears. Thank you for telling your story.
As a Mother this story rocked me to my core and absolutely broke my heart.💔
You are an amazing woman of power! May you be blessed in your work for the many hurt.
Carrie, you have a remarkable spirit and beauty ❤️. Thankyou for helping other victims by making beauty out of ashes. Your an inspiration.
I'm so sorry for your great loss. I'm glad you're bringing good out of this tragic event and the great pain you've experienced
God bless you.
Thank you for having the courage to share your story and to continue to bring awareness to human trafficking.
You are in my prayers tonight.
I'm so sorry for your losses. Your sister and yourself.
