Very good breakdown on fight against online child abuse, the tech harboring it, privacy and Apple’s experiment @karaswisher @aplusk podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/swa…
@ceciliakang @aplusk @karaswisher @karaswisher @aplusk Will you please cover the Ghislaine Maxwell trial. Should be a great fit since both of you are for protecting innocent girls / women. :)
@ceciliakang @aplusk @karaswisher On March 22 of this year, I fled the house where the trafficker had falsely imprisoned us. I went straight to the Sheriffs and the FBI. They filed no charges, claiming that there was not enough evidence, despite the fact that they denied the additional evidence that I offered.
@ceciliakang @aplusk @karaswisher They gave the trafficker our whereabouts and a copy of my full police report. He began sending me messages saying that he was aware of our exact location and that he knew that I had spoken with law enforcement.
@ceciliakang @aplusk @karaswisher This predator had threatened to m*rder me many times. I was terrified that he was going to track me down and k*ll me, as he had said he would, leaving no one to fight for my daughter’s safety and sanctity.
@ceciliakang @aplusk @karaswisher So, I did what any sane parent would do: I fled with her. We left New York and took a plane to North Carolina. When he lost track of us, our abuser accused me of kidnapping my own daughter. There had never been a prior custody agreement made.
@ceciliakang @aplusk @karaswisher Without any trial, investigation, or evidence, Buncombe County Sheriffs forcibly took my daughter from me, at the apartment that I had rented for us near Asheville. They told me that, legally, Khelus (my daughter) would only be released to NYS CPS, and not to the abuser directly.
@ceciliakang @aplusk @karaswisher Yet, two days later, our trafficker drove, by himself, from New York to North Carolina. My daughter was released to him directly, which is absolutely illegal. Khelus was returned to our abuser at 18 months old and she has now been alone with him since May 18.
@ceciliakang @aplusk @karaswisher Each day and night, for the past 6 months, I have spent every waking moment researching, making calls, writing emails, sending documents, and fighting in all the ways that I can think of, to rescue my daughter. Our family court date has now been postponed three times.
@ceciliakang @aplusk @karaswisher I have yet to meet my public defender, my daughter’s state-appointed attorney, or the judge, in person. Yet, Khelus is still in the full custody of the man who has molested her almost since birth. The Detective Lieutenant of our county sheriffs is married to the Director of CPS.
@ceciliakang @aplusk @karaswisher Please let me know how I can contact Thorn, if at all possible. I’m haunted by imagining what my very young child is enduring, at the hands of this person. He has been prominently active on the darkweb for over 12 years and he owns a large amount of servers hosting CSAM.
