⚠️ WARNING: Discretion advised ⚠️ As you read this, and in every minute that goes by, 156 images and videos of children being sexually abused, raped and even enduring sadistic torture are being traded, distributed, and shared across the world through the darkest parts of the internet for self-gratification.... This is called CSAM (Child Sexual Abuse Material), and it is an evil that has been hiding in the darkness of our communities, our homes, and the internet for too long and it’s past time we exposed it to the light. 🧵 Below ⬇️show more

Today on World Day Against Trafficking, child trafficking will get a lot of attention, and we need to do everything we can to stop it and protect our children. I believe every person on this earth is created in the image of God – uniquely, beautifully, and perfectly. Their value is priceless, and they are not for sale! @tebowfoundation has been in this fight for more than 10 years, and Lord willing, we will do what we can to get to as many lives as we can.   …But what most people don’t know is that the majority of victims are trafficked down the hallway, in their own homes.

Sometimes people will refer to this as child pornography, but that's just not the truth. It's just not. So many of these videos and images taken of children are so much worse than that. It is abuse, it is rape, and sometimes it is as horrific as sadistic torture. If this is your first time hearing about CSAM, please allow me to share the depth and difficulty of this evil.

According to NCMEC, the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children, of the actively traded images online, fathers are the number one producers of CSAM. The other most common abusers are within their circles of trust, with stepfathers and family friends also on the list for committing these horrific crimes.   According to the Internet Watch Foundation, the United States hosts more websites with CSAM than any other nation in the world.

So many children are suffering with nowhere to turn, nowhere to go, and no one to talk to because instead of refuge, their own homes have become a place of their worst nightmares, and instead of love and safety, sometimes their own families have become a source of torture.   One survivor of child sexual abuse shared in her victim impact statement, "When I was a little girl and when I was being photographed [while] and [being] raped, I used to try to send messages with my eyes down the lens in hope[s] that one day a good person might see and come help me."

My hope and prayer is that we can be those ‘good people.’ We can be the people who don’t look away. While this may be hard to read… How much harder and more tormenting is it for these children to live in this? What’s more important, our comfort or their freedom? I hope we have the courage to not just hear this, but to act on this so that we can protect and love these children suffering so much.

This is why we chose unKNOWN as my 36th birthday fundraiser. To learn how we hope to push back this evil, please visit

It’s hard to not be overwhelmed by the horror that so many boys and girls are experiencing every day. Sometimes it'll make you feel like, “how could we possibly take the next step, there is just so much evil, so much pain, and so much anguish.” But then you remember what a big God we serve and how He loves every single one of these lives more than we ever will. Even in the darkest moments, the heartbreaking stories, we place our hope in Jesus to lead us to one more life, and one more life.  Hope also comes from the stories of redemption like this one from a beloved member of our survivor family, as she writes…   “Back when I was in my home, my mom would always [tell] told me that I am nothing, I am worthless and I am ugly. But God sent people to love me and to give me the love that my family wasn’t able to give to me. When I came here to Compassionate Hope and Tim Tebow Foundation, they treated me like their own child and I found my safe place here.” Let’s keep going, let’s get to many precious children as we can! Thank you for your support and prayers.

😞 that’s why people need to go see sounds of freedom 🙏.

@azgffan1 Heartbreaking. Why isn't our government doing more to stop this🤬😢

Number one reason I screamed against masking of children. When a country decides keeping adults safe should be on our children's shoulders, we are a lost society. Covering their faces made it hard to identify them, 2 see physical abuse and whether their mouths were taped closed.
