Crowder Not contributing ≠ contributing. šŸ™ƒ You can’t sit back, ignore missing children and then pretend you’re raging against the machine. That’s not rebellion, that’s surrender. If you’re serious about protecting kids, defending freedom, and stopping corruption — you have to

The answer is never to do nothing. Ignoring child abuse doesn’t keep kids safe — it guarantees the abuse continues. If children in your neighborhood need help, yes — it’s on all of us. All of us should be willing to help and there’s so much we can do to be the safe adult kids

šŸ’ÆšŸ›”ļøProtect them. That means setting boundaries. Unsafe people should never have access to your child, no matter who they are. Title, blood relation, age, or family pressure doesn’t matter—your child’s safety always comes first. Here’s the truth: predators often hide behind

I was born and raised in a ā€œJesus cultā€ that weaponized Scripture. So when people say ā€œour laws should reflect the Bible,ā€ I get why they feel that way—but we need to stop and think. šŸ¤” Yes, the Bible has moral principles about truth, justice, and protecting the vulnerable. But

Most kids who are being abused don’t realize it’s abuse. They think it’s normal. Or it’s their fault. Or they’ve been trained to stay quiet. That’s why it’s not enough for adults to just ā€œmind our business.ā€ It’s our responsibility to pay attention, ask questions, and stay
