episode 6: 6 - Why Do I Stand with Sophie AND Her Two Brothers?
A disturbing case and situation that takes the internet by storm, thanks to the video taken at the time of Sophie's resistance to return back to where she was being sexually abused, exploited, and possibly trafficked. The system is failing girls like Sophie and boys her two brothers on a daily basis, this is just that one instance where we happen to have video. With the Victoria, Australia Gag Law, it makes you wonder, are Gag Laws coming to America? Sadly, we learn today that they are already here to some degree, and this is most likely not the first time this has happened.
Tune in to today's Episode as Lasina breaks down what is being displayed in the video, and why she chooses to stand with Sophie AND her two brothers. While the video and the case is quite disturbing, along with the entire reality of our current state, there is a victory and silver lining in this case, and Lasina shares some great news about Victoria's Gag Law as well.
