(Article on p. 12) (Contd.. on p. 4) 29 May 2017 3 (Contd.. from p. 3) Even some of the children rescued from the traffickers are not happy to be rescued. They are dependent and have been "bonded" by debts, gifts, and drugs to the trafficker. They see him or her as their "best friend," even as their sex partner. At first, they don't want to admit they were abused and would not file a complaint. They usually don't see that they need help. They want to get drugs to deal with the trauma of having been found and rescued as sexually exploited children. They need to cover up their shame from their parents, brothers, sis- ters, friends, and relatives. Social workers have to counsel them and take them through the reality of their lives in an emotional expression therapy. There in the padded therapy room, they release a lot of anger and pent-up emotions. They are an- gry at their parents for abandoning them or misunderstanding them or scolding them. Day after day, they release their anger at themselves, their abusers, and their parents. They move from the feelings stage to the thinking stage and only later change their at- titude and realize their worth as persons with rights and dignity. This is a profound shift in a human person — from a willing victim to an empowered youth looking for justice. They become children again who look forward to a brighter future. The fight for justice for the children goes on.
