ALRIGHT! Just received an email from Amazon CEO saying that the book “Age of Consent” is no longer for sale. Still won’t do business with them, but glad they did the right thing. The Love146 campaign worked! Way to go!!!
As a licensed professional therapist for over a decade it burns me how this kind of crap gives our industry such a black-eye. Therapists are about HEALING not hurting! LMT’s UNITE! If you aren’t serving in an anti-human trafficking organization take the time to find out how you can. Literally millions of women and girls need you! Read this website for info on the problem and how to get hooked up with some great organizations.
