"Her mom used her innocence for profit. Her father, the man who should’ve protected her, turned a blind eye because the money was too good and earned them the nicest home in their community. There was no escape, and she didn’t even know to try. She had no advocates, and no one was looking for her.

The arrest of a European child predator revealed that a woman, named Bela, in the Philippines had been providing him with s*xually explicit images of a little girl.
It was her daughter.
Filipino authorities brought in The Scientia Program, a cross-NGO initiative we’re a part of, manned by a team of investigators armed with cutting-edge technology.
Using every tool at their disposal, the team found Bela’s home, deep in a rural community. They joined investigators in a raid on the home a few days later.
Armed officers rushed the home, subduing several men outside.
What they found inside was gut-wrenching.
A heartbreaking dichotomy emerged, revealing the horrible corruption of innocence in a family home: floral curtains and school awards existed alongside s*xual exploitation paraphernalia. A pink, heart-shaped Barbie ring light that was
likely used to create appalling videos. It was a gut-wrenching perversion of a home that bore the irreconcilable signs of a warm family and horrific s*xual abuse.
Bela and two accomplices were arrested.
The young survivor was quiet during the raid. She and her siblings must first learn that what their mother did was wrong before they can begin to heal.
They’ll begin their long journey toward recovery with loving caseworkers who will guide them through the horrific trauma they endured and, slowly, enable them to become children again.
