When You Care About Someone Being Pimped

By Jody Williams

What to do when you are a parent, guardian, of someone who is being pimped, or trafficked, or otherwise being led or coerced into the sex industry, and you are trying to figure out how to get them out/away of this whole situation is the purpose of this book.

I've had cases where they went on that simple first date only to not be heard from again. This book gives you tools on how to prevent this, as well as where to start once you feel these pimps or traffickers have locked onto your son or daughter, to help them break free and also recover.

This book was written by the founder of Sex Workers Anonymous. SWA is the oldest, and largest, group of survivors and ex-sex workers in the world. The hotline has answered over 500,000 calls to date.

Preface

I'm going to tell you a little here about my life, my experiences, and why I'm qualified to write this book to try and help you in a situation like you're in now. When I was first born, my life was ordinary enough. My mom was 18 years old and my dad 17 years old when they had an accident of my conception. They made the best of things and my dad got a job in the steel mill, while my mother studied stenography. After my mom got trained as a stenographer, she got a job working in the juvenile court system of Los Angeles. My father got tired of manual labor and became a union leader for the gas company. So growing up, I had a two parent normal life pretty much to begin with.

That was until my grandmother was murdered by my step-grandfather when I was about 11 years old. My grandmother and her second husband had a violent, abusive relationship. She married him after my grandfather had died of alcoholism. My grandmother stayed because she also had a gambling addiction and he was providing financial support while a bar she was trying to run wasn't doing well either.

Her murder triggered something in my father and I started being sexually abused by him. My mother just saw that he had stopped sleeping with her so she started taking diet pills to lose weight. This caused her to have severe mood swings that had her being violent and abusive towards me also. Seeing I was getting ready to call the police on what he was doing to me – my father orchestrated his great escape. This meant he was now out-of-state, and my mother was left owing a fortune to creditors because of loans he stuck her with. He also made sure to clean out my bank accounts taking my college money with him. I was having a lot of problems in school because of a combination of things – the effects of the abuse, a car accident which injured my back, along with having a genius IQ. To end the suffering, I decided to enroll in college by the time I was sixteen.

However, now I have to figure out a way to pay for school at an age when I can't even legally get a job. I looked older than my age, so I lied about it and got a job as a cocktail waitress at a nightclub in the valley. There I met a family who had bought the club to launder money earned from drug sales and prostitution. Seeing a young well-built smart girl with no social ties coming through their door – this family introduced me into a criminal lifestyle. My mother could see what was happening but had no idea what to do about it.

You have to realize the world didn't even believe in things like sex trafficking even being real back in the 1970's. The world's concept then of prostitution and drugs was that of a streetwalker with a needle in
