    Iattended your talk at SSU and was very impressed and awed by your poise, articulation of the material and your life experience and your strength to move forward in the healing process of yourself and to educate other survivors and the general public. I did want to ask you what have you done to stop/limit the "trafficking" in your hometown of San Jose, as that is it where you were first exposed? I know you are not at the point to press charges on your parents, but what about the "venues" that dealt in the "trafficking"?
