UNSPEAKABLE: The Hidden Truth Behind the World's Fastest Growing Crime, by Ahava Kids Founder and Director, Raymond Bechard, will finally bring the dark world of Child Trafficking into the light of day. Exposing this global attack against children is one of the most important missions of Ahava Kids and a lifelong passion of Raymond Bechard. With UNSPEAKABLE, you will experience what it is like to walk through the back alleys, the brothels, the battlefields, and even the magnificent mansions where children are being bought and sold into modern day slavery. Most people do not want to go where this extraordinary book will take them. But, to save children from the most horrible abuse imaginable, we must all find the courage and go. Together, we must speak for the children who are trapped in a life of silent torture. All proceeds from the sale of this book support the work of Ahava Kids.
Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
Raymond Bechard has dedicated himself to this topic for the past ten years. This is the culmination of that work. It should be required reading for every international leader in government and business. Once you pick this book up, you cannot put it down. Once you finish it, you cannot look at the world in the same way. --Archbishop LeRoy Bailey, Jr., Senior Pastor of The First Cathedral in Bloomfield, Connecticut
It is dangerous to go out in the streets and fight the people who are selling kids for sex. You can get killed for trying to stop them and for showing the world what they are doing. I am so glad Raymond Bechard has the courage to do both. This book is terribly important for anyone who truly cares about the future of our children. --Guy Jacobson, Producer - The Virgin Harvest
Raymond Bechard has written a great book; an important book. There is a horrific human rights abuse taking place right in front of us. UNSPEAKABLE finally brings child trafficking out of the shadows and into the light of day, exposing this crime for all of us to see. --Carol Smolenski, Executive Director, ECPAT, End Child Prostitution, Pornography and Trafficking

From the Publisher
This has never been done before. For the first time Raymond Bechard presents a disturbing report from the frontlines of the war against child trafficking. Compel Publishing is proud to present this important book. However, the reader must be cautioned. This is not a glimpse into the dark underworld of those who enslave our children, it is a long, hard look at it. With clarity of purpose and magnificent research Mr. Bechard offers us a choice: will we stand idly by while this crime continues or will we join the fight?

This review is from: Unspeakable: The Hidden Truth Behind The World's Fastest Growing Crime (Paperback)
Raymond Bechard's book is not for the faint of heart. I had to stop reading at various points because the material was so disturbing and profoundly affecting; when I finished, I had tears running down my face. Bechard presents the reality of trafficking - the human and ideological toll, and the immensity of its scope. The children's lives he recounts are beyond the understanding of most Westerners; the tableau is a nightmare. In conclusion, he provides the reader with various means of changing the situation - some easy, some bolder and more challenging. In essence, UNSPEAKABLE is a call to arms in the name of humanity.

This review is from: Unspeakable: The Hidden Truth Behind The World's Fastest Growing Crime (Paperback)
I believe this story could use more statistical information instead of just depending on the emotional stories depicted by people who suffered from human trafficking.
