Extreme PTSD from having children trafficked

[masterblster]

I have had my son trafficked in Australia from a baby to 8 years of age by Thai mother. This caused extensive brain damage to my child due to sexual assault for 0-3 years. Have learnt all about trauma damage the brain and over 5 years learnt all.

Been very hard as hard find specialised help. all research has been done by the FBI in the USA but in Australia we very lacking in helping families of trafficked children.

Require government and community support.

Dear Masterblster~

I'm at a loss how to reply to you, it is simply so horrific and sad for you and your child.

I'd like to add the Blueknot Foundation as a possible source of information about treatment facilities and support. It may not be an exact fit but could be of some assistance.

There are also some Migrant Resource Centers in some cities that may know of experienced professionals.

If you think there is anything we here can do to help by talking with you then don't hesitate, you will always be welcome

Hi masterblster,

Thank you for joining this forum and I'm so glad that you reached out, and so sorry to hear of the trauma both you and your child experienced.

I did a bit of research after seeing your post, but a lot of them want to know your location or more details which of course I was unable to give them, so I'm going to list the organisations here and that way you can look into them more yourself if you think it will be helpful. They are: GoZoe, Save the Children Australia and Red Cross - who have a support for trafficked people program.

Hopefully you'll find these to be useful.
