Oct. 7, 2008 (This video was originally damaged on Google and has now been replaced) 1:29 minutes Beware of scam artists, protect our children This past week I was able to get away for a couple days to work on my dissertation, but I quickly got sidetracked in the place where I was staying. There were over a hundred young people running around the hotel I was in, mostin their late teens or early twenties. This young people were not afraid to engage you in conversation, and would do so without hesitation. Quickly in the conversation though, I would notice that resopnses they were giving all seemed similar and did not have much specificity to them. Basically they were telling me that they were working in a contest and raising money for unspecified charities. They had been in the hotel for over a month, and were headed out each day to sell things, magazines and such. I went back and did my research and found that there are a number of scams happening all over the country where poor, uneducated, down and out kids are recruited, travel around the country going door to door using high pressure sales tactics and intimidation to sell non-existent products to unsuspecting people under the guise of raising money for a college trip or supporting a charity. These groups are fluent as young people are moved in and out of them. When they don't meet quotas they may be beaten up by peers, and left by the side of the road between towns. There is an underlying culture of drugs and sex with them. They are being exploited by people for financial gain. After I read about these things I went back and hung out in the areas where they were. I engaged a number of them in conversations. They tried to sell me this or that, and I tried to find out about their lives, and offered to pray for and with a number of them. None of them took me up on the offer. Most quickly moved on, though I do remember a couple looks I got later from some of the ones I had talked to and I can only hope something made a difference. As I reflected on all of this later, instead of writing my dissertation, I understood that these young people would be responsible for their actions, but I also felt anger for those who were using them. More than anything I had to ask myself, "Where were there parents?" There is no guarantee that life is going to work out well for any child, so many factors play a part. BUT, I have to believe that the chances for the child are so much better if the parents are involved, actively working with the child to set a path for his/her life. We are called to be faithful in raising our families. We are called to direct the course for them. We are not to try and scam them or sell them things that don't exist. So keep the faith, pursue the course. Pray often and without ceasing. We are here to pray with you. Pray for those who lost and wondering likes those I met this week. God is faithful. God wants the best for our children. (Rev. David A. Baillie is Pastor of Outreach Ministries at Chicago First Church of the Nazarene in Lemont.
