Trafficking Children
In 2008, Emily Cablek faced an event that every parent fears - her two children were abducted. To make matters worse, the children were taken to Mexico. Not only is it difficult to locate such children in Mexico, law enforcement resources in Mexico are often stretched thin. This, combined with government corruption, makes it nearly impossible to return these children to their homes. Mrs. Cablek was lucky. Four years after her son and daughter were kidnapped by their father, he was sent to jail and she was reunited with her children. The U.S. State Department estimates that 2000 U.S. children each year are abducted across international borders with a third of them going to Mexico. In fact, the U.S./Mexico border is the number one destination for international child abductions. Sadly, this is not a one-way street. The number of abducted children coming into the U.S. is ten times higher, and ridiculously easy to do. Human trafficker are using undocumented migrants from Central America to bring children, thousands of children, into the United States. Since 2017, there has been a 314% increase in migrants claiming to be the parents of children that are not their own. In a recent report, the Department of Homeland Security estimated that 20,000 children were illegally smuggled into U.S. just during the month of December 2018. Over 350 of these children were discovered at Points of Entry while almost 4800 were found at barrier-less sections of the border. Where are these children headed? The United States is one of the highest consumers of child sex abuse content (i.e. child pornography) in the world. According to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC), 18% of this content is produced by a parent or guardian, 25% is produced by a neighbor or family friend, and 18% from online enticement. That means a third of this content is being produced by abusing children abducted from other countries. In 2013, Tim Ballard started Operation Underground Railroad, a non-profit organization that assists governments fight human smuggling and rescue people from sex trafficking. As a former anti-trafficking operator with the CIA and the Department of Homeland Security, Mr. Ballard was recently invited to address the Congressional... continued on page 6...

Barbara Carol Razee
obit ua r ies
Barbara Carol Razee, 76, passed away peacefully while surrounded by family, Thursday, April 25, 2019 in Burley, Idaho. Barbara was born December 5, 1942 in San Francisco, CA to Maude Turnbull and Howard Louthan. Growing up in Taylorsville, CA, Barbara’s love for the outdoors was obvious; whether riding horses, fishing, hunting or just spending time with family and friends. She loved being outside. It was there she met the love of her life, our dad, Richard “Dick” Allen Razee. The high school sweethearts soon married and so began a 41-year marriage so full of love and adventure lasting until dad’s passing in 2001. Mom has missed him so, but is now, we are sure, dancing again with dad. From square dancing to two stepping, they loved to dance and did so beautifully and effortlessly together. Family was so important to mom and it showed in every aspect of her life. She was at every birthday party, game, play, performance or event for her children, and later her grandchildren and great grandchildren. It didn’t matter where, whether driving to Burley or to Nevada for a two hour birthday party. Mom and dad always showed up, even getting their own 800 number so their grandkids could call anytime with no long distance charges! Right to the end mom kept her sense of humor and quick wit. As the family spent time with her Thursday and would crack a joke, we would see that sly grin on mom’s face. As her granddaughter, Lindsey and great granddaughter, Kelsey played guitar and sang, mom would smile and tap her foot to the music. Hunting, fishing, water skiing, camping, wood cutting, hiking for hours through the snow to find “the tree” for Christmas our time with mom was priceless, her calm understanding and unwavering love was unmatched. She was a dental assistant, a school secretary, a special needs teacher, an EMT, a volunteer firefighter, a hunter, a camp cook, a fisherman, a loving devoted wife and she was our mom. Barbara is survived by: her brothers - John Louthan and David Turnbull (Erma); sisters - Gladys Miller and Tressa Bowen; sons - Doug Razee and Scott Razee (Kim); daughter - Marianna McWilliams (John); grandchildren - Ryan Razee (Tosha), Lindsey Christopherson (Brandon), Melissa McWilliams (Rusty), Justin McWilliams (Tahna) and Austin McWilliams; great grandchildren - Zander, Kelsey, Taigan, Dillon, Pheonix, Emmett, Ryker, Jonah and Jasper. She was preceded in death by: her husband - Richard (Dick) Razee; and her parents - Howard Louthan and Maude Turnbull. A Celebration of Life was held at her daughter, Marianna’s house on Saturday, May 4, 2019. Cremation arrangements by Demaray Funeral Service – www.demarayfuneralservice.com

...Trafficking Children continued
...Border Security Subcommittee regarding this problem. Based on the data of how these people are being smuggled into the U.S., the most effective way to stop this horrendous human abuse is to put up barriers to choke the supply. It is much easier to identify and apprehend traffickers when we control how and where they enter our country. Unfortunately, Mr. Ballard was not allowed to say any of this to the subcommittee. The chairwoman, Kathleen Rice (D - New York), said his testimony was irrelevant to the issue of separating undocumented families at the border. According to Mr. Ballard the two issue couldn’t be more connected. Traffickers are using U.S. policy regarding the separation of undocumented families to smuggle children. All they have to do is walk a child into the United States, surrender themselves to U.S. officials, and in 20 days they will be released in the United States. They can also send a child alone, then someone will show up at the Border Protection office to claim the child. “Hello, I’m Uncle George, and 6-year-old Isabel, who is in your custody, is my niece.” Border Protection has almost no choice but to turn the child over. Uncle George has to sign for the child and promise to bring the child back on the assigned court date for either a deportation or asylum hearing, but 66% of children are never brought back for court. They are gone. Vanished forever.

IT’S A RETIREMENT CELEBRATION
Now that high school graduation is just about here for approximately 22,000 Idaho high school seniors, the Idaho State Board of Education is reminding them that they can still go to college in the fall, even if they haven’t yet applied. Approximately 11,000 postcards arrived in mail boxes throughout the state this week, sent to seniors who haven’t submitted applications to one or more of Idaho’s eight public colleges and universities. Last fall, the State Board sent letters to Idaho’s entire senior class informing them that they had already been admitted and all they had to do was apply to the school or schools of their choice using the State Board’s Apply Idaho website. About half of the senior class responded, while the other half hasn’t. “The idea behind this it to put out a message to high school seniors who haven’t decided if they are Please come help us celebrate their dedicated service going to “go-on” to school this fall, be it full-time or part-time, that it isn’t too late to make those to the students, staff and parents of plans,” State Board College and Career Advising Program Manager Byron Yankey said. Camas County School District. The postcard contains a link to a Next Steps webpage designed to answer questions hesitant seniors may have about enrolling in college or a career technical program. The State Board also sent the postcard to former students who graduated a year ago and never enrolled. “These are students who may have taken a year off to work,” Yankey said. “The message is the same for former students, that it is still not too late to make plans for one’s future. All told we sent Puzzle #1 - Easy Puzzle #2 - Hard out about 18,000 post cards this week and we’ll follow that up next week with a personalized email to each current and former student.” ~ Legal Notices ~ Legal Notices ~ Legal Notices ~ Legal Notices ~
