A social media post has caught on like wildfire. It claims a religious group preaches "God the Mother" is involved with sex trafficking and uses a bible study to lure women. These claims have yet to be proven true. Anna Claire Beasley said all it takes is a Google search to learn these accusations are false.
"In each of these campuses the local police departments did an investigation and each time came up short." Beasley said. "There was nothing empirical data." Beasley said this rumor is taking away from the real issue...Sex trafficking definitely happens in Lubbock," Beasley said. "It's a big issue in most communities, and there's a lot of good work being done in Lubbock to combat it and I think when we sensationalize it and we kind of make it about us, that's when it can take away because we're not actually helping anyone by posting false information on the internet."
She said it is unlikely traffickers will target a college campus since most victims are low-income teens.
"Low risk, high profit, so is it low risk for somebody to try to come onto Tech campus and try to grab random strangers, probably not," Beasley said.
Police & FBI have confirmed it is just a rumor. The viral posts concerning the World Mission Society Church of God (God the Mother) are NOT how sex traffickers operate. Nobody is using the church's name or the doctrine of God the Mother as a tactic to try and lure people into a sex trafficking ring.
World Mission Society Church of God (WMSCOG) is the recipient of the highest award (US President's Volunteer Service Award - 16 times) of the office of the POTUS, the distinguished UK Queen's Award for volunteer service, and Europe's Prestigious Green Apple Award for environmental volunteer clean-up services.
