Looking Beneath the Surface “Hands Holding Stephanie”
@ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OcIB6ws1Ajg
Richard A. Sands, retired Professional Investigator, is Board Chair/President of the
Michigan Rescue and Restore Coalition and current Board Chairman/President and
Project Director of the Families Against Narcotics (FAN) Downriver Chapter in
Wayne County. Mr. Sands has an associate degree in criminal justice, bachelor
degree in pre-law and currently working on his masters’ degree, developing a
restorative practice project/practicum for the social justice graduate degree
program at Marygrove College.
Richard’s 17-year old granddaughter, Stephanie Brown, illegally
hired to as an underage dancer, independent contractor, was sex
trafficked out of or from a local downriver strip-club in Lincoln Park and later
found dead of a fatal drug-overdose in the early morning hours of March 16,
2007. Richard will share his personal story about “Hands Holding
Stephanie” and the families, faith-based organizations, politicians, law
enforcement and volunteers working together to bring greater awareness,
education and provide prevention, protection, prosecution and partnerships.
Opportunities for our communities to help make a difference by saving lives and
being a voice for the voiceless girls, women, men and boys suffering/dying from
labor/sex and drug trafficking, will be the focus of this modern-day slavery
event presentation.
There will be plenty of free anti-trafficking information,
resources, poster material, flyers, videos and the “Hands Holding Stephanie”
quilt/blanket with 74 other children’s stories and signatures from around the
country will be on display for attendees to sign, wanting to “Look Beneath the
Surface” and make a difference for our communities safety, health and
welfare.
