In April of 2010, Timothy Bledsoe became aware of a social issue called Human Trafficking. Human Trafficking is a Social Issue, which violates the basic human rights of 30 million people from 127 different countries around world.
It all started over the signing of the Arizona's Immigration Law (S.B. 1070).Mr. Bledsoe became informed and educated before forming any personal opinion about Human Trafficking. He researched the bill online to make his own informed view on the matter at hand.
It was while reading Sec. 4. Section 13-2319 Smuggling; classification; definitions, that His eyes was opened to Human Trafficking in America .Later Mr. Bledsoe through his research would discover the issue of Domestic Minor Sexual Exploitation of children and teenage girls born in America.
Daily Mr. Bledsoe would commit to a couple of hours of research on the internet to become better informed and educated on the subject of Human Trafficking. The more He learned, the more His heart continued to break for the victims of this horrible crime. He read about their personal accounts and watches videos clip as they courageously told their stories about exploitation.
Many different emotions started to rise up in Mr. Bledsoe; he could feel the heartache and pain of the victims who had suffered greatly from being sold into sexual slavery. .Mr Bledsoe became angry which caused him to reach down deep inside himself and want to make a positive difference in the lives of these innocent victims.
The raw emotion of injustice boiled inside of Mr. Bledsoe. He thought how he could help the victims of Human Trafficking. For days, this question kept coming to His mind as He watched television hoping to see some local news station cover a story on Human Trafficking. Hoping to see some television show solely committed to telling the stories of these victims. Mr. Bledsoe Looked for anything that would raise awareness, and given hope to those victims still held captive in the nightmare of Human Trafficking.
Then one morning as Mr. Bledsoe was spending time in prayer ,these words came to His mind: “"What do you have in your hands? “What talents or gifts can you used to help the victims of Human Trafficking?"
Mr. Bledsoe remembered, He had worked years ago in broadcast television .He would then sit down and write out a script for a syndicated television series ,to raise awareness of commercialized sexual exploitation ;Telling the stories of the victims, and survivors. He would educate the public on the realities of the crime of Human Trafficking. Mr. Bledsoe wanted to give a voice to the victims, survivors, families and organizations that work every year to prevent, rescue and restore the lives of the victims of Sex Trafficking.
This is how the vision started for Mr. Bledsoe to creative a concept for the television show 'Sex Trafficking Teenage Girls an American Nightmare: Television Series...
Mr. Bledsoe wanted to give the victims, families and advocates a voice. He wanted to tell their stories in hopes to PREVENT, RESCUE AND RESTORE, so that no girl has to suffer from this nightmare forced on her ever again.
In April of 2010, Timothy founded Silverstone Television in Louisville Kentucky for the soul purposes of telling the stories of the victims of commercialize sex trafficking in America.
Timothy is actively pursuing production companies and national networks, which see the concept of the television show as a current social issue in America. Along with a television concept that is extremely marketable to their advertisers, the networks will also be able to reach their targeted demographic markets. With a message so deeply heart stirring. They will be able to targeted young teenage girls and women, which are mothers and parents in general, to the national syndicated market within the United States.
