The veil between trusted mentorship and predatory manipulation is thinner than most parents realize. In this powerful and emotionally raw conversation, returning guest David Solomon shares his deeply personal journey from being an 11-year-old fan of Christian fantasy author Bryan Allen Davis to becoming a victim of human trafficking allegedly orchestrated by the very man whose books once brought him closer to God.
David's testimony strikes a devastating contrast—how Davis's "Dragons in Our Midst" series initially saved him from suicidal thoughts and strengthened his faith, only for the author to allegedly exploit that trust through private messages introducing sexual topics to the young boy. The turning point came during David's most vulnerable moment, when his mother received a terminal cancer diagnosis and Davis allegedly arranged for David's trafficking, leading to 12 years of trauma.
The urgency of this conversation centers on Davis's upcoming book "Sacred Scales," targeting 8-9 year old readers. David's voice breaks as he connects this marketing strategy to attempted contact with his own young son, revealing how predators maintain access to potential victims through their creative work. More disturbing still is how Davis allegedly continues to harass survivors after they escape, contacting their doctors, banks, attorneys and family members to disrupt their attempts at rebuilding their lives.
This episode serves as both testimony and warning. It illuminates how predators can weaponize spiritual authority, teaching children to distrust parents and positioning themselves as morally superior. For parents, conference organizers, churches, and homeschool groups, the message is clear: vigilance is essential when someone seeks private communication with your children, regardless of their reputation or the apparent value of their creative work. The devastation in David's voice when he asks, "How can someone who loves God so much hurt God's children so much?" echoes long after the episode ends.
