Yes, I agree. Some gang members said they were going to “keep the ho’s for themselves”*. And planned to give ME to others. This was around 1977-1979 time frame in Honolulu, HI when I learned about it. I am not certain who was holding me at the time, nor who I may have been traded to. I was not a trained “ho”. NEVER EVER. In fact my body was very injured from gang violence early in life. I may have been AT PUNAHOU SCHOOL campus during this conversation.
More than one “Trippy Dodds” had appeared. One was a boy, another a small tough Mexican criminal man. The criminal man was VERY ANGRY that I didn’t “want him”. I tried to explain my age. I was in SECOND GRADE… SEVEN YEARS OLD… at the time. YES, they were THERE ON CAMPUS and IN A CLASSROOM. I had befriended the boy and did not know who this very ill behaved man was.
I may have gotten Punahou as a “construction person” here’s why. They asked me to leave when “[I]… was not paying for things.” I was actually spoken to as if I were a lead of a construction team and not seeing that people and things were paid for. “You are causing a problem at the construction site…” the man started to tell me while talking to me while I was on a walk between buildings on the campus. “I’m NOT AT THE CONSTRUCTION SITE. What construction site?” He basically asked me to LEAVE PUNAHOU because I was not managing a construction team properly!**
* A Mexican Donovan male in San Diego HAD HIRED men and women to be “ho’s” in Hollywood and possibly elsewhere. These people made million$ over time. I was NOT AN ADULT HO WITH THEM AT ALL!!! Originally some looked ANGRY WITH ME… and I was NOT that Mexican Donovan. Not even a good friend. There was an older one and a younger “Mexican Donovan”. He/they looked like human traffickers and worked for La Jolla, CA people. One of them wanted to snoop me with his TWO MEXICAN DAUGHTERS and I got upset, real upset back then. I was young, it is very possible there may have been MANY “Mexican Donovans” that were human traffickers.
**It was NOT THE FIRST TIME… I was somewhere and asked to leave, and leaving behind adults(usually more than one) after I had been there first. I was somewhat used to it. I may have asked when I could come back. I thought I needed schooling?
I’m now beginning to think I got Punahou as a child of construction people… and that’s how I got the classrooms! Someone may have put me WITH OTHER CHILDREN that belonged to the construction people… like a school/day care while they were working? Is that how it began? Is that why adults just showed up at the classrooms to harass children and tell the teachers what they wanted to happen? Why they so easily removed me from the campus and put me back again?
