Children Such as These

Children Such as These Welcome to my new organizational site for "Children Such as These". Thank you for your support! Jeff Pimentel
Founder

Children Such as These was born from Christ’s command to defend the least of these—rescuing, restoring, and fighting for children silenced by exploitation, trafficking, and abuse.
Our hope is that this organization will be on the forefront of bringing people to the reality of Child exploitation, will challenge people to a call-to-action, to rid this evil from our communities and to safeguard those that have been victims.

For more than 30 years, I served as a police officer and spent much of my career responding to emergencies, searching for missing people, and helping families during some of the most difficult moments of their lives.

One lesson never left me:
When a child goes missing, every minute matters.

Over the years, I often found myself asking the same question: Why does the clock work against us when a child is in danger?

That question eventually became Native Brigade, and later, Sentinel Guard™ and Adams Watch™.

This project wasn't created by a large corporation or a venture-backed startup. It was created because we believe children deserve every possible advantage during those critical first moments when time matters most.

The video below shares the story behind this mission, why it was created, and where we're headed next.

If the message resonates with you, I would be grateful if you would watch, share, and help spread awareness.

Together, we can help create better tools for protecting children and supporting the professionals who work every day to bring them home safely.

Because every minute matters...

✈️ TRAVEL AWARENESS

Summer is here. Many families are getting ready to board planes, check into hotels, sailing on a cruise, or hitting the open road. While travelers are focused on making memories, traffickers are looking for opportunities.

Each of these places mentioned are hot spots for Traffickers and victims are often hidden in plain sight.

As the summer begin, I challenge everyone reading this to be more aware and to spread the message:
• Pay attention to children who appear Fearful, Withdrawn, or Controlled.
• Someone not able to speak for themselves.
• Anything a reasonable person would feel is ʻOut-of-Placeʻ
• Trust your instincts and report concerns to 911.

Remember, awareness is not paranoia, its our responsibility!

The greatest weapon against traffickers is an informed public willing to pay attention and speak up.

As you travel this summer, keep your head on a swivel, because just one observation could make the difference between exploitation, rescue, and a life.

What Your Car Stickers Tell Strangers

We live in a world where people share more than they realize…
That sticker on the back window?

To you, it represents pride.
To a predator, it represents information.

*Your child’s school.
*Their sports team.
*Their jersey number.
*How many children you have.
*Even where the family spends its weekends.

Most parents never stop to think about it, but predators, traffickers, and criminals often pay attention to details the rest of us overlook.

Information displayed on vehicles can unintentionally help someone build a picture of your family’s routines and dynamics:

>“There are children connected to this vehicle.”
>“This child attends this school.”
>“They are likely at practice every Tuesday and Thursday.”
>“I know this child’s name before I ever speak to them.”

That last point matters most!

A stranger using a child’s name can instantly create false familiarity and trust.

As a retired law enforcement officer, I can tell you that protecting children does not begin during an emergency. It begins with Awareness, Prevention, and the small decisions we make every single day.

Think before advertising personal details to the world. The safest families are often the ones that reveal the least to people who don’t need to know

PROTECTOR
Men are taught to stand strong. To protect. To provide. To hold the line no matter what comes.

But there is no pain on this earth like a father searching for his child… and not knowing where they are.

Many men will never cry in front of another person. They will carry that weight silently.

They will break down behind closed doors. They will stare at empty bedrooms, untouched toys, photographs, and memories while trying to remain strong for everyone else around them.

But inside… a mighty Protector is at war!

Every second feels like failure. Every unanswered phone call feels like torture, and every night is a battle between hope and despair.

Men were created to protect their children…And when evil steals that peace, it shakes a man to his core.

As Christian men we feel the ground literally shaking, the earth is unsettled and many believe God is sending a message that humanity has lost its way.

As a Catholic man, I believe this with all my heart:
God will not be mocked, and He will not ignore the suffering of ‘The Least of These.’

Scripture calls children a gift from God… ‘the least of these’ entrusted to our protection. And God makes it clear throughout the Bible that He hears the cries of the innocent and will not ignore those who harm them.

To every father out there still searching, praying, and Standing the Watch long after everyone else has gone to sleep…

We see you.
We hear you.
You are Gods chosen to carry the heaviest burden a man can bear.

And to those who harm children — your time is coming!

Because no darkness or evil escapes God forever.

When The World Shakes

Lately, it feels like the earth has been shaking more often.

Whether it is earthquakes, disasters, violence, division, or uncertainty, people across the world are searching for meaning and asking questions about where we are headed as a society.

Throughout history, cultures and faith driven traditions viewed earthquakes as moments that reminded humanity how fragile life really is. Moments that called people back to faith, family, and responsibility to one another.

When disaster strikes, one truth always rises to the surface:

Protect the children first!

Children represent innocence, hope, and the future entrusted to us by God.

Maybe that is why so many people today feel an urgency to stand watch over the next generation.

Not through fear or politics, but through love, responsibility, and faith.

When the world shakes, we remember what matters most.

“The Watch Never Ends”

05/10/2026

There is something fundamentally broken about a system that responds AFTER a child has already disappeared.

Children in danger do not have hours to wait.
Parents do not have time for delays.
And every minute matters.

That is what Native Brigade, and the Proud Foot Group have been building, Sentinel Guard and Adams Watch — technology designed around one mission:

Immediate response when a child is in danger!

This is not about replacing law enforcement.
This is about giving law enforcement and families the ability to act faster when seconds count.

For months I have been quiet publicly while continuing this work behind the scenes, and today I wanted to share more about the mission, the technology, and the reason this fight matters so deeply to me.

We’re Not Finished — We’ve Only Just Begun

To all of you that follow me, for the past month, I’ve been quiet on social media.
Not because the mission stopped or because the passion faded, and certainly not because the fight to protect children is over.

The truth is… life shifted quickly for me, and I needed to regroup!

I relocated from Hawaii to California for work, and during that transition I’ve also continued recovering from foot surgery in January that has taken far longer to heal than I expected.

Many of you know I had planned “The Watch Never Ends” trek — a journey that means more to me than words can explain. Postponing it was one of the hardest decisions I’ve had to make and has taken a toll on me!

But hear me clearly:
We are NOT done.
We are NOT walking away.
And we have NOT lost sight of the mission.

If anything, the time away from social media has allowed us to focus on building something even bigger behind the scenes.

Over the last several weeks, we have been working alongside The Proudfoot Group and other incredible supporters on initiatives that have the potential to fundamentally change how children are protected in this country.

Real conversations. Real strategy. Real movement.

What we are building through Sentinel Guard and Adams Watch is not about attention or headlines. It is about creating systems that can save children’s lives, improve response times, and stand in the gap when seconds matter most.

This mission has always been bigger than a trek. The trek will still happen.
The Watch Never Ends will continue. But I refuse to do it until I am fully healed and physically ready to complete it the way it deserves to be completed.

Our new target is April 2027.

Until then, we keep building, keep fighting and keep Standing the Watch.

To everyone who has supported Children Such as These, Native Brigades, Sentinel Guard, Adams Watch, and this movement as a whole — thank you! Your encouragement, prayers, and belief in this mission have carried us farther than you could ever know.

This is not the end of the story. This is the preparation for what amazing things comes next.

Retired Cop Walks Across America to Protect Children

Why?
For the families who are counting on strangers to care and to do something
Because too many children are suffering while the rest of us turn our heads.
Because pretending this problem doesn’t exist has never saved a single child.

Many are more comfortable looking away than confronting the reality of child exploitation, trafficking, and abuse.

Again...Why?
Because people are afraid! They feel helpless. They don’t want to believe it could happen in their neighborhoods. They don’t know what to do and this subject is uncomfortable to talk about.

But this cannot be the reason why our mouths are shut!
It cant believe that only one man cares enough to do something.
It cannot be that only law enforcement carries this burden while we sleep comfortably at night.
It cannot be that children suffer while the rest of us look the other way or act like nothing is happening.

Protecting children is not a job title...It is a God given responsibility!

When a child is taken, every minute matters. Every mile matters.
And every person along those routes can mean the difference between bringing a child home… or losing them forever.

On Day 10, we arrive in Richfield, Utah — Not just as another stop on the map, but a reminder that this mission moves forward because communities choose to Stand up, Speak out, and Protect their children.

Behind every mile are people who refuse to ignore the problem — Our deputies, troopers, dispatchers, first responders, and citizens who understand that readiness and coordination save lives.

We are honored to stand alongside:
Sevier County Sheriff’s Office
Utah Highway Patrol

Their partnership represents what happens when people decide to act instead of looking away.

This trek is about children, our children, your children! Children who deserve safety, protection, and adults willing to step forward — even when the subject is uncomfortable.

If you are afraid…
If you feel helpless…
If you don’t know what to do…
Start here!

Speak up!
Pay attention.
Stand Watch.
Protect the innocent.

"THE WATCH NEVER ENDS"

Tonight, before you go to sleep…you will likely check on your children.

You’ll make sure the doors are locked.
You’ll stand at their door and listen for the quiet sound of them breathing and take comfort knowing they are safe.

But tonight… somewhere in America…
another childʻs room will be empty.

A bed untouched.
A light left on.
A family waiting for a child who never came home.

During my career in law enforcement, I saw things most people will never see —
We hear things most people will never hear, and we experience what most will never experience.

Those moments never leave you!

When I retired, I realized something important:
I cant expect someone else to Keep The Watch…It never ends for us!

Beginning May 1, 2026, I will embark on 1,952-mile trek across America — from Rancho Cucamonga, California to Terre Haute, Indiana — to bring National Awareness to child exploitation, trafficking, and abuse.

I don’t expect it to be easy, but don’t children deserve someone who refuses to stop fighting for them...

If you are a parent… you already understand why this matters!

If you are a cop, you too know why it falls back on you!

If this mission speaks to you, please help carry it forward.

Share it.
Talk about it.
Stand with us.

Because protecting children should never be someone else’s responsibility…It’s OURS!

Retired Law Enforcement Officer Walks Across the Country to Raise Awareness to Child Exploitation, Trafficking and Abuse...

Retired Law Enforcement Officer Walks Across the Country to Raise Awareness to Child Exploitation, Trafficking and Abuse.

📍 St. George, Utah — Major Stop #5

For those visiting my page for the first time, my name is Jeffrey Pimentel. I’m a retired law enforcement officer, and this is my 5th Major Stop — St. George, Utah — On my trek across the country.

Beginning May 1, 2026, I will be embarking on 1,952 miles from Rancho Cucamonga, California to Terre Haute, Indiana as part of a National Awareness Mission called “The Watch Never Ends.”

As I enter this region, it is important to recognize that St. George sits within the traditional homeland of the Southern Paiute people.

Across the United States, Native children face some of the highest risks of exploitation and trafficking. Many tribal communities are in remote areas, where distance, limited resources, and jurisdictional challenges can make it harder to detect and respond to crimes against children.

Today, another growing threat exists — online exploitation.

Through social media, gaming platforms, and messaging apps, predators can reach children anywhere — even in the most remote communities.

Organizations like NOND (Not Our Native Daughters) have helped raise awareness about the disproportionate violence and exploitation affecting Indigenous women and children and the need for stronger protection and vigilance.

As I pass through St. George and Washington County, my message remains simple:
Protect our children.
Pay attention to what they experience online.
Stay vigilant.

Because when communities Stand The Watch together, predators lose the shadows they depend on.
