Ashton Kutcher — most people know him as the "boy toy" from the popular TV show "That '70s Show" or in "Two and a Half Men." He's also well known for marrying his childhood sweetheart, Mila Kunis in 2015 after knowing one another for 16 years and being together for three.

You may be wondering, where's Ashton now?

Well, he's nearly given up his acting career to fight for those without a voice to help themselves. Thorn, which has developed software used by law enforcement to identify potential sex trafficking victims and abusers, was founded by Kutcher and his ex-wife, Demi Moore, in 2009.

In a CBS article from 2017, Kutcher explains his reasoning behind being so passionate about helping children involved in such horrible and abusive situations: his two children who are 2-years-old and 2-months-old.

Thorn uses multiple softwares such as Spotlight and Solis to scan the internet and dark web for explicit content and tracks the abusers and victims. Thorn's technology has cut the rescue time of those involved in abusive situations from months and years to days and weeks.

According to the Thorn website, over 63% of victimized kids that Thorn has encountered has been advertised online.

The reason this topic is of importance today is that as technology advances and benefits society, it also poses more threats, such as human trafficking and child pornography. Kutcher is a prime example of how celebrities are not all corrupt and focused on just making money. Kutcher, along with his current wife, use their voices and public image to bring awareness to a rising issue in America.In 2004, the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children reviewed 450,000 file, whereas in 2015, 25 million files were reviewed.

In today's society, it's often overlooked when someone in the public eye does something beneficial. Don't overlook this. Millions of children are being taken from their families and put into atrocious situations that we can't even fathom. Open your ears and eyes.
