“My name is Chanel Banks I’m a 36 year old American nobody, and for my entire life I have been silently carrying the pain of the ritual sexual abuse, manipulation, and outright endless torment I’ve endured continuously since I was a defenseless baby, at the hands of my own so called family, whom are all so very ‘concerned’ about my current whereabouts,” she said in a notes app screenshot.

“I have met with the Police and verified that not only am I okay, but I’m finally free from my mother and her family. They say, once you’re free in Christ Jesus, you’re free indeed, so I told my husband six days ago I was going to get baptized by one of my favorite pastors Pastor Robert Clancy. He drove me to the airport and then I was off for a week…but I also saw it as an opportunity to escape my cage,” Chanel continued.

“Now I want not just freedom for me, but freedom for everyone suffering in silence. I want to come out so that people like me won’t be ashamed anymore. I want Justice. I’m asking God to help me get justice. I’m releasing a clarion call to those in high places who still have a soul and want to keep it in such a time as this. Reach out. Help me. I will never allow myself to be silenced ever again- least of all by my abusers.”

She also added, “Despite [my cousin] and my mother’s lies in the press, I have not spoken to Danielle in over 15 years much less every day or 48hrs as they’ve perjured.
For decades my family has been my spiritual, physical, and emotional warden- giving me zero authority of my personage. I was not allowed to make any decisions in life in anyway without their approval.”

“Every instance I’d get close to leaving they’d falsefy official government documents relaying lies concerning my mental health- for the record-1 have no mental health or any other record aside from a parking ticket here and there-So that law enforcement would unquestionably and mercilessly pursue me.

“When I spoke up, they called me mad, mercilessly gang stalked me- and obliterated any semblance of peace, a career or connections I ever had,” Chanel continued. “It’s like they took shifts to isolate me by gaslighting me, lying to those who could help concerning my sanity, it was their life’s goal to destabilize and break me. Why? To silence me. I found out hours before leaving that not only my mothers family, but also my dear husbands were vehemently pursuing a CONSERVATORSHIP ie complete legal control. There will be no more lies. Everything in the darkness must come to light. Thus says the Lord. PLEASE DO NOT DONATE TO ANY GO FUND IIIE THAT SAYS DI MISSING I AM NOT MISSING.”
