California makes it legal for children to be prostitutes

You have got to be a special kind of stupid to believe this. I get that Musterion and OK Dozer buys this but the rest of you? Try using the brain God gave you for something other keeping your ears apart.
The article in the Washington examiner was written to grab the attention of the uneducated, the stupid, the lazy and the very gullible. These guys know their audience won't actually fact check their claims because their audience is made up of people who are uneducated, the stupid, the lazy and the very gullible - also known as conservatives.
I would ask if you actually read the California law but it's obvious you didn't.
Soliciting for sex is a crime no matter what age the victim is.
Statutory rape is still a crime.
Exploitation of a minor is still a crime.
Child sexual abuse is still a crime.
Pimping is still a crime.
The only thing changes is that the child forced into prostitution is treated like a victim not a criminal.
The police in California can take children involved in prostitution into protective custody and get them away form the people exploiting them.
A child forced into prostitution can now go to the police and get their protection rather than be arrested and imprisoned.

oh, so this only applies to those underage prostitutes who are forced into prostitution?
cite?
Yeah because what 12 year old doesn't want to become a prostitute?

you should see what the kids are doing with social media these days
all on their own, no pimps involved
it was a topic of discussion and concern in my MSEd program eight years ago - i can only imagine it's gotten worse

Which means they can immediately return to the streets, and continue prostituting.
What other crimes should we legalize for children?

nonononono gj - social workers will cure all their ills and they won't have any reasons or desires to engage in prostitution any more
because we all know how successful those social workers are are curing all our social ills :darwinsm:

With this law in place, what's to stop a depraved (but enterprising) teenager from purposely making money this way?
And as for the children that are forced into prostitution, what's stopping them from being immediately forced back onto the street?

first thing I thought of when this thread started was this story:
| A Canadian teenager who was arrested at 15 for running a prostitution ring that used Facebook and Twitter to traffic other teen girls has been served a six-and-a-half-year sentence. An Ottawa judge ruled Tuesday that Kailey Oliver-Machado, now 18, should be charged as an adult for the “despicable” crimes, CTV News reported. Oliver-Machado was accused of “luring” the other girls in through social media under the guise of a sleepover, according to the network. The seven victims, who were between the ages of 13 and 17, were reportedly drugged, photographed naked, beaten and forced into prostitution, CTV News reported. This allegedly took place over a few months. Oliver-Machado and two others were arrested in 2012 on charges that include child pornography, human trafficking, assault and robbery. http://www.nydailynews.com/news/cri...tution-ring-sentenced-adult-article-1.2004520 |
this is an older report - later investigations revealed that some of the participants were willing - in fact Machado prostituted herself at the time
very unusual for the canadians to sentence someone as an adult for actions committed when they were 15 - they're generally more liberal - but this was back when stephen harper was the pm and the conservatives were inpower, so they may have exerted some pressure - not sure how justin trudeau would react to it
so how would California law apply to a situation like this?

yeah - i was wondering how they expect to get them into counseling without some form of coercion
That is what people said against decriminalizing sodomy some years back. They have thought it through very carefully.
Saw an episode of one of those law TV shows (might have been Law & Order).
Anyway, they had caught a pervert involved with children as sex slaves, either through adoption or just plain kidnapping.
He cave a chilling speech basically saying that due to the internet, their kind was growing more structured and orderly.
May have felt alone and isolated at one time, but now due to the internet, they could all come together to help each other hone their skills better like one big happy family.
He just smirked as they closed his cell door, and kept yelling out, "I'm not alone, we're everywhere, we're family now. And it's a BIG family!"
Made chills run up my spine.

scary, ain't it?
of course, the APA was saying the homo population was 10% back in the day, too
now, i believe the accepted figure for homos is more like 3 or 4 %

It's too bad how rare both of those are becoming.
Forced by pimps, let go by the authorities.

Still disturbing. If I had guessed, I would have said it's got to be under 1%.
I guess my faith in humanity is too high.
