“The term ‘child prostitute’ implies the child is a willing and consensual party. Obviously they are not at the age of consenting. Thus referring to them as the victims of kidnap and sexual assault is more accurate.”
it isn’t “either” “or”.
They are victims of kidnap and assuault as well as being treated as human commodities by being offered as sex for sale.
There are many adult women who are not consensual in the agreement - so they are kidnap/assault victims as well as being considered prostitutes for being “for sale.”
” And yes, those are the words of Christ, but if He was really concerned that that His words would be ignored, then would He have not have allowed the stoning to go forward?”
wow....you really live in la-la land.
Maybe he didn’t think an adulteress should be stoned to death because of the cruelty of it.
Maybe he didn’t think an all male mob should carry out the sentence knowing - as He did - of their own sins.
Maybe he didn’t think one person should pay the price when two people participated.
there are all sorts of possibilities, but somehow you continue to think relying on Jesus to justify your position is going to score points? Sorry.
And that’s besides the point this biblical incident has nothing to do with the discussion at hand.
it is a long long stretch to say that when Jesus didn’t want an adulteress to be stoned to death by an all male mob that He was advocating the legalization of prostitution.
“Actually it’s pretty rare. Many folks of marginal legality know they can make beau coup points with the cops by rescuing a child. I saw a guy beat a term in state prison by tipping us off to a dog fighting ring. The scumworld is always looking for a deal. And reality is in the LE biz, ‘deals’ are done all the time. Unpleasant fact injection.”
anectdotal evidence does not negate the fact of the rising rate of demand for child prostitutes.
When prostitution is legitimized the demand increases -for the illegal along with the legal.
The government has studied the problem and has found a link between legalized prostitution and increase in human trafficking.
Just enter, 'craigslist - erotic services' into any search engine.
Oh my!
Jails in metro areas are full and often have to release inmates to comply with the various court rulings.
So if the jails are full, and it appears that prostitutes are operating, even advertising on the Internet, then what class of criminal has be be released to make room for the working girls?
And if anyone really cared about these under aged victims of kidnap and sexual assault they would examine just who are the purveyors and customers.
But then they would find a strong Latin American and Asia connection. Nobody is going there, ma'am, it's politically incorrect
