Thread: California Democrats legalize child prostitution

    California Democrats legalize child prostitution

    -Beginning on Jan. 1, prostitution by minors will be legal in California. Yes, you read that right.

    SB 1322 bars law enforcement from arresting sex workers who are under the age of 18 for soliciting or engaging in prostitution, or loitering with the intent to do so. So teenage girls (and boys) in California will soon be free to have sex in exchange for money without fear of arrest or prosecution.

    This terribly destructive legislation was written and passed by the progressive Democrats who control California's state government with a two-thirds "supermajority." To their credit, they are sincere in their belief that decriminalizing underage prostitution is good public policy that will help victims of sex trafficking. Unfortunately, the reality is that the legalization of underage prostitution suffers from the fatal defect endemic to progressive-left policymaking: it ignores experience, common sense and most of all human nature — especially its darker side.

    The unintended but predictable consequence of how the real villains — pimps and other traffickers in human misery — will respond to this new law isn't difficult to foresee. Pimping and pandering will still be against the law whether it involves running adult women or young girls. But legalizing child prostitution will only incentivize the increased exploitation of underage girls. Immunity from arrest means law enforcement can't interfere with minors engaging in prostitution — which translates into bigger and better cash flow for the pimps. Simply put, more time on the street and less time in jail means more money for pimps, and more victims for them to exploit...

    *sigh..

    this is really beginning to frost me big time.

    Every "news" agency in the universe has taken something that actually is a good thing and managed to mangle it to pieces.

    No, CA is not legalizing child prostution.

    It changes how the kids are dealt with in the system. They are still taken into custody, but then treated as victims instead of criminals.

    What did you think about the quotes in the article from the DA, the law enforcement, and the woman who is a nationally leader on the human trafficking issue? I tend to trust the folks on the front lines of issues like this as opposed to legislators who often prefer advice from academics than frontliners.

    I quit reading all the hype after the first 2 articles.

    I'm sure there will be unintended consequences, but the way some of the news is spinning it makes me sick.

    We have a super majority with the dems right now.. so there will be crazy stuff going on. We were in this situation before.

    But, I've heard quite a bit of discussion on this. All it's intended to do is change the way KIDS are treated. They will no longer be prosecuted, but instead, treated as a victim.

    Now, yes, some KIDS are on the street by their choice.. or they've been seduced and don't think they can get out.. this is meant to help them.. and to, maybe, help lessen the stigma.

    I'm willing to give it a chance.

    Let them go after the pimps and kidnappers who are in trafficking.

    They also need to go after those who engage in this. There needs to be harsh punishment for adults who use these children. They are as guilty as the pimps and kidnappers. Even more guilty, if it wasn't for their perverse lust and desires, then pimps and kidnappers would not be doing this with no money to be made.
