        Now we will not be able to find them. We just saved the pimps and the black market and signed death warrants for these kids. But you won’t see it so you will feel better. Unintended consequences I know they mean well.

        Here’s the thing, they aren’t safer with him and part of the problem is pimps are rarely prosecuted for their crimes. So if you can profit through exploitation without consequences why wouldn’t you continue to proceed?

        Here is the think, the more underground black markets are the more dangerous they are for the people caught up in it.

        Trafficking is already underground & dangerous. Propoer consequences need as there are consequences for every other crime. Hoping that no mater how you feel you find your way of supporting an end to trafficking over and out ✌🏼

        They should just legalize prostitution. It's a business transaction between two consenting adults. Regulating it would help end trafficking, along w/ helping rape & assault victims go to the police, since they wouldn't get arrested. AND regular STD testing to prevent spreading.

        Interesting question. The whole website was shut down which includes all ads (more than adult ads) because of prostitution ads. Well then, can I have Fox News shutdown for false and misleading news? 1st amendment issues? Many questions.

        But I thought Dt was doing nothing about human traffickers and sex workers? Dt has done more to combat this enormous problem of exploiting children and robbing them from their families in 1 year than Bo did in 8 years. Conspiracy theory huh? Lol. Just admit Dt is doing good

        So prostitution’s only ok if a NDA is involved?
