The law applies to ALL minors, not just those caught up in prostitution/sex slave rings. ALL minors!!! How on earth do you not see incentives created for those who are not being trafficked? As it is, kids forced into prostitution rings are already treated as victims which everyone agrees they are.. Now you peeps have created all sorts of possibilities where minors can advertise on say craigslist without fear of the law, or hit the streets where God knows what happens to them. You and Cems52 are fine with this?
Let me give you a scenario and please chime in.
Let’s say there is this little 14-year-old girl who we will call canesrule21'ships. One day, canesrule21'ships is watching the Kardashians where she sees this neato shirt that Kim Kardashian is wearing. Canesrule21'ships goes to daddy and says: “daddy, daddy, daddy, I want to buy the same shirt Kim is wearing but it costs 100 bucks.” Daddy says: “honey, money doesn’t grow on trees and that’s expensive for a t-shirt. You need to work for a living.”
Now, canesrule21'ships is in quite a conundrum. How does she get the money to buy the t-shirt. She first thinks: “well, I can shop lift and sell everything I steal to get me closer to my goal……but nah, its not worth it because I can be arrested.” Then she has a second thought: ”maybe I can get some of my friends, especially the male ones, to help me rob some people…….but nah, I can get arrested for that also.” “How about selling drugs….nah, once again it would be slammer time.” Then she thinks: “If only I knew how to steal a car…..but nah, that wouldn’t work anyways because again I can be arrested.”
Suddenly, a light bulb goes off in canesrule21'ships’s head where she says to herself: “hey, I can sell my goodies with no repercussions whatsoever.” So, she picks up the phone and calls Daddy’s friend: “hello, Cems52, this is canesrule21’ships, I really want that Kardashian shirt so I will meet you at your place at 4pm. Oh by the way, I am wearing that pink dress you love so much.”
Voila, two days later canesrule’21ships has the shirt she desires. After all, under California law, in this scenario canesrule21'ships is the victim because all she did was watch Kim Kardashian wear this neato t-shirt on tv. Thank God the liberals are protecting our victims.
