How the law can add to child sex trafficking victims’ existing trauma (The Conversation)
As of 2025, 15 states do not arrest and prosecute children for prostitution, while seven states allow a minor to be arrested but not prosecuted for this charge, according to my unpublished research. As a result, sexually exploited minors can be criminalized in 35 states for their maltreatment because they can be charged or prosecuted for prostitution.
These laws determine how courts identify commercially sexually exploited minors, as victims or criminals.
And you people think I am the monster.
What did you people vote for when you voted for Trump? Two answers from today: Why Is Everyone So Angry? This Is What We Voted for, Right? (McSweeney's) and It Isn’t Just Trump… (Sheila Kennedy).
In a very real way, the three shifts identified in the essay are really just different aspects of a single, enormously consequential change in human society: the ability to curate our preferred realities. Americans no longer have a common understanding of our physical or social environment. The ability to choose our “news”–to seek out “authorities” who will confirm our biases, to “cherry pick” from an infinite supply of facts, half-facts and outright propaganda–enable Trump and his administration to lie repeatedly, knowing that a substantial portion of the population will willingly accept and parrot the disinformation.
So, you people are as nuts as I was when I was in the deepest throes of despondency? But, at least, I only meant to harm myself.
