ABUSE VERSUS TRAFFICKING
Having just watched an HBO documentary about child abuse and its coverup in the Catholic Church, I have to comment on the current state of affairs concerning the prosecution of child molesters versus that of human traffickers.
In the past decade and a half, I've certainly dealt with my share of escorts and I've had candid conversations broaching all sorts of subjects. The truth is that while I've listened to numerous stories about current escorts being sexually abused when they were children...I've heard nothing about girls getting conscripted into "the life" without them understanding exactly what they were getting involved in.
And that leads me to wonder...if I've heard so many confessions about Uncle Jose making his niece blow him...and so few about girls thinking they were going to be waitresses when in fact they were being imported to become massage girls...exactly why are there so many law enforcement man-hours being assigned to the trafficking issue when in fact, childhood sexual abuse is so much more prevalent in the escort community? Because let me tell you...if I had a dollar for every escort I've ever known who admitted to early sexual abuse, I'd have a lot of dollars. And conversely, if I had a buck for every girl who told me she was seduced into the business thinking that she'd be doing something other than escorting...I'd be eating out of a garbage can.
I think my point is this: Human trafficking is much less prevalent than law enforcement thinks...at least from what I know. But sex abuse among the escort rank and file? Waaay more prevalent...which leaves me thinking...why wouldn't the authorities concentrate on that aspect? If they could quell the proliferation of child abuse...they just might curb the flow of willing applicants for escort service employment.
Anyway...if you subscribe to HBO, go into the documentary section and check out what I just watched...because it's really disturbing! I know the Catholic Church does a lot of good work...but the coverup on the subject of the multitude of priests who molested little boys is truly horrifying! Thank goodness I'm not Catholic and was never in the Boy Scouts...and that my would-be molesters came when I was in my late teens. That's why I'm normal sexually. I had no early creeps to warp my mind.

The feminests lost the ideological battle on right to work, even sex work, and that meant they were losing their global crusade. so they have rebranded all sex work as trafficking, and they have sought to have this terminology change set legally globally so they can end all sex work. its not trafficking how you think about it.
ReplyDeleteSeriously, how do you stop child sexual abuse? Arrest the uncle because he was looking at his niece funny? Invent the Minority Report machine and arrest abusers before the abuse take place? When you arrest a child abuser, it means the crime has already taken place, the kid is already damaged like you said. The only thing left to do is make sure this kid doesn't grow up to be some kind of Jeffry Dahmer. When you go after triads and cartels involved in human trafficking, one bust would save hundreds of women. It's like instead of arresting each cocaine user and sending them to rehab, I'd rather the govt spend the money on drones and fire at all the cocaine factories in Colombia and Mexico.
ReplyDeleteI see your point. Maybe some PR along the lines of all the no smoking commercials we see on TV nowadays warning would-be abusers of the punitive measures the gov will take if you're convicted. Of course, we know that pedophiles are possessed and do what they do regardless. It's almost like telling somebody to stop breathing. Anyway...thanks for your intelligent input.
DeleteI was at a dinner party recently and this topic came up. Everybody, in the room admitted to having been abused or raped during childhood or late teens (college too). I asked the question, "did everybody really get molested?" and one lady stared me down and said "everyone is molested"!
ReplyDeleteI don't recall ever being molested, bullied maybe, dissed and blown off maybe but not that.
If sexual molestion of kids is that widespread that it's the subtext in our culture or human nature or when is someone going to speak up for some the least amount of decency in our behavior?
I agree with Bill at least some PR or awareness campaigns like "just because you think about something doesn't mean you have to do it" or "let kids be kids and adults act like adults" kind of thing. You can't police what is done. You can re-institute ethics into our educational systems from K-School on up. Ethics are sorely lacking.
On an up note, I think Human Trafficking is alive and well but we are lucky enough to not cross paths with it.
i just watched that same documentury it makes me sad to be a catholic......this is the fukkin reason we grow up catholic and abandon the church as soon as our parents stop forcing us to go........the catholic church should be fukkin ashamed of the bullshit they let go on
ReplyDeletecheck out the video at the bottom of this article. The lady (former slave) says 1 person is sold every 15 minutes. It's a crazy world with a lot of bad people. Oh yeah and it looks like they want to go after model mayhem like backpage and craiglist, oh brother
