Silence, from the supporters of this ridiculous bill.

False equivalence. Very bad logic. Don't argue just to be arguing.

You've implied you have read the law. Okay, cite from the law that refutes this...
...and I'll close the thread as in error.
Irrelevant to the point of this thread.
This thread isn't about children who are FORCED, idiot.
Cite where the law does not exempt free agent whores -- those not the victims of pimps, those who nobody forced into prostitution -- from arrest and prosecution. That would prove the article wrong and I'll close the thread.
Again...those aren't who the article focused on.
So sad that you are a petty knee jerk reactionary with below average reading skills. But you're choosing to be an idiot, you pansy.

this bill empowers manipulative adults, pimps can now manipulate desperate teens that their actions will never get them in trouble.

No you won't, you aren't that honest.
Cite in your OP where you stated this.
of course you won't
Really? Because that is all your linked article talked about:
"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."
"only incentivize the increased exploitation of underage girls."
"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."

I am stupid? How so?
What did I say that was so "stupid," according to the all-knowing Mr. Dante?
Children taken into protective custody cannot by law just be turned back out onto the streets
that is just false. Not being arrested doesn't excuse them from their civic duty. The law does provide minors involved in prostitution to give testimony through affidavit and not in the presence of their former pimp
You never read the law itself. Or bothered to read up on just what happens when a minor is taken into police custody by the plice
Not if it's declared legal.
An aborted baby should be a victim, but since it's legal to do so, the child cannot legally be considered a victim because no legal crime occurred.
Right?
The juvenile standard is generally more severe for small crimes, and less severe for major crimes. An adolescent could get several months locked up for a misdemeanor where an adult could get no time at all, and yet an adolescent could do six months for a felony that an adult could do several years for.
It makes less and less sense that they would pass a bill which doesn't arrest minors for a degree of crime judges usually smack them with.

This is from the text of the bill.
So how about addressing this:

Right, but I don't see how that parallels the bill in question.
In the case of abortion, the killing itself was decriminalized.
In this situation, the selling of sex by a minor is legal, but the buying of sex from a minor is still illegal.
Don't get me wrong, I think this law is insane. But I don't see it as a road to legal buying of sex from minors.
And I think that is exactly what others here have said will be the loophole they present to counter.
If the law says it's LEGAL for a minor to sell their sexual favors to adults, then the law has eliminated sexual favors of minors to adults as criminal.
It order for it to be legal to sell something, there has to be by necessity a buyer involved.
In this law a minor can legally sell her sexual favors to any adult. Both minor & adult are included in this law.
Can of worms.

Yeah, that's for sure.
But I'm still not sold on this slippery slope idea.
Under this law, an under-age prostitute is basically offering himself/herself as a victim of a crime. A willing victim, however, doesn't necessarily rid the perpetrator of guilt.
If a child allows a grown man to beat the living crap out of him, the adult can still be charged with child abuse and assault, right?
The idea being that the child cannot legally consent, in the first place, and the adult is supposed to know enough to say no to committing the crime.
I have only two problems with this bill. In the case of children forced into prostitution - pimps will want to use prostitutes who can't be arrested (now, children).
And it allows for no real way to stop children who willingly engage in prostitution.

Ask Ms. Dainty because that's exactly the point. He's lazily arguing that the very premise of the article, and this thread, are based on misreadings or non-readings of that law. I asked him to prove it from the law that he's implied he's read.
