The human brain does not fully develop until the mid 20's.
The term "underage" used in the context of this atrocious activity of adults manipulating young girls
and boys who have not yet gained the experience/ wisdom to "know better" is beyond despicable.
ANY person who puts their hands on and/ or coerces in ANY manner, forcing upon other persons who
do not fully understand their situation, those who are unable to give knowledgeable "consent";
should IMO, burn alive.
Victim shaming young women who became vulnerable to the promises of these monsters is unforgivably disgusting.
The "law" gives these young inexperienced and easily malleable children a "legal age" status prior to their developing
the ability to fully discern 'right from wrong'. sigh.
I really wish I'd not ventured into this area of the site. I discovered here that there are very few who grasp what is
truly happening with human trafficking and just how these CHILDREN are coerced into activities as the 'adults' will
dangle that proverbial "carrot" of being 'loved' (creating confusion between sex/ love), $, fame, fortune etc.,
manipulating these CHILDREN into doing things that are simply inexcusable.
Stating the victims could not really have been victimized because they were 'smiling' in pix??? smh.
It became apparent to me from reading this and the other thread about this trial that there are far too many
here that are so out of touch with reality on the issue of child abuse, child trafficking, cyclic narcissistic abuse
and all the numerous remaining aspects thereof. I find this thought process/ behavior, inexcusable.
Put down the news and volunteer at a local non profit for child trafficking... that'll maybe open your minds?
Stop for just a moment and consider: If these were your children at this age... how would you then 'think'
about child trafficking and victim shaming/ blaming?
Thank you folks for the enlightenment I've just gained here.
I am not willing to hang about with folks so far out of touch and exceedingly closed minded.
I will now, kindly show myself the door.
