The truth is the singular author of this question and answer has not provided any proof as to the number of child sex slaves in the USA. All they have done is provide a singular quote of incredibly bad journalism indicating that 1 professor at a university allegedly disagreed with 2 professors at another university. We don't even know if there are any conflicts of interest involved or malice between the professors. | |
| Jan 17, 2022 at 3:23 | comment | added | H Huang | @RockPaperLz-MaskitorCasket All the same, the main thrust of the argument, that at-risk does not equal child prostitute, is enough to invalidate the claim. | |
| Jan 17, 2022 at 3:14 | comment | added | Amazon Dies In Darkness | Confounding the number of arrests with the size of a problem is bad journalism. How many people were arrested during the same period for smoking marijuana or driving over the speed limit? Do they believe those numbers reflect the number of violations? And keep in mind, speed limit violations happen in public spaces, whereas child prostitution probably does not. | |
| Jan 17, 2022 at 3:10 | comment | added | Amazon Dies In Darkness | That Village Voice quote has a big problem: they claim that less than 1 week is "hardly enough time to take up prostitution". Despite being objectively false, they provide absolutely no evidence to support their claim. A friend of mine works in the field, and some of these girls are forced into prostitution within hours of being abducted or found by a sexual predator. | |
