Just have whoever drafts the safety regulations refer to the kids as CEO’s.

Signed. I am not against religion, but I am against abuser's of others hiding behind religious entity masks.

There is no such as a "get out of jail free" card, when it comes to the abuse of children. Abuse is abuse. Period.

Thank you! I am also not against religion. I am a non denominational Christian 👌

The problem: most of the country thinks it doesn't effect them until a confused victim of not having safety regulation drives into a group of innocent people. Medication and Talk Therapy work wonders to guide the victim to accept remember yet forgive so that it does not reoccur; or hurt them. ❤️‍🔥

2/2. between the years 2007 and 2017, more than 8,500 marriage-based visa petitions involving at least one minor were approved by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, the majority of which involved U.S. citizen men seeking to bring minor girls from overseas as brides or fiancées.

Just awful and absolutely ridiculous. There is absolutely no sane argument for a 10 year old getting married. The safety and well being of the minor should always be the priority 💔

rcam.bsky.social•57 days ago

Data shows that between 2000 and 2018, more than 300,000 minors (i.e., under the age of 18) were married in the United States, most of whom were 16 or 17 years of age. Some of these marriages included girls as young as 10 and girls who were married to men that were decades older. In addition, 1/2

Impossible when republicans want to roll back protections for a source of cheap labor

Tax the cult of pedophiles.

There should be federal law that prohibits (or severely restricts) marriage prior to age 18. State level push-back across the country on this topic. Below is from May 2024.

don't get me wrong, i agree with the general message, but can't we let them be kids for a bit? can't we protect them from the horrifying message this film is quite proudly portraying?

blue-fire1.bsky.social•54 days ago

Again it is not a film. It is a book the profits go to an Hawai'i nonprofit that fights the trafficking of indigenous people and yes there are kids who get trafficked. So many that there are 2 homes in the country that shelter trafficked victims and one is in HI. Turning a blind eye is ignorant.

option b is of course castration. the only way to stop a sex offenders urges. not a guarantee to stop reoffending. but a big step in the right direction. which option takes your fancy?

blue-fire1.bsky.social•54 days ago

As a sex offender therapy for decades I never had an offender reoffend. The therapy is intense. I think if all that fails, chemical castration might be feasible if you can get that through the courts.

kancin.bsky.social•54 days ago

but after that, how many of your 'clients' would you trust with a child?

kancin.bsky.social•54 days ago

but if the release got 'accidentally' released to the parents that would cut through the red tape?

kancin.bsky.social•54 days ago

just to be clear that DOES NOT involve any form of gardening tools?

kancin.bsky.social•54 days ago

oh. i certainly agree. that it is. so, (bear with me) it might be a bit radical but how about we set those responsible alight? we would obviously start with a small fire. depending on the time of year it may not even need accelerants. of course it would be inhumane not to offer another option

blue-fire1.bsky.social•54 days ago

If we don't educate our children we are failing them. I was a sex offender therapist for decades and we need to educate our children. Offenders will go to any length to coerce their victims.

kancin.bsky.social•54 days ago

did you convince anyone to get the snip?

kancin.bsky.social•54 days ago

and that is why we must go to any lengths to protect them

brookswilson.bsky.social•54 days ago

well done

kancin.bsky.social•54 days ago

sounds a bit edgy for a disney film.

blue-fire1.bsky.social•54 days ago

It's not a Disney film. It is a book about wrong touching. The proceeds go to a nonprofit in Hawai'i that is fighting trafficking of indigenous people.

kancin.bsky.social•54 days ago

surely as gown up we do the fighting. we protect them. because if we can't do that what the fuck are we actually protecting them from?

blue-fire1.bsky.social•54 days ago

Part of protecting them is educating them.

kancin.bsky.social•54 days ago

it is. but most of it is protecting them

kancin.bsky.social•54 days ago

right. i see. why does it make it ok to expose children to the sprawling horror that we live in again? i forgot.
