"decriminalized" is more accurate. they will still prosecute pimps and traffickers.

You need to read the article and understand it. The legislation changes nothing in punishment to those who pay for child prostitution. The legislation changes nothing in punishment to pimps of child prostitution. What this legislation DOES do is prevent police from pulling child prostitutes off the streets and into social services where rehabilitation can begin. They claim that social services perpetuate the problems for children. So, they passed this legislation to prevent any consequences to children instead of fixing the system that is already in place and should be working, but like all government institution are a complete joke. This incentivizes pimps to use child prostitutes because police are unable to take them off the streets and thus pimps get more time on the streets and less time in a prison cell from their prostitutes. Children tend to be easily influenced and threatened by their abusers so if they are caught in the act and taken into custody and refuse to give up the pimp abusers then they need to be released in which case they return to their pimps and the cycle continues. This bill is completely backwards and I suspect they know damn well the consequences of the bill and passed it with ulterior motives.

You may have accidentally typed that wrong... The bill is supposed to take the children OFF of the street and place them into Social Services as opposed to the juvenile justice system. Their claim is that if they place them into Social Services instead of the Juvenile Justice system then they would begin rehabilitation. The problem is, the social services are a hotbed of abuse of pedophilia. Not all workers are involved of course, many people go into social services bc they have big hearts, but their are black hats within all of those networks who work on the inside to funnel children into "foster" homes of people who are involved in the network of child trafficking, bc who would miss them?? We create a system that is overrun with cases and kids literally do fall through the cracks. Easy prey.
