State pushes for safe houses for child prostitution victims

TALLAHASSEE – Amid growing concern from Florida's capital to the White House over human trafficking, the head of the state's social service agency on Tuesday outlined plans to create a network of "safe houses" and long-term treatment facilities where underage sexual workers and other children held against their will could seek refuge and protection.

"We have to have a different treatment program for these kids," said Department of Children and Families Secretary David Wilkins in an interview Tuesday.

In a speech to a human trafficking summit at Florida State University Monday, Wilkins called for a "whole new process" to treat children who have been trafficked, particularly those who have been forced into prostitution.

Asked Tuesday to elaborate, Wilkins acknowledged that details are still being sketched out. But a recent change in state law means that children who are caught being trafficked would enter child protective services, rather than going into the juvenile justice system as has been the case

1. and public hangings for the monsters who rape them?

Okay. That's over the top.

But honestly, how any man can push his body onto and into a crying, drugged out 13-year-old and actually derive _pleasure_ from it is inconceivable to me, but it's the sociopaths who lead a double life who freak me out more than the pimps, who are overt about their monstrousness.

2. I suspect they are preparing us. This may be part of the investigation that caught Mike Horner?

3. I wonder how many of these kids were raped by Repukes at the convention.

4. I seriously believe that we're about to hear something that will shock many.

The articles regarding child prostitution have been trickling in and building.
