FL:What’s behind the recent uptick in local child predator arrests?

webmaster

PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. (CBS12) — This week, we have seen an alarming number of child predators arrested. Is that because there are more cases out there, or is law enforcement getting better at catching these criminals? Indian River County Sheriff Eric Flowers credits that success largely to social media sites and app developers, that are helping to weed out bad actors.   “A lot of these platforms have really complied, not just with our requests for subpoenas, but really been somewhat voluntary with us,” he told CBS12 News. “These companies have…

CA Democrats ‘Water Down’ Sex Trafficking Bill. Good. The original version was overly punitive.

webmaster

By: ELIZABETH NOLAN BROWN California Democrats are taking heat for “water[ing] down” a “child sex trafficking bill.” But—as anyone whose brain isn’t completely broken by politics might imagine—this isn’t a case of lawmakers trying to make life easy for people who abuse and exploit children. They’re just trying to insert a smidge of sanity into the bill’s punishment schemes. The scorn with which this has been met underscores how hard it is for legislators to push back against policies that are purportedly about protecting children.
