make laws
WE'VE got to make this plan into law:
The WE'VE GOTCHA Law!
STOP SEX SLAVERY WITH REWARD$
How much does it pay for sex traffickers to stay in business?
If a reward could put a stop to it - how much $ would it take?
Even saving one young girl from such a life would be priceless
Consider the reality:
> Strong laws are often undermined by weak judicial systems
Many prisons are already overcrowded
Most prisons don't rehabilitate sex offenders
Most sex offenders repeat their crimes when they get out of prison
Consider the options:
> The best deterrents are fines, property confiscation and license revocation
They can't buy sex if they don't have any money
Confiscate bank accounts, property, businesses and licenses
> The best rehabilitation programs include behavioral modification therapy
Teach them how to overcome their habits and addictions
Use electronic tagging, video monitoring and behavioral feedback
They can't change their behavior if they're surrounded by criminals
Surround them with surveillance equipment instead
Decide to make new laws:
> Put sex sellers and traffickers out of business!
Stop letting them grab our sisters and daughters!
Grab the sex buyers and sellers by their pockets!
Make them pay for the lives they've destroyed!
