    I still strongly suspect that if, as a hypothetical, all the authorities were Black people, these sorts of cases would not be seen as being as serious as White people seem to usually view them.
    Call that culture or whatever, but I think those who deny this are ignorant about the actual cultural differences that exist.

    The flip side of that, which is apparently not politically correct to say these days, is that not having that is detrimental to children.


    Also, statistically most children who end up getting abused by strangers did not have a father.

    It's not just abuse. Studies also clearly show teen girls are much more likely to be promiscuous if there is no father around.

    Many times the pimp initially pretends to be her boyfriend to get her pulled into that lifestyle. There have even been cases where pimps actually hire another young man closer to the girl's age to get her pulled in. Before she knows what's happening she's being rented out to various men.

    Don't forget how they view everyone in society like children.

    Seems those who talk the most about praising "cultural differences" are the least likely to know what those actual differences are.

    Wow. It’s no wonder kids have it tough. Adults don’t understand how to parent or what the consequences of their actions entail for their progeny. Some random stats.

    And.

    There is no such GPS tracker implant for cats. It is a concept worth developing.

    I would first experiment on fitting sex offenders with tracking devices.

    I think that we need to return abducted children to their families, how we do that is irrelevant. In many of the instances of kidnapped children they were taken in a single moment of inattention. One girl was simply picked up and taken off in a van That girl wasn't returned for some years

    That might work but they have to be caught first and it seems simpler to just chemically castrate them.

    The idea of implanting someone without their consent is an egregious appeal to authoritarianism.

    Yeah but that has nothing to do with this here. How does the OP know that the two are connected together?

    Because he probably knows the facts and statistics that I did and that I presented. You can’t see the connection between 90% of runaways being fatherless and 20% of runaways ending up trafficked being related to the subject of these studies trafficked girls being found? As I said, it’s no wonder kids get screwed when adults don’t understand the consequences of absent fathers. I’m starting to think there are no real adults anymore. I guess if you weren’t parented by responsible adults you just don’t know any better. Each generation then gets worse. More runaways. More sex trafficking. More people not being able to comprehend the value of a father. Sad.

    Sounds like his family home would be a little microcosm of some totalitarian Communist dystopia out of Nineteen Eighty-Four.

    Frankly, his words don't even really surprise me that much. This is how people like him think.

    I just hope such people are never enabled to set their intentions on society.

    That would make sense if it was taken as part of a series of considerations, or if there were more kids saved. Kinda hard to predict national trends with 5 kids. And likewise it's hard to see how national trends work with... 5 kids. So it begs the question, why should we think the national trend applied in this case?

    Most parents abrogate their responsibilities away to the schools these days. "Let somebody else do it", "Let the government do it." It's not really their job to educate their children.
    Plus, marriage is increasingly being seen as falling into irrelevance these days, by many people.

    I can't recall where I heard it but I vaguely remember that opponents said that a kidnapper can just intimidate their hostage(s) to tell where the chip is and cut them to remove it. I'm sure you can see the danger of a psychopath using a razor on a child and they are also less likely to take a hostage to the hospital for non-stop bleeding or an infection developing in the wound because it wasn't dressed properly.

    You missed the paragraph break where the OP asked a general question about absent fathers leading to poor choices and outcomes like the girls in the story. Here it is again.


    You replied with this.

    The OP and I believe absent fathers contribute to such outcomes because all the empirical evidence, both quantitative and qualitative, points in that direction. Nobody claimed all 5 girls were fatherless. You are presenting a fallacious argument. Statistically it’s very likely some or most of those girls had absent fathers. But that’s not the point. The point is less girls would be enslaved and raped if our society had more present fathers. Preventing girls from being sex slaves by being a present father requires personal responsibility though, so I can see why that approach to reducing trafficking is not popular with the “if it feels good, do it” crowd.

    Also of interest is the absent father angle from the other side of the equation—the abuser side.

    Excellent point. It’s very easy to obtain equipment to scan for the presence of any chip also.
