Using exaggerations to scare parents
dimanche 29 mai 2016 à 02:00A report on the prevalence of sex trafficking of minors in Ohio is not only a series of exaggerations and worst-case assumptions, it is also based on false concepts: equating "engaging in prostitution" with "being a victim of trafficking".
The result is to scare parents in a way that encourages unjust laws.
Here's another example: Canadian parents are supposed to be terrified because three girls per year are kidnaped and killed.
Those murders are grave crimes, like any murder, but the danger they amount to is insignificant compared to life's other dangers.
