A number of years ago my hometown (western Iowa) had a couple 15-year-olds dancing at the local titty bar and being pimped out a the hotel after hours. Apparently the police threw some serious shade at the club because despite having "ID's" they were in NO WAY credibly 18, nor were the ID's very passible.
If only the government actually gave a shit about real forced work and abuse of minors. They could legalize it for consenting adults, then they would actually get more help from the rest of us to sort out the abusers out there. Here’s to hoping….. Rant over.
