What is going on on Backpage?

Today there are multiple ads offering children, with pictures, and suggesting that they are offering children (mention "wee ones" and "lil ones"). WTF is going on. This is some sick stuff or it is a troll or bait by LE. I can't fathom LE pulling such an obvious stunt.

Anyone got any idea? And, why hasn't BP taken these ads down?

I agree, now they have an ad with 2 obvious pre teen girls. WTF. If it is LE, then they sure have pushed the envelope far on this one.

I'm guessing it's just scammers/spammers out trolling. Notice that there isn't a phone number on any of the ads. Just say to click "reply" for rates. Either way, I can't imagine anyone responding to these lame ass ads.
Feds have been conducting a HUGE nationwide sting lately for child prostitution. Im sure KC is the latest arena for that.
I was just on backpage and didn't see any ad like that. Did anyone have the balls to reply to the ad ?
I wouldnt be surprised if it is LE. The type of people who would go for that type of thing are not smart anyways and would most likely fall into that very obvious trap...probably thinking LE would never be that obvious...

I seem to remember this same thing happening last year. Obviously underage girls (photo) suggesting that they were underage and it worked. They picked up some sick creeps.

"Keep it in the sandbox"

That's a quote from DD...and its appropriate here. Please don't let personal differences from the Sandbox spill out into the other forums.

Crew, all I did was ask him how he got out of it, if he did not want someone to ask then why tell anyone he got caught.
