gaslighting to the extreme
What is gaslighting. It's people telling you reality that you must believe or else those who own the fair tales will claim there's something wrong with you if you don't, and that's exactly this story. I sympathize with her family but this show is just one long cliche explosion that stinks of nonsense. I don't know this young woman but as I type this, I'm just blocks from an area that is a favorite for prostitutes in my area and has been for more than 30 years. And one reason it never gets cleaned up is because the city, county and the police refuse to do anything about it. They've made these women out to be victims like they were coerced into doing something and didn't know it was wrong. Or they did know it was wrong and didn't care because people like the producers of the show have made them out to be victims. It's the 'pretty girl' syndrome where people want to believe that there's this julia roberts girl looking to be rescued when in fact, there's no such actual creature. These women on my streets are no julia roberts.
There's a well known chain hardware store nearby and sometimes I'll walk there because this is still a semi free country. So the other day I walk to this place and as I'm crossing the street, I'm joined by 3 ladies and one is bragging about her john giving her $500. Believeable yeah, but the idea that this woman who is probably carrying a knife and wouldn't hesitate to use it, I'm supposed to believe that she's got some pimp behind her making her be out there. Seriously? And this is why the police won't clean up the area because they view prostitution as victims and part of a chain of production that is run by bad men. Well, I've been around a bit and I've personally never seen children on the street or harmless prostitutes and most of the people interviewed in this program aren't from the streets. They've been watching participants who only think they know the streets, and everything they say is just made up nonsense and that includes the badge wearing police officer. I'd really like to meet this guy and take him to my town. Thirty years ago, prostitution was a crime and it's still a crime but now it's also a political football because the police don't want to spend the resources. If there were women walking the streets though 10 miles to the left, then they would give it their attention but so long as it's in my backyard, it's ignored. Rather, they put up billboards and signs about human trafficking and they make tv shows like this one saying it's just poor kids.
But, it's all fairy tales because these ladies in my area are not victims, even the young ones which are schooled not by pimps but other ladies walking the street. I mean the reality is that if you go to a hotel with one of these ladies, you're more likely to get a knife than what you want. What's holding them back is attention. They'll do whatever to take your money but without attracting attention and the reason is because they can, and 99% of them lack the job skills or education to keep the lifestyle they have.
I sympathize with the family but the idea that this girl just got caught up with the wrong crowd and then she was forced into prostitution, and then forced into sex slavery just defys common sense and insulting to the kid too. Children are exposed to adult situations and themes and decisions at an earlier age. This isn't the 1950s anymore.
When they got to the part of moving girls around to avoid the police, I had to stop watching. Are there pimps, sure. And are women held captive to the sex trade, sure. I don't frequent the streets for prostitutes but I can guarantee that woman plying the trade in my area are not coerced by men. Most are out there because they have no jobs skills or education and can't make enough money working at mcds to support their lifestyle which is mostly living in hotels, and drinking or doing drugs. It's no coincidence that where you find prostitution you find other types of crime, like theft, larceny, drug dealing, personal assaults and so on. You don't find street prostitution in the better parts of town because it's not tolerated and besides, the women working the streets won't be close to the infrastructure and other crimes they depend on like buying drugs or other crimes for money. The woman on the corner bragging about getting $500 out of her john is proud of that no thanks to the pimp, if she has one. She's no victim and most likely she's the one who is scary and the one you should avoid.
Don't believe me well watch again and remember the part where this expert on human trafficking says that when she gets a new victim she says "I pull her records from the court". Afaik, it is illegal in any state for the police or the court to share records with anyone. That's a felony. Sounds cool, right, but the woman says on camera that she committed a felony because she has no official capacity and especially to get records on a minor. I hear interviews like this all the time on these fake cop shows and that's what it is, fake. It's all nonsense. Don't believe me, try and get someone's criminal record and prove me wrong.
