I'd say it's happening in Ottawa too.

[Guest gagagaga]

this disgusts me. I would love to have the power to individually deal with each of these scumbags personally.

This is a very disturbing article indeed. You wonder what would posess people to act this way. Bunch of bloody sickos!

Anita, first off --> I agree whole heartedly with you ! <-- however, I think it's much more complicated then that in our fabled legal system (in fact many individuals are pointing out the facts below to JUSTIFY a gradul age system to allow our children to gain some perspective and judgement, what a concept !), you see, in some provinces a 14 year old girl can FORBID her doctor from discussing her medical history with her parents (except in dire circumstances), so for example, she could get pregnant and keep the child, or get an abortion all without neccecairaly having her folks being aware (but just watch who will have the burden to support the child having a child !!). A 16 year old (I think, might be 14 now for all I know, but it was 16 at some point) can have concentual sex (there might be limits, but we can't really tell the child if an 18 year old is too old or a 25 year too young it's their choice, right ? (!)). in some provinces, you need to be 19 to buy a lottery ticket, tabbaco or alcohol BUT you can get a Much Music prepaid MasterCard at 16 go start building up your credit card debt early (14 with "perental" consent) !!.

 

BUT at 18, you may choose to get killed (enlist in the army), pay taxes, and have all the "liberties" of an adult (except of course, buying cigarets, booze or lottery ticket, and in fact in some places going into a bar (21) or renting a car (25))

 

So to fix the 18 year old thing requires that we actually consider all of these AND the actual persons "mental age and maturity level" as I am sure you understand, not an easy feat !! Insurance companies don't trust 18 year olds with a car, but the governement trusts them with a GUN !

 

So, while some 18 year olds are VERY naive, some still suffer from the "I'm invinsible" syndrom, and often do not understand the long term implications of a given choice (hell some 40 year olds have problems with that one !) someone figured that at 18, you should be close enough... Besides we really have to make sure we get a good 35 year minimum tax extraction time from you before you can retire, right ?

 

I don't understand this 18 year old limit. It is like somebody would miraculously become all grown up when she turns 18. Many 18 year olds are still naive, vulnarable teenagers and these vultures know they can get away with exploiting them.

I really hope you are wrong, but I fear you may be right :(

I really dislike the "barely legal" ads, and every time I read I am hoping that this is just a bait. I would hate to see 18 year old girls getting into this profession, because most of them are not mature enough to make this decision for themselves.

 

I agree 100% with you.

 

And at the risk of offending some gentlemen here, I always find it disturbing when I see some older guys looking specifically for young girls.

I'm old and I find it disturbing as well. I am even more disturbed by the ongoing exploitation of children by both men and women on a national and international basis. If CL wanted to exercise some good corporate citizenship all erotic ads would not longer be permitted to help precude this sort of thing.

Anita, lol, I know, one such 15 year old sadly died this week using a 4 wheeler (she is not legaly supposed to be driving it before she is 16 at least...) how many drive cars ? scary thoughts.

 

I too agree that an abortion should be available. My point was more that we give the child the choice of wether or NOT to have an abortion outside the consent of the parent who may actually HAVE TO SUPPORT the child AND it's mother should she descide to keep it, ut have no say in the discussion (if you force your will on another it is NEVER alright, but it's a two way street).

 

An abortion or adoption is not something I have had experience with, but I am certain both carry a high level of emotional and possibly physical trauma.

 

True enough that some parents may have different values, thus a different tolerance for "accidents". Sadly this effects may areas in life, not just sex. A forbidden fruit always seems so much better then the one on the table...

 

The barely legal thing, I hope is just a bait, but given the article at the top, I fear that may not always be the case.

 

I agree, in fact should the sex trade in general be more tolerate (or better yet, accepted) more open discussion and possibly some for of "councelling" could be made available (maybe mandatory, if legal....) before one embarks on this career path.

 

 

Akhenaton, I understand that they should draw the line somewhere, and I am not happy thinking all those giggling 16 year olds are driving cars....

 

But I definitely agree that a young girl should have access to an abortion. Having gone through it myself, the experience is traumatic enough without your mother or God forbid your father lecturing you about it.

 

The kind of parent you could go to with this problem is very rare, and their children are not likely to go through this experience, because the parent lets them use birth control.

The kind of girls who are prone to teenage pregnancy and abortion are the ones with parents who are too strict to allow anything, too uptight to have an honest talk with the child or simply don't give a damn.

 

I really dislike the "barely legal" ads, and every time I read I am hoping that this is just a bait. I would hate to see 18 year old girls getting into this profession, because most of them are not mature enough to make this decision for themselves.

There would probably be a couple of interesting spin-offs (2nd and 3rd order effects) if CL did that.

 

1) Some local agencies would either have to go out of business or spend a great deal more than they do on advertising now

 

2) Same for some independent escorts well-known on here - local agencies and legit independents (of legal age, not B&S etc) make up the bulk of CL erotic ads.

 

3) Kijiji, I'm sure, would pick up any slack in that area.

[Guest S***e]

No doubt what you say is true, unfortunately. I do not want children to become futher victimized and a more proactive appoach is needed. As best as I can see, CL is not doing an adequate job in this regard.

Yes, perhaps if CL closely reviewed each erotic services ad before it allowed them to be posted, some of the things that are of concern would be eliminated or at least reduced.

 

Maybe turning the erotic services section into a paid ad section where you would need a credit card and proof of age to post would work as well.
