And they've 'saved' 16 or 17 of them in the past year and a half...

At about 1 per month, in 983 months (about 92 years) the problem will be resolved).

It's good to be getting the girls out of the system, but whatever you're doing, change it.

I think you need a new plan, as it doesn't sound very effective.

Actually we opened our doors at the end of August 2011. However, that is immaterial. This is a project that we have undertaken on our own and with the help of the community to rescue young women and our children who are being brutalized at the hand of pimps. The sad part is that you are so into making all cops the bad guys that you cannot see that there are some who actually has a heart and cares. Instead of the jabs, why not get involved. The 17 girls that have beed rescued and given a new lease on life would disagree with you. GPSEATTLE.ORG. I would welcome you to my team.

If it's so easy, why don't YOU go do it? The article didn't say that's ALL they do in LE. And trust me; any win is a win in this world.

RnD_Fan, actually we opened our doors to the center at the end of August of 2011. However, I think that is immaterial. It would seem that you are so into making all cops look bad, that you cannot recognized that there are a few who actually cares. I, along with my partners, have done this on our own time and with the help of our community partners, have been able to give young woman and our children hope and a new lease on life. Now, instead of painting us as the enemy, get involved. Go to Gpseattle.org. I would welcome you to our team.

Don't worry about wasting your time defending your efforts to the regular trolls and complainers on here. They are not interested in getting involved in solutions or seeing things as they are. They are only interested in painting LE with a broad negative brush. The rest of use realize that 1 saved is 1 less than was out there before - and that is definitely improvement.

Awesome that these girls are offered an alternative to use if they want.

At a time when there is so much government waste I gotta say this is something I support and would like to see expanded on. Letting people fall through the cracks of society with no way out doesn't benefit anyone.

I've made it known I work in banking and I can say first hand there are several crews of men in the snohomish county area that prey upon girls 16-20 for this. The girls started accounts with there parents and were happy kids. 6 months later they come in, visibly suffering from abuse/drug use, to deposit cash with older men at their side to pay off backpages.com and hotel room overdraft charges.

Wish there were stronger consequences and efforts to get the "pimps" off the streets for good.

This is a pathetic excuse to try to mainstream something whose source usually involves an illegal immigrant. The women are brought here, because of the demand of the illegal male workers. You ever seen the word "MASSAGE" in a plaze? There's a very good chance it is an improvised Asian brothel. Yeah from time to time a John happens to be a naitive from here, usually because his American wife wants another Mercedes and won't put out. But the truth is, you place tighter control on immigration and augment enforcement and this problem will go remain in Canada. But Democrats tend to hate the white population and enjoy destroying its culture, so unless things change in 2012 get used to it.

that force girls on to the street or into the life, are a major issue. This life style should be "free will only",minors and slaves never allowed

but I wish them all the luck in the world.
