Hey, if the boss can do it, why can’t the rest of the agents?

Hey, leave the girls that love horses alone

This whole thing is a distraction. Florida was just a small part of a 12 country international effort yet they are make it seem like they did this all themselves. This whole news conference was propaganda! In the end the Epstein class will be protected and the general public will think Florida police are the heroes, as they let thousands fall victim to Epstein/Trump over the decades.

Because it’s a BS announcement trying to repair Florida police reputation after their failure to keep kids safe from the Epstein class (most victims were from Florida)

Most of these kids were never in any peril. They were with parents who did not have custody when they were recovered 163 kids were recovered in an international coordinated effort yet Florida law enforcement is using this as a PR move to make it seem like they were the heroes.

FUN FACT: “Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier stated that the cases varied significantly on an individual basis, including runaway children, family custody disputes, foster care situations, CPS cases of abuse, abandonment, and neglect, and human trafficking.”

To be clear helping kids/teens in any of those situations is GOOD and should always be a priority for law enforcement and state/local officials. But…

Officials/Law Enforcement will roll all of this together into “an operation” specifically because it will get headlines even if 90% of the “recovered” kids were not even in any peril.

The reality is generally mostly:

Dozens to hundreds of cases that are completely unrelated

Runaway children (mostly teens) who are located

Family custody disputes where a parent refuses to relinquish custody or moves without telling the other parent/family

Kids who get “lost” in the Foster care system (literal paper work issues)

CPS cases (domestic abuse, abandonment, neglect…) that get elevated to Law Enforcement

Human Trafficking “light” - teens who “willingly” engage in prostitution

Truly heinous Human Trafficking/Sex Abuse/etc

Online/Digital child-porn victims

Anyway these news websites will take this PR brief from the police as gospel instead of actual getting the facts, which is 3 individuals were arrested in Florida related to this operation but still no details on what the charges are. Very vague reporting on an operation involving 12 countries and 6 states which Florida just happened to be a part of

That’s illegal 😂

You need to pay to bury your family or you’ll be jailed.

What a shithole country

Lol fucking racist ass trump supporters 🤮😂

McDonald’s™ I’m loving it!

Keep track of his every move just so we know he isn’t breaking the law

Bahaha small libertarian state my ass. It’s called a $1 tax

Meh maybe, I live in LA and people just don’t give a fuck. Hell, 1/3 still support trump

Dayum this sub is a month behind the curve 😂

These are elementary school students, which makes this even worse. I live in Los Angeles and I am disgusted the way this state allows this to continue. The funny thing, the politicians refuse to count how many empty homes there are. All these virtuous Democrats would hate to have anything happen to their precious property values.

Chill, it’s just a fun coincidence. Unless it destroys Washington DC, then I will find religion!

Fuck the pedophile protecting secret service. We still don’t have answers after butler. Those fucks are just as fascist as every other pig in this police state

The only government that works for the people is a government that is afraid of the people

Yo this is awesome thanks for the link!

I made a lemmy account because old.reddit is gone. It’s the end for that website, for me at least
