On July 29, 1994, New Jersey resident Megan Kanka was lured into the home of Jesse Timmendequas, a convicted sex offender, with promises of seeing a puppy (Corrigan, 2006). Once she entered his house, she was raped twice, strangled with a belt, and suffocated with a bag (Corrigan, 2006). Timmendequas was arrested soon after and confessed to this crime (Corrigan, 2006). This event outraged Kanka's parents and the surrounding community (Corrigan, 2006). They used this tragic death to create Megan's Law as an addition to the Jacob Wetterling Crimes against Children Violent Offender Registration Act, which required sex offenders to register within their counties (Welchans, 2005).

James English 111 8 June 2015 Bridgette Carr Comments on Trafficking Victims Protection Act: A Rhetorical Analysis Bridgette Carr composed the Article “Trafficking Victims Protection Act needs to be more supportive of child victims”. As a clinical assistant professor and director of human trafficking clinic at the University of Michigan Law School she has done much research on this topic.

HB 1523 is discriminatory in that it singles out a select group of people, and it is contradictory to claims that it protects the religious rights of Christians. The only religious right of a Christian is to love God and his fellow man, and HB 1523 protects neither of those rights. The bill is little more than a cynical and biased shell game perpetuated by selective beliefs that are anything but Christian. The very idea that such a bill could surface in what a growing number of Mississippians were beginning to hope and believe was

The article, “California house of horrors parents face life in prison on torture, abuse charges”, authored by Greg Norman, informs the reader about two parents that held their thirteen children hostage in Perris, California. On January 16, 2018, the 17-year-old daughter of David and Louise Turpin escaped from her home to call the police because she and her 12 siblings were held hostage in their own home. Once the police arrived, they barged into the home only to find malnourished children, and some chained to their beds. This disgusting sight will put the parents of these children in jail for the rest of their lives, with a bail of nine million dollars. As stated by the article, “Riverside County District Attorney Michael Hestrin announced Thursday that Louise Anna Turpin, 49, and David Allen Turpin, 57, have been hit with an array of charges, including counts of torture, child abuse, false imprisonment and a lewd act on a child by force, fear or duress.

As provided in the text, "In fact, nationwide, most women on death row are awaiting execution for a family crime involving an allegation of child abuse or domestic violence involving a male partner" (Stevenson 201). This shows that women are being arrested more and more for harming their children even though it may not be true. Also provided in the text, "Trina Garnett was the youngest of twelve children living in the poorest section of Chester, Pennsylvania just outside of Philadelphia. Chester had extraordinarily high rates of poverty, crime, and unemployment- and the worst-ranked public school system among Pennsylvania’s 501 districts, nearly 46 percent of the city’s children were living below the federal poverty level" (Stevenson 124).

Essentially the purpose of this bill is to lessen the punishment on minors who are forced into sex trafficking, while helping to provide them with recovery programs that are stated in other bills. Along with this, the bill also harshens the punishments for those who solicit the victims and the victimizers alike. If this bill is passed and made a law one of the limitations that will be lifted off of a victim of trafficking is that they can report the crime without any set date. Currently victims can’t report the crime if it is more than 5 years ago. This bill is so states can adopt safe habor laws which basically make sure that a trafficking victim is treated as a victim not a criminal and is given the proper help they need.

That conviction is where the process of change really begins-with the realization that just because a certain abuse has taken place in the past doesn’t mean that we have to tolerate that abuse in the future or that we can afford to avert our eyes.” (John F. Kerry, Secretary of State) Human trafficking is an issue that evades discussion among the general population and is often considered uncomfortable within the public eye.
