As compared to the maga projection of "grooming" to bait liberals, all deserve far more scrutiny than they have typically been subject to.

But there also must be sugar-daddies and organizer/managers out there, with obvious candidates likely to be found in the ranks of those named in the JE files, but doubtless buttressed by wealthy misogynistic paternalistic hierarchies here and abroad.

... as well as the Catholic Priests of America, if there is such a thing. I don't know because it's been a long time since my grown son participated in high school athletics ... but I'd be careful around some of the high school coaches.

The important thing is to be truthful with our own adolescent children, warning them of the dangers out there. They need to know that not all adults are safe to be around. Ultimately it's still the responsibility of PARENTS to keep their OWN children safe. Problems arise when parents stop doing this, or if they aren't capable of doing it.

1st of all, for many that abuse starts at home. add on teen rebellion, budding sexuality, and boy, soon it’s a swamp.
good parenting helps, but it’s not enough. empowering kids to listen to their instincts helps, but so often their futures depend on bad actors who know it.
and especially in our f’d up economy, where so many work so many hours, just keeping food and a roof can b as much as a person can handle.

it takes a village. a village full of ‘busy bodies’.

I'm in my 70s, and I grew up completely innocent of all these dangers. My own parents were very responsible, but they never breathed a word about predatory behavior or pedophiles to us when we were kids.

It's all so different now.

Just hear me out, what if he's not just in the Epstein files
But actually a part of the trafficking ring
. He ran the Rump Modeling Agency and owned the Miss Teen America Pagent.
That might explain why the Pharisee Speaker of the House is trying so hard to stop information from coming out.
And we all know he’ll do anything for a buck!

Model Agency, Pageant boss .... You got demand, I got supply.

Why did it end?
Some say that he was about to flip on the Orange Mandarin.

There's any 'what if' about it. He was a partner in the crimes and I think all those documents he squirreled away at the end of 1.0 are evidence we need to see. Surely he kept them, FBI files, so nobody could use them but him. I'm sure any damning files about him are probably buried with Ivana's ashes.

Starting to wonder who else is buried at his golf courses.

LIDAR would probably do the job just fine, it's adjustable for different things and depths. I was studying that in its infancy when I was in grad school, pretty cool tool. If they can use it to find sunken cities, I think they could find bones a few feet down... unless he was using large construction sites.

i know some journo tried to get some former models to talk, back in 16, but they wouldnt. they blamed it on the nda’s, but i’m pretty sure it was more than a piece of paper that they feared.

Now, I'm terrified. There was a little of that with Epstein/Trump that I read about but, the Franklin trafficking was so fucking evil and this started back with Reagan/Bush. Not that E/T was not totally evil. Seems like they eventually murder their victims, some in snuff porn. I could have gone my while life not knowing about this shit. Those people, whoever they are need to be exposed deposed and whatever comes next.

He has been safeguarding this info for the benefit of very wealthy pedophiles. I have to wonder if he has benefitted from that. Hmmm
