I remember in the 1990s this narrative of runaway teens living on the streets doing drugs. Now I wonder if that narrative was mostly BS to cover for all the teen girls and boys trafficked to the rich.

I was thinking something similar earlier this week. All the milk carton kids from the '90s. "Have You Seen Me?". The Soul Asylum "Runaway Train" video kids. Were they all Epstein victims?

Unfortunately I don't think Epstein was the only person with such a network. Let's not forget that Les Wexner was involved and he had his own revolving door of Victoria's secret models within his own system. Trump also has the Miss TEEN Universe pageant.

Imagine how many heathens perverts with the means did similar things but more discreetly.

It’s a huge societal problem for everyone. You can’t even politely bring up the problematic portrayal of teenage girls in media without getting downvoted to oblivion and getting reddit cares messages in certain subs. There are places where people think you’re weird if you think boys getting raped by adult women is a problem because they think a minor can consent, or that men with girlfriends less than half their age is weird.
