Did you watch the news coverage of this?
I read news stories and now have seen 2 legit news clips (you posted a bullshite one earlier from X) which just regurgitate the news stories.
There isn't much real information about the breakdown at this point, and I will say, given the nature of the cases, it's unlikely we get much more (due to this being children and many of them being brought into Florida's CPS, which means those cases will be confidential).

I posted the Attorney Generals news conference and like the dippy doo wad in this thread Cubs...You will go on about wanting facts. Then when you get the facts, dismiss as children were involved so no more info will be achieved...
Cubs will then make those posting the horrid story guilty of sensationalism. Cubs is a nutcase, are you?
I will post the AG news conference again

it did not contain much information, and what it did is in the Fox story I linked pages ago

What facts?
The 163 children found and 3 arrested? We know this.
We have very broad facts but no details. And I doubt we get more, given the nature of the case.

You saw video of things having nothing to do with this story, just FYI.
I saw screaming children, but if it turns out the story is actually less dark I won't complain.

People take real news stories and co-opt them with exaggeration all the time.
Is there any proof all 163 including a 2 month old were in a sex trafficking ring?
This is how the Epstein stuff started. Some runaway teens maybe get caught up in street prostitution and that sort, but most likely the 2-month-old was a custody dispute.
Look at what happened recently when they cut a few trees down. That story morphed into Trump is cutting down all the cherry blossoms to build a golf course. I really don't see how people can't figure this out yet. Social media is an outrage machine.

I'm arguing for a non-partisan discussion. In what way is that "one upping the leftist"?

This needs to be posted at the top of every thread and page on the PT in bold letters with a flashing border.

Yes, and I thought Ed answered that question. I don’t know if it was in response to you, but he stated earlier that we don’t know and opined the reason was it was early in the investigation. I have nothing to add to that
I'm sorry but I did respond to that and it was a poor response from him. Quite obviously whoever did the report is aware at least generally speaking of the breakdown. When people are aware of something but they choose not to report it it's almost never by accident. Anybody who's been paying attention to how journalists operate for more than 5 minutes knows this.
My entire position is entire threat is basically this. When I know a journalist is being intentionally opaque I'm going to wonder why the journalist is being intentionally opaque. I don't give them a pass just because they happen to be covering subject matter near and dear to my heart. In fact it actually is going to annoy me more. Because shitty journalism in support of something you agree with does more harm than good.

To clarify, this isn't the journos. This choice was made by the government.

Fair enough but I placed the responsibility still with the journalist. Anybody of sound mind and body receiving such vague information should immediately follow up with the question I posed in this very thread. Sir can you tell us the breakdown among those three categories? And if I received a bullshite answer I would make sure to include that I received a bullshite answer in my story.

The problem is what we saw in this thread. If you question the narrative, you're attacked as a child abuse sympathizer or labeled a child predator.
The government knows this, which is why they know they can trigger emotional reactions and thwart any deeper analysis of the stories. Also since most of these will end up in confidential proceedings, they're shielded there, too.
Various levels of government targeted "trafficking" about 10-12 years ago to change both the legal definitions and connotations to justify both expanding government power and to replace lost power due to losing the WOD (especially with marijuana and psychedelics, which are becoming more accepted both medically and socially).
People just pretend that teen runaways becoming prostitutes has always been "trafficking" or "child sex trafficking" and that's a VERY recent destruction of language. I have done this often, but I will cite examples in media of this trope from the past and ask people to find the "trafficking" references in media contemporary to the time. Taxi Driver is a real common example.
This has fueled the cognitive dissonance by many as to current safety. Lots of millennials and younger Gen X think today is more dangerous than when they grew up, when in reality when they grew up was some of the most dangerous times to live in modern US. The funny/scary part is that we all grew up with "Stranger Danger" that, while much more prevalent, was the same bullshite. Now it's much less common but people think it's a bigger threat.
This has been a pet sociological issue of mine for years. Longer than the language destruction behind "trafficking" for sure.

This is the most info I've seen about it:
LINK
163 kids recovered across multiple jurisdictions, states, countries and continents, and only 3 people charged. It doesn't make any sense.
quote:
"The children ranged in age from 2 months to 17 years old, and many had experienced various levels of abuse, neglect, exploitation, or exposure to other criminal activity," authorities said in a news release.
The vulnerable youth that were rescued included:
46 in the Tampa Bay region
41 in Miami
32 in Jacksonville
21 in Orlando
12 in Fort Myers
8 in Pensacola
3 in the Tallahassee region
The operation also led to an unknown number of other children being found in six states, one U.S. territory and 12 countries, FDLE said.
"Recovered children needing assistance were safely transported by local law enforcement to designated recovery hubs, where they received support from social services, child welfare professionals, medical providers, victim advocates, and other child-centered resources," officials said.
According to FDLE, Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier’s Office of Statewide Prosecution and the Miami-Dade State Attorney’s Office are taking on three felony cases as a result of the operation.
The new release did not provide information about possible arrests.
“Many of these kids have been victimized by those who prey on the most vulnerable,” Uthmeier is quoted in the news release. “Thanks to the outstanding work of FDLE, the Office of Statewide Prosecution, and our state and local partners, these children are now safe and receiving the care they deserve. Florida will continue leading the recovery of missing children, hunting down every predator, and prosecuting abusers to the fullest extent of the law.”
