I disagree.

 

Every decision has benefits and disadvantages. Here the benefit would be separating children who are being trafficked. The disadvantage is separating children from their real family.

 

If the rate of trafficking was one percent, you would need to separate 100 real children just to successfully separate one trafficked child. In that scenario, I'd consider alternatives. As I said, you could keep them all together, do an investigation FIRST and if deemed high risk at that point then separate. You may be able to get the number down to 20 to 1 or less through a screening process first, instead of assuming all children are trafficked until proven otherwise.

 

If the rarity of the event doesn't matter, then why wouldn't you support very strict gun laws. Why don't we assume everyone buying a gun is a cold blooded killer? To use your words - I would think not selling to one cold blooded killer would far outweigh not selling to responsible mature gun owners. What's that you say? Cold blooded killers are an extreme minority of those legally buying guns. But surely statistics can't help us make that tough decision?

I'm all for gun restrictions but not because I believe everyone is a cold blooded killer but because I know that there are people out there who can't be trusted with a gun. Just like I know there are people out there who can't be trusted with kids.

 

I feel sorry for the children, I really do. But their parents got them where they are and now we need to make sure we protected those children.
