This isn't the kind of thing congress needs to be worrying about. Funding for these kinds of programs is already stretching the interstate commerce rationale a bit far, but to begin to regulate into an area that should be handled by local officials is too much.
The problem is that local officials get willful blindness when it comes to their local source of incoming money. Occasionally it provides the entire local community's income.
The fact that parents in most states can legally hire thugs to send their kids to a hellhole where child abuse laws go unenforced makes it interstate commerce from the get-go.
Frankly, the FBI should crack down on these places the same way they do drug rings and the Mafia. The people who run these places are getting sexual excitement from this. It's like kiddie porn minus the photos.
i guess that barronsoft does not care about the well being of children in this country. it is sad that these places had a blind eye turned on them. perhaps if local or federal people acted sooner less children would have been killed in these places.
