re: #109 Charles

Senate bill to protect young prostitutes gains momentum.

There is probably a section of the bill missing from what’s online.

I linked the proposed bills with the amendments earlier. The issue with including the diversionary programs in the same legislation is that the particular section of the Georgia Codes deals with what is criminal activity - not what to do with criminals or victims. Other legislation would have to be offered in tandem to provide those programs if they are not already in place for at risk teens and victims. I know of several programs for at risk teens outside of the Juvenile Justice and Corrections systems already.
