Flawed Prostitution Law Results in Mother ‘Trading’ 16 y/o Daughter
Family First is disgusted with the actions of a mother who organised a prostitution ‘transaction’ between her 16 year old
daughter and a man, but say that this is an expected outcome of a flawed Act.
“Politicians who voted for this ideologically flawed bill which decriminalized prostitution should hang their heads in shame,
along with this mother,” says Bob McCoskrie, National Director of Family First NZ.
“Along with an increase in street prostitution, brothels operating in residential areas, the association of brothels and
prostitutes with drugs, alcohol, and used condoms littering the area, we now have increased teenage prostitution
(involving girls reportedly as young as 11), and worse still, a parent making financial gain from ‘selling’ their daughter.”
“This is no different to the horrendous stories we hear of child prostitution and trafficking in Asian countries,” says Mr
McCoskrie. “It is child abuse of the worst kind.”
“It is also a disgrace that a man who purchases sex from the mother of a 16 year old by paying with drugs is not
prosecuted. The best way to protect prostitutes is to prosecute the buyer (as evidenced in other countries.)”
“And despite attempts by Manukau City Council to gain control over this type of behaviour, politicians continue to block
attempts to support local communities. MP’s need a reality check on just how destructive this industry is.”
The Prostitution Law Review Committee’s report on the State of the Sex Industry in NZ, tabled in Parliament in 2005
found a 40% increase in sex workers since 2001, and a growing trend towards street prostitution (up from 3% in 2001 to
11% in 2004).
The report also identified about 200 prostitutes under the age of 18.
“The decriminalisation of prostitution has failed prostitutes by encouraging them to think that prostitution can be safe –
which it can never be. But now the law is also failing our communities and young people. We must change it before it is
too late and our children become victims, similar to our teenagers.”

Fair Facts and (Un)Fairfax

Being booted off a message board on TradeMe is to me a censorship that I never thought could happen in New Zealand. I have requested again to be reinstated after being removed twice for posting my opinion just as everyone else does on there. For some reason though I am the only one that has been removed. Or that is what I thought, seemingly many people are removed, yet still, contentious topics are discussed today as it should be, but why are just some of us removed??? Here is the latest reply to my request for reinstatement...


Thanks for contacting us.

I've looked at the history of your behaviour on the message boards and see that we've had to remove 26 posts because they didn't comply with our site rules. In particular you were posting contentious topics that generated a number of complaints from members of the community.

You were given a temporary suspension from the message boards because of this.

When your message board privileges were restored you were advised not to discuss contentious issues yet you continued to do this. As is our standard procedure if you continue to violate message board rules after you've been suspended you are permanently banned from the message board. I'm sorry for any frustration this may cause.

If you have any further questions or if I can be of any further help please do not hesitate to contact me.

Regards,

Jacqueline
