The US and child porn and sexual abuse relative to the rest of the world?

[YUPPIE]

As much crap as people like to give the US for its problem in regards to pedophiles and child sex trafficking, are there places in the world outside of America that makes a more or roughly equal public and legal effort to crack down on that shit?

When I read into how many places in the world are still so behind, like allowing child marriage or favoring gender ratios in court to abuse of children (India), or legalizing a whole industry around child sexual exploitation like with Japan and South Korea and its idol industries, the reality is I see the US as a leading example of actually caring the most.

But am I wrong? Are there countries better in terms of legal enforcement, because I think Australia is pretty good at enforcing strict laws like its monitored curfews and banning of any kind of inappropriate imagery regardless of it being so much as hand-drawn.

Other countries being worse does not excuse American conservatives from being shitheads.

yes I understand we mainlyhave an issue with predators in places of power and authority, but in terms of making an effort like with the FBI among other agencies, isn't the US technically number one?

The US allows child marriages, ever heard of pageant moms and teen stars, I don't think the US is at a developing country like India but it seems you are woefully misinformed on the issues.

it's not something you can really measure since the crimes and the investigations are both very secretive. you can pull up the numbers for highest conviction rates and use them to claim either "this country is the best as they've solved more crimes" or "this country is the worst because they have this many crimes to solve". numbers are very, very misleading

that's fucking messed up as shit. But even then, I'm (at least believing) under the assumption it doesn't happen often because we've ingrained into society that pedophilia is evil and people will shun you for that kind of marriage. Also, the reason I view the US so favorably is because of how much I look up to the FBI and their work. I don't think such dedicated intelligence agencies to this matter exist anywhere else.

Then as I asked, what is a place as good at the US at least in terms of caring, or better?

This isn't GDP from child poverty, child marriages, arcane laws that allow predators to escape and how we treat religious predators you can't say we are better. It's not something that is easily quantifiable, aside from using children as a tool for oppressive laws there isn't a party actively tackling this. That's not even going into how limited we are because something something states rights.

isn't a core difference with the US and other nations that we've instilled the universal thought pedophilia is wrong into society at large, though? The citizens in certain other places wouldn't even care or forget over time. I think that's a good accomplishment.

Like here, if a celebrity is a pedophile and gets off with it only their actions being publicized? We cancel the shit out of that person and hound them forever.

There's no widespread apathy here.

Woody Allen says hi.

Pedophilia being wrong is pretty universal in most of first world countries.

uhm

Between 2000 and 2015, over 200,000 minors were legally married in the United States,[10] or roughly six children per thousand.[11]

Not much to crack down, if it's legal.
