Hasn't the guy that the movie is about recently been charged with human trafficking? Because his method for saving these children was to go out to these child traffickers and buy the children off of them. Like how someone who wants to buy a child slave would.

Here we go https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/crime/sound-of-freedom-investor-sex-trafficking-b2388549.html kidnapping was the charge

I think it's not that people are against trying to stop child sex trafficking, but that this guy's methods were extremely suspect and due to him buying these kids, actually encouraged the sex traffickers to traffic more children.

I dunno. What do you think?

I think historically buying slaves in order to free them has been a legitimate way of freeing slaves.

If he was charged with kidnapping by buying them, would the same thing have happened if he just took them? Would it have been murder AND kidnapping if he had shot the traffickers and taken the kids?

Here's another way to look at it -

WERE THE CHILDREN STILL GETTING FUCKED? OR DID THEY GO HOME?

Well, there's a question. Are the kids being fucked? Not sure there's much of a paper trail. Where are these kids now?

And let's be clear, they were giving child slavers money in exchange for slaves. They got paid to sell slaves, and we're allowed to continue selling slaves. They are still active now. And this organisation is still presumably giving them money in exchange for child slaves.

The guy is probably straight up reselling kids into abusive situations.
