Craigslist Stopping Erotic Services Ads
By Rose Scott
Atlanta, GA – With just 3 clicks it was relatively easy to submit or respond to ads posted under the Erotic Services section of Craigslist.com
Federal and local authorities have discovered some of the postings were fronts for child prostitution.
But that's going to change.
Kaffie McCullough is the campaign director for A Future A
Not A Past, an advocacy group for stopping child prostitution in Georgia.
((I give Craigslist credit for responding to the increaseing outrage over what's happening with that particular part of the website---I really commend for them for the move they're making and their attempts to try and keep our children safe))
A spokesperson for Craigslist declined to be interviewed for this story.
But in a statement said a new category would be created for what the company calls legal adult service providers. Each posting will be screened and approved.
