  • In this week's episode of The Spotlight, we are exposing some of the hidden horrors of sex trafficking in Washington state. Bellevue police recently busted a sex offender who they say was running a brothel out of his rental home in Maple Valley. Investigators say Tony Eldridge used two web sites to advertise sex with women - one of them was a 15-year-old girl from Tacoma.

      And They Use the Medical Licensed Word Massage. The Massage License in Washington State Requires approx 850 hrs of Classroom Instruction, Including A & P, Muscle Identification I&O Function, Clinical, Etc. When I Attended Massage School here in 1991, the Program was approx 550 hrs of Classroom Time. The A&P was 1 Year in Lenght and was taught By A Naturpathic M.D. and I will say, far more Detailed than the Nursing Programs.
      The Oregon Massage Board has Prosecutorial Protections, meaning they can Directly Stop these Places, and Oregon Did after 2003, when hit by these places ( Using the Hard Earned State Licensure of Massage), starting in the mid 1990s as here. Washington State Board of Massage Did Not Care, but Also had their hands tied to take Action. Here it Requires Several Steps. Washington State Allowed this Disservice, to those that Have Properly Studied Massage with School Diploma, ans then take the State Boards. Personally I think the Programs should be 2 Years, not 1 or 1.5 Years.

    Its sad and frustrating that among the truly homeless people are tossed in with drug addicts. Its not fair that the government who are supposed to protect the lawbiding citizens dont protect the people who are homeless who dont do drugs or drink alcohol. My family of three are victims of this unspoken problem. We are treated just like them. We dont get any more help than they do. Its not right. My wife is 100% handicapped as well. Anyone who knows how difficult it is to juggle the care and trying to keep a roof over our heads should understand how I feel about it. I dont know what to do. Noone will speak up to let us know how to deal with this problem. We have to pay much more money for a hotel room that is suitable for a handicapped person. No bugs or rats crawling on them as they cant do much about it. Anyway the system is broken in the U.S. and should be fixed before sending billions to Ukraine. There should be no homeless in America who doesnt do drugs or alcohol. Money spent on hotel room is expensive but we have day to day to get more money then what we get. GOD BLESS. AMEN.

    There is no responsibility connected with any crime in Washington State; the perpetrator doesn't have to comply with anything; the perpetrator is treated for scratches and bruises and let loose to walk around the corner and commit their next crime. The victim has to stay and fill out paperwork. Nobody cares until somebodies mother is crying which is ten years too late. This is how pathetic losers do things and how they keep it this way.

    In order for us to report we would have to have details regarding how the children are trafficked, who the children are, who is trafficking them, and details regarding commercial element of financial gain. Do you have any of that information? My response: nope just pictures of the trafickers, the scared kids, the vehicles and plates. They wanted nothing of the info. It made me sick. I went off on them told the all they are is another road block allowing the criminals to finish and keep doing their cries makes me fking sick. U watch it every day in tumwater and nothing is done.

But the fact that the United States spends the majority of that one hundred and fifty eight Billion dollars trafficking children to get raped by adults that share your view on underaged girls speaks volumes about you.
