The non-profit group “Stop Child Predators” has been exposed for what it is, a fake! A recent article in the Huffington Post exposes the group’s underlying interests – lobbying on behalf of businesses seeking to profit by scaring the public.
Case in point, the “group has published nearly identical op-eds and letters to the editor in Miami and Washington, D.C., and participated in anti-Airbnb campaigns in Los Angeles, Boston and San Diego” All claiming AirBNB is a vehicle through which child predators can get closer to children. The real motivation? Major hotel chains funding the efforts to stop vacation rental apps from encroaching on their market shares.
This isn’t the first time the group pushed the stranger danger angle for personal gain,”According to a 2011 Mother Jones investigation, one of the group’s earliest lobbying efforts was in support of “Jessica’s Law,” legislation that requires sex offenders to be monitored by GPS. At the time, Rumenap [Stacie Rumenap, president of the nonprofit Stop Child Predators] was on the advisory board of Omnilink Systems, a major vendor of the “offender monitoring” devices. Mother Jones reported that Omnilink would have earned up to $20 per person per day for every sex offender subject to the law if monitored using Omnilink’s equipment. Omnilink was also listed as a corporate partner of Stop Child Predators at the time.”
Here in Florida, we have to be especially weary of these non-profit child advocacy groups who receive significant financial support from corporate interests, such as private prison groups, in order to perpetuate fear in the public.
