And I wish we could take...

this passion and concern for what is happening with Epstein and use that to fix some broken systems in the US, like foster care above all, that fail these girls.

Yeah.

So one would be a real effort to prevent these girls from getting in trouble in the first place.

And that means some kind of trauma-enforced social care.

That means schools being more alert to kids who are in trouble and at risk of running away.

And then a much greater effort to stop runaways.

You know, the problem is that if you're a runaway in America and you're 14 years old, a pimp is going to find you before anybody else.

And then it's often very hard for these kids, girls or boys, to recover when they've gone in that direction.

So more outreach and support, more shelters and homes where they can be sent to and supported, a real effort to fix foster care, which, you know, only 4% of kids in foster care graduate from a four-year college.

That should be a scandal.

I mean, that's on us.

That's not on these kids.

And David made the point that there is this evil that lurks in a lot of corners and leads to this kind of abuse of young kids.

And I think that's right.

And how do we deal with that?

I think it's with accountability and accountability.

if you can scare people in a better behavior.

And that means creating accountability for those colleagues of Epstein who abused girls in that context.

But it also means going after buyers of sex of these young girls.
