To me, the real benefit of Fornit's are the posts where former program prisoners share their experiences. The larger the database of such accounts and having these show up on Google searches, the better chance researching parents will come across this information and think twice before calling for the escorts.
Informing and educating the public is the only way to change the culture's thinking and create public pressure to change policy and law. To accomplish this, a certain critical mass is required.
Advocates help, but not when they are busy fighting among themselves and are so few in number that program supporters and politicians can dismiss them as crackpots. What is needed is leadership, expertise, and numbers. I thought the symposium (or whatever it was called) in Washington DC with ASTART were a good start, not perfect, but a good start.
