A community in Oakland, California, is sounding the alarm on suspected prostitutes and pimps that loiter near a Catholic school 'during all periods of the day.'
, but construction on East 12th Street has pushed the prostitutes into residential neighborhoods, ABC 7 reported. Some of the girls are only 15 or 16 years old, according to Gallo, which has set off concerns ofOakland City Councilman Noel Gallo
Local police have since sounded off that the bill prevents them from rescuing young girls who have been trafficked, ABC 7 reported. "That is absolutely dead wrong. SB 357 has been in effect for 30 days, this problem has been around a lot longer. So I think it's a copout frankly for the police to say this law, which is brand new, is preventing them from doing anything," Wiener told ABC7 when asked about concerns from police.
Gallo said he accompanied police on a ride-along to witness the prostitution and saw a van with Nevada plates roll into the area early in the morning and leave at night.
