You're absolutely right. As I mentioned earlier, one of the biggest frustrations the law enforcement agencies have is that even if they know somebody is committing this crime, there's nothing they can do about it. Even if someone like you, or any other victim, reports this to a police officer and says that's what's happening to them, that these individuals, gangs, or criminal organization members are forcing them, recruiting them, or doing this to them, there's nothing the police can do under our existing law.
You're absolutely right. This would make it a criminal offence. Particularly if someone is recruiting or is caught recruiting those under the age of 18, they would be subject to a minimum mandatory sentence of six months and up to five years.
