QuoteRANDY ZELIN, CRIMINAL DEFENSE ATTORNEY: Well, first of all, a perk is getting extra coffee at the workplace and good coffee, a good parking spot. Being able to exist and survive and being afforded equal protection under the law, that's not a perk. That's a right. And the bottom line is we are talking about children, vulnerable to begin with.

Now, putting them in a situation where you are almost assuring that they could be raped, assaulted, humiliated, they are coming out worse than when they went in, and that's not a perk. That's got to be dealt with, and it's got to be addressed, and this is the best way to address this.
