Alberta extends child prostitution services to age 22.Alberta's Protection of Children Involved in Prostitution prostitution, act of granting sexual access for payment. Although most commonly conducted by females for males, it may be performed by females or males for either females or males. Act passed in 1999 will be amended a·mend v. a·mend·ed, a·mend·ing, a·mends v.tr. 1. To change for the better; improve: amended the earlier proposal so as to make it more comprehensive. 2. to provide more support to children and youth who are sexually exploited through prostitution. The proposed changes will extend supports to youth already receiving services that need additional time to complete programs that support ending their involvement in prostitution. Young people will be able to continue to access voluntary services until the age of 22 to help them deal with many of the complex issues facing sexually exploited children and youth. The name of the law will change from the Protection of Children Involved in Prostitution Act to the Protection of Sexually Exploited Children Act. The new name reinforces that these children are being sexually exploited and removes barriers to accessing services. The amendments also provide better protection for sexually exploited children from public identification, Minister of Children's Services Janis JANIS Joint Army Navy Intelligence Studies Tarchuk said. www.gov See .gov and GovNet.
