To protect vulnerable populations such as minors and the elderly against exploitation, laws should be put in place that prevent adults from taking advantage of their vulnerabilities. These laws should include provisions to better monitor living environments and work situations to ensure that proper safety protocols are in place. For example, safeguards could require background checks for all adult caregivers, periodic check-ins for high-risk populations, additional security measures such as surveillance of high-traffic areas, specialized training for those who work with vulnerable populations, and clear guidelines regarding appropriate interactions with minors or the elderly. Furthermore, effective education about exploitation risks and responses should be provided to both vulnerable individuals and their caregivers.

Some measures that could be taken to protect vulnerable populations against exploitation include: setting a minimum age of consent for any kind of activity; enacting legislation requiring background checks for individuals who are hired to work with minors or the elderly; implementing strict guidelines regulating payment and compensation arrangements between adults and minors; prohibiting child labor, including young entertainers being paid to appear in sexualized music videos; enforcing laws which forbid employment practices such as discriminating based on age or race/ethnicity in hiring decisions; strengthening consumer protections where applicable.
