Child prostitution... one of the ugliest things ever. It's so embarrassing to be a human at<br />times - I mean, look at these beautiful little kids. They are children at play. Our babies. Unimaginable.  <br />Of course it does happen, in most countries. In all countries I'm sure.<br /> What can we do about it? There is demand for that and there are evil people <br />who will take care of supply. Sometimes people are so low and poor they sell their children.<br />Sometimes children are kidnapped.<br />Human nature can be so ugly .. Equally horrible those behind demand and supply  <br />I don't know what we can do.  Authorities often do clumsy job with handling the issue,<br />and with law making at times it feels like those behind the demand are actually on<br />high places, making laws and taking care of everything you know..

If we stop seeing and feeling, we remain powerless... it's only by seeing, feeling and then knowing that as a collective we CAN make it stop, that these children can be protected and live a normal childhood. Too many people don't want to see it because.....it hurts... it's awful... so they skip over it. These are OUR children... all of us.... WE have to take care of them.

You are correct Sarahli, in fact unfortunately, having looked at the title of this thread, I almost didn't look because I find it too upsetting.<br />But ignoring it doesn't make it go away (unfortunately)

<br /><br />Yes awareness is what can make things change. These people certainly would want that their evil deeds are not known so it's important to be aware and face reality as hard and despicable as it can be.
