flesh trade has always been a social menaceand no matter how much the face of the world changes this is one leechy event that seems to be on the ever growing range. When for gad’s sake will women be garnted as something other than just bodiues. And as far child labour is concerned it will never come under control unless the governments all around the world can assure a stable economy for all and availability of the basic amenities to all. Even that is one of the basic disadvantages leading to flesh trade as well.

Ranita, it is an increasing trade, with all the technology of today that could be used to try and ebb its flow, but nothing seems to happen.

So many developing nations turn a blind eye to it, they know it exists but choose to ignore it. When you see huge countries like China and India not really making an effort it is saddening.

The problem as you said, ”having a basic ammenties for all.” These kids are usually so bad off that maybe being enforced into work is better than starving at their home.

It is sadly an evil that will be in our world until the day it ends.

No amount of legislation can put a halt to these forms of social malaise. Even the root cause is quite impossible to solve. By all indications, hunger seems to be a permanent thing.

But what’s more sad is that, except for physical abuse, most child laborers and child sex workers do not see their trade as oppression. They simply see it as a solution to stave off their hunger.

The problem in so many developing nations where child labour and prostitution is prevalent is the corrupt officials turning a blind eye. The people who are meant to be enforcing the law are corrupting it.

As you stated many of the children don’t see it an oppression they might see it as an escape from poverty and maybe even death.

It is when our stomach are well stacked that we think about morals and morality. When the existence is in danger, the only thing any species is interested in is self-preservation. So, when these kids refuse to see their condition as exploitation, they are simply following the laws of nature, that stand taller and firmer than any of the man made laws.

Howsoever despicable that might be, there is no denying the fact that poverty and hunger takes a toll on the individuals and on the societies. This is how the societies suffer and stand back on their feet. It is as though someone made this cycle of unbearable suffering followed by its reduction and then an upward swing.

We have hit the rock bottom, so the only way to go is up. All we can do is hope that we sail upwards soon enough.

I do hope our sails fill with wind and the ride is fast and furious, I know that I support child labour at times as I buy copied goods from time to time.

Nearly all of these products come from child labour factories, so I am not doing my peice to stop it. I am a hypocrite, you could say.

In corrupt societies in the Third World (and probably elsewhere, too), it’s the people in authority who abet child labor and child prostitution.

If there are laws that illegalize these, one can conclude that law enforcement is poor, if not nil, if these conditions continue to flourish.

Child labor and child prostitution are syndicated crimes. They are handled by well-financed organized crime groups. These phenomena are not few and far between, nor scarce and negligible.

Therefore, we can surmise that law enforcement and the judiciary are on the payroll of organized crime.

Sweatshops and prostitution rings that employ children are usually organized crime groups.

Most people go scot free even after getting caught. The tragedy is child abuse takes place almost everywhere.. even in the developed west! No child is immune from abuse, be it sexual, physical or mental.

Hi Jaiyant. That is the sad part that the punishment doesn’t fit the crime. Child abuse is a worldwide problem, even in first world countries it is more than rampant.

I’m not usually particularly ”Old Testament” (i.e. ”an eye for an eye”) but as I have come across this subject before in my studies I can only suggest that castration with a very blunt and rusty implement seems appropriate for such perpetrators...

That seems to be the most operationally expedient and assuredly permanent solution, Graeme! :):)

Graeme this would be too good for the scums who commit such acts, I would like to lock them up with the meanest prisoners at teh worst jails in the world and let every prisoner there know what they had done.

They are protected after they are arrested, locked away from the general population prisoners. Why protest the cowards? They preyed on innocent kids so they should experience the feeling.

But the castration does sound good.
