yeah, but I'm thinking these "campaigns" are super insidious and crafty so that women are literally hoodwinked into it. And imagine being poor and starving and needing to work so badly that you'd basically jump at any opportunity available . But you're right, there should be some kind of watchdog group or something that ferrets out these malevolent bastards exposing them for the filth that they are. Unfortunately, this whole industry is so ingrained and diffuse that it's nearly impossible to be rid of it and stop it completely.

Did anyone see the one that was far, far worse and haunts me to this day? It was actually a story about catching a Canadian murderer, he killed a prostitute, or some prostitutes...anyway, the way they found him was something like...the tapes he was making when he went to Thailand to have sex with...oh, they looked about five - year old girls? I guess he was making the tapes to sell. That happens all over there, and they showed the girls, and it was just...like their job...they were all "$20 for BJ, $40 for sex" and just ticking off their price list on their fingers like little professionals. Honestly, I wish I'd never seen that show. I'm sure I knew that that happened, in the back of my mind, but seeing it is just horrifying. Thinking about how many people go to a foreign country (or I dunno, the people who live there, too) specifically to sleep with children, it's just another market there. The fact that there are men who do that is what makes me horrified and uneasy and sickened. I know there's also a big market for little boys, as well. Guh. And in fact, there was a whole governmental ring from Argentina or some place like that that was busted awhile back. The whole gov't was trafficking young boys, for themselves. Something like that.
Humans suck so bad.

I have seen numerous documentaries on this very subject in every country possible. The human kind can be the ugliest of creatures.
