Forced prostitution of children - Time to stop it

The Boxing Day Tsunami has brought to light a dirty global secret - the forced prostitution of children and women worldwide. Many children orphaned by the Tsunami are at risk - by male predators from the U.S., Europe, and elsewhere.

It could be your daughter or young son being abused by these global gangs. It is happening to girls or boys their age. The U.S. needs to make this a priority as much as any problem presented by the Middle East, North Korea, etc. It will require a global effort to prosecute the predators and break up the gangs.

Social security is being touted as the latest crisis, but it has funds until 2018. Child prostitution is a 2005 problem; it is happening TODAY. 

If you are a young woman, look out. Young women, and girls, are being offered fake jobs that end up being a brothel. The problem is spreading - from Asia, East Europe, Central America, etc. And the predators are often middle aged American and Europe men -- many who are professionals with a very dark, twisted side.

Help me stomp this out. It will take global effort. The United States is the only country other than Somalia that has not signed the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. That would be a start...

And I intend to take whatever legislative, legal and public relations action necessary to protect these kids from sex predators.

Pass it on.
