Folks, we in the U.S FEED the prostitution rings - by the way we cut our foster kids loose at 16 - when they are said to "age out of the system". These kids who entered and grew up in foster care through no fault of their own, at 16 or 18 have to find a way to get themselves to school, have to find a place to live, have to fend for themselves, pay their own way. Ask yourselves how far you would have gotten in life, virtually completely on your own - at such a young age, with no support, no one to care what happens to you? What wonder is it that these kids find themselves in situations where they are dependent on the person who will provide for them, or help them in any way. These kids are absolute sitting ducks for abuse. "There but for the grace of God go I" has never seen a better example.
Thank you to the FBI for doing a great job. I don't think they ever get thanked enough for what they do and what they have to deal with day in and day out.
It is amazing how our country can have a blinds eye to such horrific things. Why is it that we can spend so much of our tax dollars for inmates to have housing food and educations but homeless children are lost and abused in our system. There are so many empty business buidling why not use government money in our own country to house these children and we could also create jobs for people to care for them. Make the inmates do without some luxaries such as school gyms even yards to move a round in and provide for our children.
There is a name for places to house children. They are orphanages. Orphanages fell out of favor in the United States and westertn countries because of the belief that many children were abused. mistreated, or neglected in orphanages. They have been replaced by group homes and treatment centers.
