  • Selling Children

    Recently I came across a documentary about child prostitution in Kambodia. The story is that Americans, particularly men, are traveling all the way to Kambodia to "buy" 7 to 16 year old children. It is said that any taxi you sit in and tell them you want "yum yum" they take you to this sewage like underground place, where there are these little girls. You ask for two girls ages 7 and 10 for an hour or two, they say ok $50. A team of reporters had gone to check it out and said that "we asked if they know how to perform oral sex and if other things can be done to them, all they said was ya ya, $50." The team of reporters also confronted an American Doctor in Kambodia "buying" one of th young girls, they asked him what he was doing and why, All he said was "I can't be responsible for things i do when I am intoxicated or on a pill." To think this is an American doctor. Amercians, who are so against these kind of things, and a Doctor, someone who is defined as a person who is skilled or specializing in healing and known as a person that saves lives. This person is having sex with a 7 year old child.

    I find this to be disgusting, imoral, and completely out of line. Kambodia is a third world country, their people are starving you can understand how and why they had to stoop so low. But when i think about the Amercians traveling so far for something so wrong, I question the country we live in and the people that live in our country. This sort of thing happens in different parts of the world and we don't usually hear about it, It isnt only in Kambodia. It is just plain sick.

    I saw that episode of 60 minutes too. The doctor was wrong. There are laws in many western countries about doing things like that overseas. Laws like that are gonna get written in the U.S. as well. Bush mentioned it in a speech to the U.N. last year. But it was more addressed at transporting slaves across borders. Either way it's very hard to prove these things in court.

      "Starving" doesn't make it any more understandable, or moral.

        True, there is so much evidence required in order to even file the complaint. The discovery alone will take at least a year. Although I also herd that the UN wants to prosecute Kambodia, However, I have strong doubts about them actually following through.

          They arn't only starving, but even more than that it still doesn't make it moral or understandable, where you can say its ok. Its not ok, its wrong, but i can see why they have to do what they do. I dont know if you get what I'm trying to say, I can't really explain it any other way.

              You think our government, the one who is so into world affairs and making things right in other countries, would be doing something about it. I guess America is too busy putting their hands where they don't belong and not putting them where they do.
