    168 Children Rescued In Sex-Trafficking Crackdown

    http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/0...ef=mostpopular

    This kind of stuff makes me sick to my stomach. But it kind of surprised me that. Most of these kids were American. I mean its not uncommon to have kids taken in nearly every country but it surprised me that so many were from the US. Oh well I am just glad there okay.

    "These are not faraway kids in faraway lands," FBI Director James Comey said in announcing the annual enforcement push known as Operation Cross Country. Instead, he added, "These are America's children."
    It also makes me wonder, Quite a few weren't reported taken.

    One challenge, officials said, is that many of the children who were recovered were never reported missing in the first place — by parents, guardians and the entire child welfare system designed to protect them.

    That last part is the most worrying, IMHO.
    Nobody cared (or were paid).

    There were some investigations like a year ago. On parents who no longer can take care of there child so they sell it on the market, For money instead of putting it up for adoption.

    He said better laws were needed to require child welfare service to report children who disappear. Right now, he said, only two states have laws requiring agencies to report children missing from their care. There is no national, uniform standard.
    The fuck? Seriously?

    Not an excuse in the US, though. We have systems in place to take care of children parents can no longer take care of.

    Yes, But there are also people who dont care about the welfare of the child and much rather sell it for the money then make sure the child is safe.

    Partly an outcome of stupid abortion legislations.
    But soon after Mr Xi secured a third term, Apple released a new version of the feature in China, limiting its scope. Now Chinese users of iPhones and other Apple devices are restricted to a 10-minute window when receiving files from people who are not listed as a contact. After 10 minutes, users can only receive files from contacts.
    Apple did not explain why the update was first introduced in China, but over the years, the tech giant has been criticised for appeasing Beijing.

    This will always be a problem, especially in this day and age as information is being peddled on how to access such areas of the net; Further incentivizing these people to harm children.

    I think it was a joke referencing the movie Taken, though that is in poor taste even for me.

    This is not news to me, but it makes me sick nonetheless. I'm glad there are some people who are willing to fight this injustice.

    There's a part of me, way deep inside, that thinks the people who traffic children for sex deserve a very special execution. I like to call it death by impaling. It was popular once, a long time ago, and I can think of no other group of people who deserve it more than the monsters who would do this crap to children. These particular bad guys need to be made to realize just how much of a bad idea this route is.

    I wouldn't say that this is something representing humanity. If we get rid of it, of course.
