>>>>>I regularly read BBC En Espanol site (in Spanish). They have had tons of reports of women from eastern Europe telling stories of being treated worse than slaves. So BBC reporters find these prostitutes and know about pimps. But police can't find them. Either European police is stupid or corrupt. You choose.

>>>>Awwww... You still don't have a clue, do you .... What do you think what will happen when a prostitute is going to the police and telling their story. Do you think she will live very long ?? What do you think such a prostitute will answer when a policeman is interviewing here whether she is a victim?? You're talking about victims of criminal organisations that don't have much respect for life.

>>>Absolutely. There is legal and illegal prostitution in the US. But not even close to the extent it is in Europe. And mostly not the child prostitution and inhumane treatment of people that I read in European press.

>>Keep on dreaming. If its illegal, it is much less visible to the police.

>The United States [map] has assumed a leadership role in the protection of children and the punishment of those who victimize young people. In April 2003, a significant milestone was reached when Congress passed the Protect Act (Prosecutorial Remedies and Other Tools to End the Exploitation of Children Today Act of 2003), which was subsequently signed into law by President Bush.

But did it get any funding? or is it another 'No Child Left Behind?'
