Children as young as 10 'groomed for sex
Children as young as 10 'groomed for sex by gangs'

Children as young as 10 are being sexually exploited by organised gangs of men in cities across the UK, a leading charity says.

Barnardo's says it is working with more than 1,000 children who have been groomed, abused and trafficked for money, and the problem is growing...

Earlier this month, two married British men of Pakistani origin were jailed in Derby for grooming and abusing several teenage girls. The former home secretary Jack Straw later claimed some Pakistani men believed white girls were "easy meat", but he was immediately criticised for his remarks...

The The Children's Society, Penny Nicholls said;

"Too many children and young people are being sexually exploited in the shadows of society, groomed in secret by heartless gangs of sexual predators or bogus boyfriends who shower vulnerable children with gifts and lure them to be horrifically exploited, sometimes for years on end."

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-12202489

If you think this problem is limited to the UK, you're sadly mistaken.

"The commercial sexual exploitation of children is a large and growing concern around the world. Every year
thousands of children are coerced, kidnapped or tricked by traffickers or pimps into the sex trade. Even though
commercially sexually exploited children are routinely arrested as prostitutes and charged with prostitution in the
United States, every act of “prostitution” where a child is involved is actually an act of child abuse, rape, and
sexual exploitation."

5. a society today in a world where sexual gratification takes precedence over decency and common sense
people talk about the puritan nation we live in. i think over the last couple decades we have flipped to a nation of sexual gratification taking precedent over all things. the forever need to explore further

10. ????
Apparently, you don't see.

Seabeyond was simply alluding to our societal need to exploit others - anyone, including children - to get our QUICK fix of gratification - sexual or otherwise.

TV go on the fritz? Can't wait to get it repaired - so dump it and buy a new one immediately.

Need cheap "hip" clothing and nic-nacs and cars and do-dahs to keep up with the Joneses? Don't save for it - merely ruin the economy by purchasing cheap Chinese crap that lasts three seconds instead of demanding more American jobs to make the service/product "you just can't live without," except, of course, you could.

Want money? Prostitute little kids or vulnerable young men and women to others who want their sexual desires IMMEDIATELY met without regard for the children or their wives at home or their own children.

This is a result of a "throw away" society - not about porn, per se.

9. K&R- there was a US-wide sweep of organized sex slavery groups late last year...
Edited on Mon Jan-17-11 09:41 AM by old mark
Many of the local groups arrested were using young children, passing them from place to place...The media here remarked on it for a few days, then got back to holiday shopping and Sarah Palin's book...

11. "...sexually exploited children are routinely arrested..."
We can't expect the PoPo to arrest the fine, upstanding members of the community who are using these children for their sexual gratification. That would be socialism.

12. These "symptoms of social illness" are warning us where we are
headed. Meaningful life is about understanding the connections between all things. Many are unable to see those connections.
