.... or 13 with a one hour lay-over in NYC.

Just goes to show how close to home this problem still is. Having been sent away to school at an early age I was traumatized enough. I cannot fathom what these children must be going through.

That is profoundly disturbing.

I know harsh economics mean this sort of thing happens, but to read this account makes it too real.

I don't even know what to say to this...

How do you stop this?

$150 for a human life? $10,000?

Hmmmm.... tigga, after all your huffing and puffing about how we don't have anything to say about all the other atrocities going on are you not the pot calling the kettle black? I see nothing posted here on this thread from yourself.....

Surely this must be considered one of the most horrific atrocities going on, especially as it concerns such young children.

Remember that saying about splinters and logs... 'kay bwana?

Modern slavery doesn't interest Tigga or Eva etc.  There's just no benefit to them to fight this particular fight.
