You make it sound like there are houses full of ten year old girls being held captive to be sold on the open market like slaves. Maybe I'm naive but I just don't thinck that is happening in Houston and saying it does doesn't necessarily make it so.
If young girls are being trafficked at ages 10 or 11 that's like still a child...not even a teen yet...most girls that age haven't reached puberty...hence my comment!
There are guys out there in this world, which you might not admit it or not, but they ENJOY having sex with girls that age. They are sick individuals.
I said what I need to say....trafficking in general is horrible and I hope those girls are finally pulled out of it. Originally Posted by Jemma Martin

It's a 4 hour Lifetime movie...about human trafficking going on in other countries...starring Mira Sorvino. And there's another one that is new called The Whistleblower....starring Rachel Weisz. I believe that it's happening. I never thought it'd be happening in the U.S. though. Those movies are based on true stories.
I have no doubt that underage girls are put into compromising situations and forced to do things against their will. Are they being held with a gun to their head while some sweaty old pervert takes advantage of them, to me it's doubtful. I thinck the more common practice is for some smooth talker to take advantage of a girls insecurities and make her believe that she is doing what is best for her and the person she thincks is taking care of her. She has no way to repay him for his kindness so he makes her believe that the one way she can is to give what no one else can. Herself.
Either of the above scenarios is sick and disgusting but writing the headlines and making statements like the first one described doesn't do anyone any good. It has everyone looking for the wrong type of person when the people we should be looking at are the ones who know how to take advantage of a girl in a helpless situation and make her thinck it is her fault that she is in the predicament she is in. It's the predator that can spot a vulnerable girl and make her believe that he loves her and will take care of her if she'll just do this one thing for him....Or maybe it's the guy that is so sick that he believes his own lies.
Granted there are some sick people out there but until I see actual hard evidence of prepubescent girls being abused this way I'm gonna continue to believe that this is nothing more than sensationalism concocted by people who have their own agendas like making sure their non profit's are financially sound and well funded.
Does it strike you as at all strange that this story just happened to come up during sweeps? Originally Posted by boardman
