as i have already said, i spent 8 years working with abused children of all varieties... never once met a victim of child prostitution though... when i suggest that the kind of "general sexual abuse" that Chris is on about is so widespread and nearly impossible to "go after", i am not expressing an opinion... http://canada.justice.gc.ca/en/ps/fm/childafs.html read the section entitled "how widespread is ..." and if anyone cannot see a difference between the varieties of incestuous and "someone known to the child" forms of sexual abuse and what goes on in cambodian brothels, they should read this http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/4038249 law enforcement does nothing to prevent "the vast majority" (Chris's terminology) of sexual abuse cases... in fact, we usually have to wait years or even decades before we even know about its occurence... this is absolutely not the case with child prostitution, child pornography or paedophile rings... law enforcement can be very effective here, which is why targeting foreign paedophiles makes good sense in a place like cambodia... to suggest otherwise is either idiocy or an indirect attempt to shield these people from the law... i suspect in Chris's case its a little bit of both, plus a kind of neurotic resentment of NGOs... anyone who thinks that making such a statement invalidates my opinion is welcome to their opinion... one way or the other, it doesn't change the reality we're discussing... michael I assume it was a paid position you were involved in, therefore you would most likely call yourself a professional. You still undermine all your rhetoric with unfounded personal attacks on Chris. You obviously aren't professional enough to require proof before you make your assertions. Your perception of reality is just that, a single minded attitude that doesn't include or accept any other viewpoints. Your link to sensationalist US commercial TV programs to bolster you own viewpoint doesn't add much to your credibility. John L. |

I suppose part of it comes as it being the foreigner doing the crime.
If some Cambodian guy came to austrailia and started doing it with kids on his holiday and was caught, he would probably get in the papers too. |
