Now because the mainstream media turned the switch on, we've a swarm of newly adjusted, mother Teressa's? Don't get me wrong, your topic is preferred to the typical "Would you hit it" thread. However this comes off entirely too naive. It's as if Oprah showcased an episode of Blood diamonds, and you made a topic about how "people are killed for our diamonds, stop buying. Sign this guest book to show your support".

Uhhhh, yeah & "sweat shops", sell exercise equipment...until Dateline comes to the rescue.

I can't see how anyone can be oblivious to this subject, requiring the aide of a piece of shit (controlled) show like Dateline. Wake up, of course it happens & sure as shit (unfortunately) no website will stop the bullshit overnight...well actually, may be if you post about it on GFY (such a viral behemoth, forget Dateline itself ), it may have a chance to make it mainstream. Otherwise, no.

Right! So let's just sit back and hope it goes away...or even better let's just pretend it isn't happening. I've been aware of human Trafficking for a LONG time. This show just reminded me how horrible it is and as a mother I can relate. I'm not trying to change the world, but I think awareness is a great start. Am I hoping that posting on GFY will make a difference?...No, but I am hoping that maybe one person will read it and maybe make a difference even if small. We happen to be in an industry that deal with sex and unfortunately sometimes children are involved. That's why ASACP is very active in our industry.
