"In all, authorities arrested 345 people ? including
290 adult prostitutes ? during the operation that ended this week.
Hundreds of people have been arrested and
21 children rescued"
"Operation Cross Country caps off five years of similar stings nationwide"
345 people...
minus 290 adult prostitutes...
minus 21 children...
leaving 34 people arrested who were either pimps or johns or drug dealers or in the wrong place at the wrong time...
We hear child prostitution and a number as high as 345 and react with horror. Break down the numbers and you've really got 21 children... some of which may not even have been prostituted... they could have been the children of someone else arrested and as such were taken into custody.
I'm sure some of them were being abused, but it took
5 years of manpower and tax dollars to save 21 kids?!?! There are more than 21 kids being abused and/or raped EVERY SINGLE DAY. How many stories do you hear on a regular basis about kids being horribly abused and even murdered in the overwhelmed and underfunded foster care system?
This is nothing more than another case of the government attacking the sex industry to further their crusade against it.
What I want to know is... where's the "Operation Child Abuse" task force and when are they going to spend 5 years of manpower and tax dollars to save the kids being horrifically abused by the people who are supposed to be caring for them? I want to see 345 abusive foster parents arrested so I can sleep better at night.
