awhile back and I have to take a bit of offenses with it.
The documentary was chronicling the child sex tourism industry which is pretty prevalent through some Asian countries. The documentary highlighted one part where a few American volunteer heroes helped Filipino police bust a house where they were pimping out 9 and 10 year old children. Once the pimps were captured and all of the children rounded up, the kids started crying. They were sad to be taken away from their pimps who were selling them to Americans and Euro adult men for sex.
The reason the children started crying: the Philippines isn't a very well developed country and sleeping with men for money was a guaranteed meal as well as preferable to total poverty.
So the little girls were put into state orphanages which lets be honest are total hellholes even in the U.S. The girls will more then likely end up getting sexually abused and have to live in standards worse then when they were kept as sex objects.
Now I hate to be defending child prostitution but what the hell are the volunteers thinking when they go over seas and do stuff like this? The idea of having sex with a child repulses me but at least while prostituting the child enjoyed a better standard of living then they would have otherwise had. Stupid ass volunteers should focus on improving the conditions of the country to make sure that the children won't have to becomes prostitutes rather than disrupt the kids lives and make their conditions worse.
Does anyone else agree with me that cracking down on child brothels should be a peripheral goal and focus should be set to improving the economic/social conditions of countries like the Philippines?
