9 girls rescued from India's red light district
Editor's Note: In the recent documentary "Nepal's Stolen Children," CNN followed actress Demi Moore and 2010 CNN Hero of the Year Anuradha Koirala as they try to rescue women and girls from forced prostitution, especially girls trafficked from Nepal into India.
A few days after the documentary aired, Indian police raided a brothel in New Delhi's red light district, rescuing nine girls. Rescue efforts like this are becoming more common in India as police begin to make it a priority.
By Mallika Kapur and Sumnima Udas, CNN
The suspected manager of a New Delhi brothel where police recently rescued several underage girls has been charged with kidnapping, rape and forcing girls into prostitution, a police officer said Tuesday.
One of the girls rescued is 10 years old, said Triveni Acharya, the president of the Mumbai-based Rescue Foundation, an anti-trafficking group that tipped off police.
The 38-year-old suspect has been charged with kidnapping, the kidnapping of minors, forced prostitution, rape and operating a brothel, Station House Officer Surinder Kaur said. Under Indian law, prostitution is legal, but profiting from another person's prostitution is not.
The woman has been jailed under India's Immoral Traffic Prevention Act. Kaur said she could not release the woman's name but described her as an Indian citizen and a former prostitute herself.
Investigators have 90 days to present their case to a court, Kaur said.
Meanwhile, Kaur said she hopes to arrest the brothel's owner soon. Brothel owners are rarely on-site and are typically hard to track down, Acharya said.
Five of the nine girls taken from the brothel have been confirmed to be underage, and tests are pending on the remaining four, Kaur said.
Three are Indian, and the remaining six are from Nepal - the source of a steady supply of sex slaves for the brothels of Delhi and Mumbai, many of whom are forced into prostitution by traffickers.

The Numbers
Great, now they can go to a 5 star hotel for a celebratory dinner and tell each other how wonderful they are.
Meanwhile – there are so very many more kids suffering.
Any fool can find such things in an evening in Mumbai or Delhi!
Get a grip!!! It's a step in the right direction! they saved some girls and in the past few years, scores more.... What is it that you want exactly ?? A perfect world overnight? THIS IS PROGRESS.. Be HAPPY about that.... Cup half empty for you obviously.... I see it as half full in this instance.... I'm happy for those little girls... yes I wish there were more rescued, but it's an entrenched underworld... Not so easy to dig out crime that widespread.
Sad to say some parents have sold their young daughters for money. A man raping a 10 yr old should receive the maximum punishment as he is a rapist and a peophiile. Women over 18 can legally do as they please, as in Las Vegas, it would be their choice. Forcing someone into the sex slave trade is illegal but as stated it's nearly impossible to find the brothel's owner......what will happen....they will find another place to set up "business" and it will continue.
They can't save all the under age girls. but saving some is a start.
Well said Aubrie!
Agreed.
russ and Vince are trolls – just making comments to see how many angry replies they get. They got huge numbers this time. Hard to do but ignore them.
Well said!!!!!!
I have no sympathy for those who choose to hurt young kids, nione at all. Hang em' all
Extreme poverty, Minimal wages and world Top corruption leads to this dismay. Even Pakistan and Bangladesh set free with India but they donot have these problems. Maximum yeild for Aids patientt and equal to whole population of Africa homless and hungry adds to this trouble
Men need sex and sometimes we dont get it and need to.Its like food,going without food for days is unhealthy.Different cultures should not be viewed as our own.As you know,the age of consent is 16 and I am fine with that.Prostitution should be legalized,brothels should be for women over 16 and sex should not be stigmatized.We men need sex and will NEVER live without it no matter how many hurdles society places on us
Yeah, at least someone is doing something about it.
Is this a step in the right direction? This is in the red light district, so there are many brothels doing the same thing; why did the police choose to save the girls from this particular brothel? What did this woman do to piss off the police? And what happens to the girls once they are "saved"? Are they put back on the streets? At this point, they only know how to make a living through prostitution. So unless they are given a safe home, an education, and a chance at escaping prostitution, they weren't "saved" at all, and this is just a big show so that we can temporarily feel good about ourselves.
So you think just because it is just a drop in the bucket that no one should make the effort? Shame on you. We should be praise everyone who combats this evil. We shouldn't be satisfied to stop there, but we should be grateful for each step taken in the right direction.
Amen judy thank the Lord
I like your comment... As the story goes... Once upon a time, there was a wise man who used to go to the ocean to do his writing. He had a habit of walking on the beach before he began his work.
One day, as he was walking along the shore, he looked down the beach and saw a human figure moving like a dancer. He smiled to himself at the thought of someone who would dance to the day, and so, he walked faster to catch up.
As he got closer, he noticed that the figure was that of a young man, and that what he was doing was not dancing at all. The young man was reaching down to the shore, picking up small objects, and throwing them into the ocean.
He came closer still and called out "Good morning! May I ask what it is that you are doing?"
The young man paused, looked up, and replied "Throwing starfish into the ocean."
"I must ask, then, why are you throwing starfish into the ocean?" asked the somewhat startled wise man.
To this, the young man replied, "The sun is up and the tide is going out. If I don't throw them in, they'll die."
Upon hearing this, the wise man commented, "But, young man, do you not realize that there are miles and miles of beach and there are starfish all along every mile? You can't possibly make a difference!"
At this, the young man bent down, picked up yet another starfish, and threw it into the ocean. As it met the water, he said, "It made a difference for that one."
On the dot. People who profit from this and specificaly people who have sex with under aged girls should be publicly shamed and hanged to death. Then you will see how quickly this crime will end. Until the demand side is addressed, there will be always supply.
Also, pass a law to take away the illeagl money that can be used in rehabilitating the rescued girls.
Kathy – beautiful
Sorry, Katy
Russ is right! Saved them from what? Making a decent living without backbreaking hard labor? Sent into what? Being returned to starvation?
Save them from what? Slavery. Rape. Beatings. An early death. How's that for a start?
Let's add no ducation, no freedom, riddled with disease, robbed of a childhood, poverty, filth, degradation, humiliation, torture....
Did you even read the story? There is no mention anywhere of slavery, beatings, or rape. in fact all the girls said they were there voluntarily to make a living, and refused to cooperate with the police. You are creating facts to fit into your political agenda! You don't like prostitution because it makes sex easier to obtain, challenging the traditional life styles of housewives being supported by men.
You call that decent living??? Seriously?? I take it you are part of the scum who attends these brothels. This is not a life for anyone more or less a child. If an adult chooses it then each their own but a child has no say. All because of the perverts out there whether it be male or female are looking for it out of delusional, sick minds. At least 9 were saved and hopefully many more in the future but I can tell you this, the world is changing and unfortunatley the end times are around the corner. Better be prepared people.
Vince.... What about CHILDREN do you not understand??? Are you a pedophile yourself and therefore advocating for this????
I read the article... It plainly says FORCED PROTTITUION and RAPE... I think YOU need to go back and read it again.. you sick F%$#!!
They were forced into the job. It wasn't their choice. Now, they have freedom. An intrinsic part of freedom is hope and possibility. Something all living beings need. "Only 9" is more than 8. And, way more than 0. In fact, 9 is one zillion if YOU are one of the nine. It's a step in the right direction. My respect goes out to all who participated and I hope the case goes well against the kidnapper. Demi, I'm glad you used your star power for positive change in the lives of the less fortunate. Kudos!
Wow Vince. Do you open your mouth and say things like that in real life too? The next time you feel the need to air thoughts like that, be sure to do so in front of a woman–preferably one with daughters of her own. I'm sure I'll read about the results in the news.
Did you not get the part about them being underage–and did you skim over the part about the one who was only ten? And while you're rereading (because by now I'm sure–or hope–that you feel stupid), do some more reading about what happens to prostitutes in developing country–their life expectancy, the violence they live with, and the diseases they both catch and pass on. And then, assuming you're not a pedophile (and I'd prefer to think of you as someone who simply doesn't think before he speaks), ask yourself if you know any preteens who you would relegate to this lifestyle.
@Vince In India, girl's are taken from their homes, or bought/sold by their parents because they don't have any money, and they think that is the only way to make money. Especially when the other option is working in a factory for less than minimum wage. AND the article didn't have to mention rape, beatings, or slavery, we pretty much know that's going on with grown men having sex with 14-16 yr. old girls. Come on! Your comment was from the lowest level of ignorance.
@ Vince – did it ever occur to you that a 10 year old female body is not equipped for s#x???? That the pain would be horrible every single time? That life is unacceptable for anyone, much less children. Period.
If it is such an easy job you do it. You are disgusting! Children are being raped and forced into having sex with disgusting men like you. There is nothing decent about that!
Vince, a life of forced sexual slavery is NOT "a decent life", not by a long shot. Grow UP, get a clue, and get a life.
So Vince, you advocate 10 year old girls selling themselves for sex? Fantastic.
Anyone who thinks this "life" is somehow OK is a sick scumbag who should do the human population a favor by falling on their own sword.
Troll Moar, Vince.
Vince – You are one sick puppy.
I am not even going to waste my time. Vince, you're such a jack**s.
Vince, you're a primitive MORON. "not forced into labour" YES, HOW ACCURATE OF YOU. CONSIDERING EVERY NORMAL CHILD WISHES FOR A LIFE OF BEING ABUSED BY OLDER MEN THAT CAN BE THEIR FATHERS? You're probably some low life potential, if not already "accomplished" pedofile who would pay for these kind of "services" OTHRWISE KNOWN AS CHILD MOLESTATION himself! LOSER GO DIG YOURSELF A HOLE AND PRAY FOR DAYLIGHT
Vince, you are one stupid moron!
I can't even believe you would say this! 😦 Heartbreaking! At 10 I was still playing with Barbie dolls and watching Mr. Rogers neighborhood. Innocence lost. These 10 years old are seeing horrors that as a 34 year old, I have never even come close to seeing – and they live it! Oh please please find some compassion. These are precious children. My heart just aches for them. 😦
I WOULD SAY YOU ARE A SIKKO, BUT THAT IS WHAT YOU WANT. OBVIOUSLY A TROLL LOOKING FOR ATTENTION. WHO ELSE WOULD SAY SOMETHING SO SICK & SO PATHETIC.
Vince, would you be Ok with your 10 year old son being a male prostitute? If yes, then why? If NO, why not?
@mother of 4
No, I hope Vince opens his mouth like that in front of a *father* with daughters. Let's hope he is incapable of having kids himself, too.
Wow, Vince, you're an absolute idiot. It must be a lovely world inside of your head where people always tell the truth and coercion doesn't exist. Can you please educate yourself about rape and then get back to us. I know you think that every woman is clamoring to get a piece of what you got in your pants but it's just simply not true. Prostitution in any country is disturbing because it is ALWAYS perpetuated by issues of gender, race, and class. These women know that if they speak out against their captors loved-ones somewhere will be hurt so they stay quiet and they lie. What they're hoping is that the pain in their face will communicate more to the person asking the questions than the words that they're saying. But then, I guess if you were the one asking the questions then that brothel would still be stealing 10 year old girls who say that "everything is fine".
What? You think these kids keep the money they make?? What world do you live in?? They get nothing in the form of money, it all goes to the pimp or brothel owner.
U need help.
Vince I suggest you read "Infections and Inequalities: The Modern Plagues" by Paul Farmer. Then tell me about how great the life is of GIRLS sold into prostitution! Not only is it a world they can't get out of because they owe so much money from being bought, they are beaten, raped (yes prostitutes can get raped), have back alley abortions from many pregnancies, most also contract STDs and many contract AIDS. Now tell me how this is decent labor?! Why don't you move there and become a prostitute yourself and make a decent living without hard labor?!
I was in a small village in Nepal when a group of mafia thugs came with their guns and tried to kidnap all the girls between the ages of 7 and 12. Vince, you have no idea what you're talking about. My team successfully negotiated their release and I'm happy to say that some of the girls we rescued are still friends of mine today. The thugs were going to take their trophies, rape them and then sell them in Calcutta. Many of the girls are told their families are being held hostage and will be killed if they don't go along. Ggggg if you're such a supporter of prostitution, why don't you go and be one in India? See how you like it. I'd suggest bringing some medication, you'll probably need it within days. Actually, you might want a cyanide pill too.
how can one possibly consider the continuous rape of a child a means of "making a living?". What if these girls were boys? Would subjecting a young boy to rape multiple times a day be a reasonable way to make a living?
Are you kidding??? A ten year old being raped? You think you are doing her a favor by leaving her there? Did you not hear the story about Dreamworld (or whatever they are called) that got exposed yesterday and 75+ arrests of child porn/abuse. There was a chat room that only allowed people to submit videos if it was of children being raped and beaten and crying. Yes, it is worth taking that little girl from being raped daily. WTF?
Dean and Aubrie gave a pretty good summary of what those girls were saved from; Vince, you have no idea what you're talking about. And incidentally, the fact that someone is 18 or older does not mean that a life of sexual bondage is any more "voluntary" than these girls; "Never on a Sunday" was a movie; in real life the sex trade is nothing like that for women (or men for that matter) of any age.
@Vince, suppose your ten year old daughter volunteers for this kind of work, would you support it?
@Vince....where do you live? i hate ....i absolutely hate pedophiles....u must be one based on your comments.......i want to kick your ass.....and then call the cops.... sob
"voluntarily to make a living" HOW CAN A 10 YEAR OLD HUMAN BEING KNOW HOW TO VOLUNTEER?!! KIDS DON'T HAVE TO WORK TO MAKE LIVING.. IT'S THEIR PARENTS' JOB! THEIR JOB IS TO HAVE FUN, TO PLAY, TO CLIMB TREES, TO LEARN.... NOT TO HAVE SEX (AND THEY WERE FORCED TO DO IT). ANYWAYS VINCE.. YOU'RE SICK SELFISH INHUMAN PSYCHO...
vince i think you need to tell us where you live , i believe the children in your area are in grave danger from you
O Vince, you little troll...
If you feel that not enough is being done there are several organizations that will gladly accept your time and/or money and see that more children are helped. Stop btching. Make a difference.
that's right Dean! you read my mind!
You read my mind. At least 9 girls have been saved. Plenty more to be done. If people wanna help, they need to stop talking about it and do it.
Maybe you could list some of the organizations (and I do not say that sarcastically)
its sick wat people do these day the should be hung!!!!!!
@Lance – Seriously dude – you should shut up if you dont know what you are talking about. Yes India is filthy , there is lack of education and yes there are starving homeless people in mumbai, but isnt that true for any big city? Lets see – New York – Check!!!! London – Check!!! Every place has its goods and its evils, no place is perfect. Child prostitution is a problem in India and it is also a significant problem through out the world!!! And as this article proves Indians are doing something about it – it may be little but then it is still progress!!! And it is not just the wealthy and the middle class that go to the west – it is also the poor (on scholarships for education and migrant jobs) and the west is not the only place – we also go to the east (aka singapore and australia) – everyone does the best they can to improve their lives and that of their children and families. What have you ever done for the poor and homeless in your country?? You are the one who is a SICKO and from your talks/thoughts a racist!!!
What's truly heartbreaking is that it takes national exposure via a well-publicized documentary to get the Indian government to act, otherwise it appears they can't be bothered. It's outrageous. Equally outrageous are the off-hand remarks from other posters about "making a living." For the love of God, many of these people are CHILDREN.
well russ if nine girls have been saved i say well done every effort from every source is a positive move in the right direction these poor girls being raped they cant know what the hell is going on .
I am thankful they were rescued. It is appauling that prostitution is legal in areas there and involving such young girls/boys. This is a sad statement of how low our societies have fallen...its about time men stop being perverts and regarding nothing – the worth of a woman soul, but their own satisfaction. I reach out to those women and girls who have been caught in this web of human trafficking..There is HOPE:http://stephaniesprayercorner.blogspot.com/
Russ must have been to India. It is a crap hole. I guess the rescued girls will now go on unemployment, so they can feed themselves. In countries like India, Thailand, and Burma prostitution is often the only game in town; of course the USA will rescue nine girls and solve the issue – NOT. This is just part of the "holier than thou" attitude of a Christian nation run by morons who know nothing of how other cultures live. Whores have been big business for thousands of years, especially for guys who marry spoiled, shallow, clinging, worthless American girls. Every town in the US has a house of ill repute or at least a well know address where you can get laid for a few bucks without having to disturb your petty, fat, bitchy American wife. A friend married a Thai woman who was attending college here in California; hot, smart, petite, intelligent, and a sex goddess – notice it is a Thai woman not an American bitch.
Hey BRBnumnut, where did it say it was the USA that rescued the kids. It was a Mumbai Rescue Foundation, thats in India if your to slow to pick that up. Keep trying to stir the pot, its morons like you that are the part of the problem.
I sense bitterness in this post. Maybe you were once a pig and got dumped by one of those "fat American b*tches?" Maybe you ARE a pig?
Shame on you.
BRB, your bitterness must come from being rejected by a woman, probably any woman with common sense. Gosh, I wonder why....could it be your loser attitude, your inability to please a woman or perhaps your overall nasty way of relating to human beings of any kind? I don't care if prostitution of kidnapped children is a cultural thing – it's wrong. I'd venture it's men who think it's cultural, not the ruined children. As has been mentioned, the United States had nothing to do with this – it's a Mumbai group that rescued them.
I would suggest some therapy for your misogynistic attitude and your anger problems, followed by an education.
Whatsa matter buddy, can't get laid? No wonder.
With your disgusting, low life attitude... I wouldn't bone you either. You may do better with women if you acted a little more human instead of the dog you posted as....
Its a sad situation and yes they should take care of their own.yet they come to this country and take all our jobs with H1B visa.
I think what he meant to say is that foreign women outclass their American counterparts and make American men happier. And on that count, he's completely right.
I suggest you might have a more luck in this area if you were a nicer person, a better person. women in general don't like people who think the way you posted. That might have something to do with your lack in your life.
@isabella.
That is surely true but don't forget it isn't just female infanticide by a few, it is very common in india to kill new borns by SELECTIVE infanticide as well by finding out that it is a female in a woman's womb and performing selective abortion against a female child. It is sad!!! India must end it now or we must pose a sanction on it.
Damn, Meena put you in your place.
Hello Lance..
Here are some of the facts... US has about 12% of the people under proverty... and in recent years it is growing very rapidly.... India on the other hand have its proverty rate reduced to about 25% compared to what it used to be..
Talking about Prositution... can you please google with some special keyword and see how many sites you see that is based in USA vs India... you should note that 90% of the sites are from USA and about 20% of them are child pross..
Above all... more than 95% of the India's have sex with one man or women compared to 3, 4, 5 or 6 ....in some west country u r more particular
Clean your thrash before you talk about other countries... remember ... there are a growing number of outsiders working in India too...
lance your ignorance is bliss you have no idea of the hardships these people face day in and day out , name another race that is smarter then indians?? they come here to be doctors and scientists and hold phd's do youhave a phd?? i didntthink so you probably have a highschool education, these people are intelligent and hard workers name a dumb indian i bet you cant why?? because there arent any , go visit india and see for your self what they are dealing with while you sit infront of your pc and pass judgment on a people u have no idea about .do they come here to america and drain our system?? no they dont they actually add to the economy not drain it so go back to your little box of a world and stay there where it is safe you moron
@Isabella – If you dress up properly "you know in Rome do as Romans do" ? you will be just fine. If you cant really tolerate, you have option of going to other countries.
9 saved in a country of 1.2 billion. I'm sure there's millions more there.
So, what have you done? Why does it bother you what dinner they eat if they are actually doing something during the day?
So you are a better person to be just sitting there typing snidey comments and doing NOTHING? Whatever.
anyhow,it'is a good news for these underages who were forced to prostitution , they can choose their lives by their own, and also ,they will live a normal life . but ,we should realize that the fact is far from optimistic as we see ,there are still a lot of girls and women suffering from sex slavery,we should join our efforts together to save them....
Please know what you are talking about before you type anything out. The untouchables are the lowest level in the cast system, the rat catchers, ones who deal with the dead. Everything you typed is nonsense and ignorant.
It is GREAT to see some action against this crime, but the numbers of children ( estimated by CNN in their last article ) 10 to 30 million around the world make the one child brothel here and there a token to appease those of us who are outraged by the practice. The measure of a people is how they treat their young and elderly. Humanity falls far short on both counts. ( The policies of our governments the world wide sure do) The amount of money, as per INTERPOL at 28 billion US dollars a year, the graft and un-written policies to leave such operations alone. The non reporting of details ( 60 to 80 thousand girls brought INTO the US every year ) again a statistic from Interpol. Translate to a major change in international policy, and a major step up in International enforcement needed if this tragic practice is to be shut down......
Sometimes good things do emerge from awful things. This case happens to appear to be a bad thing that emerges worse things.
Lance and Isabella,
you are very selective on your observation. Lance you have already been answered by Chris and he has tried his level best to educate yo on poverty. Now Isabella, your allegations are somewhat true, but your analysis of things is purely due to ignorance or lack of education may be. If Indian men have never seen girls, then tell me why porno materials are so popular in USA, and why Americans rape almost everyday? People travel to other countries to educate themselves, but you came back with a comparison chart with USA. The things you did not see has driven India so far preserving its 5,000+ years culture. And, you are comparing with a 300+ years mixed culture !!!
That tells me that you have not seen higher education classes in US, and obviously comments like yours are a high probability from people with your level of intellect !!!
So next time if you visit India, to see the stuff you could not on your last visit. If not then stay within your current location and enjoy your life, but keep it safe from rapists, murderers, muggers and drug addicts!!!
Good luck !!!
You have to be a Paki. Right? Everything you have said you have pulled it from your Ramadan starving a**
So, if you're dying of cancer should we not help you because there are hundreds of thousands of others in the same situation?
What about countries where 12% people are jobless and 6 %
home less and the the GOVT is shit scared of even taxing 10 % of the richest of the riches in the world?
Agreed!
Have to agree with Russ. Nine girls??? Could India try ANY less? Saving one is a blessing but touting nine is an insult to the thousands around the world still in captivity. The whole thing is sickening and governments do so little because they do not care. It's time to put travel and economic sanctions on these countries until they take it seriously. Maybe then we can stop these sick perverts.
@Lance and Isabella – Oh btw today CNN has an article out 'International online child pornography busted' or '72 charged in child pornography ring' – It appears that this ring was based out of Louisiana – wonder why , especially since american society is so nice, accepting and without flaws!!! Check your backyard the next time you decide to complain about our backyard!!!
End the market and stop purchasing prostitute services along with drugs and you'll end most of the human slave traffic in Asia and the horrendous drug lord death toll in Mexico. If you are visiting prostitutes or buying illegal drugs you an accessory to slave traffic and murder.
You don't have to get a grip because most of these salvation acts are just a pat on the back. With all of India's technological growth, they are still one of the poorest countries in the world. Oprah Winfrey did a show how the men of Europe and America swarm this country looking for little girls and boys. Yes, a lot of the parents do sell their children but I'm sure they do not know the type of suffering they are going to endure. This is a cruel world and children are at the brunt of it.
Lance, I am a New Yorker, and if I didn't read your post carefully, I would've thought you are describing good ol' U.S. of A.
Kaka, factually, you are correct, but that was over 100 years ago. Many of the systems you describe have been wiped out over the years in favor of the new democracy that is being violently introduced throughout that part of the Earth, and including many parts of the Middle East. Who knows what future is best for people, and who is to blame?
What gets to me is that our generation and future generations are somehow expected to support the new ways of life being put to the test with very little money, in all of those countries including our own, and perhaps even teach democratic lifestyles to children such as those who are now free of their adult prisons. In my opinion, there is no real set of plans yet, for their economic futures as adults. And besides, unfortunately, there are people who believe, justifiably, that the same democratic lifestyles that created the rescue will ultimately lead people towards the West, where those lifestyles secretly originated, resulting in a vicious cycle. What is business, anyway?
We should, if at all possible, correct the initial interpretations here in the West as what constitutes "trade policy" in favor of answering what it is that we really trade in, and ways to improve our conscientious attitudes about how to prevent certain "human products" from being "overmarginalized" (so says my wife). In my own view, coming from the West, the maintaining and creation (like Brahma and Vishnu, "gods" of maintenance and creation originating from India among the Hindu people) of high-paying jobs there could be a new top priority, among India's "new tech-savvy generation of businesspeople" when it comes to what is considered "progress" civilization-wise, for the benefit of future generations of India's Earth-concerned people. (Does that sound too "green"? It wasn't really meant to).
In fact, I would also like to help, businesswise, in my own country, but, I would need large amounts of pre- and capital funding for such a series of projects, and, perhaps better attention from, and a more positive reception towards the common market for someone who's country is at an international crossroads, reputation-wise. (USA).
This is the true face of India , how disgusting .. can't believe they wanna be a superpower with this happening at home .
you p** talking about super power?
even US id super power ..what happened in tx. so called priest married young kids..it was gods will.
Sick ppl are every where don't try blaming
First of all, I'm Indian, and it's not a bad place. There are a lot of really progressive, forward-thinking people in India who are APPALLED by such things. Please don't generalize the views of an entire country that way. Yes, poverty is rampant and in lots of places women's rights are an issue. However, you're talking about an extremely religiously, politically and socially diverse place, more so than most people could possibly understand.
@ Lance: shut up you ignorant fool
You'd think if reporters and photographers can get their story and their pics then the police and other authorities where to look for child prostitutes being held against their will. Oh yeah were talking about Indians about as bright as their neighbors the Pakistanis.
@kaka – WOW!!! you are not just ignorant, but also insolent and a complete narcissist at that – That combination is a really tough find buddy!!! First – the entire breakdown of indian caste system you gave – was SURPRISE – INCORRECT!!!! Secondly – Your definition of Sati i.e. The wife being killed off when the husband dies is SURPRISE incorrect and uneducated!!!
So let me try to eductae you on Indian Culture –
Indian women in the olden ages were so loyal to their husbands that they believed that when the husband died – they should go with him – so as to be united again with him in his next life. I guess this could/would not be understood by you – cause to most people outside of the Indian culture – marriage is a joke – they cant live together in one life, leave alone pray about living together forever!!! Yes this practise did turn evil – when some people pushed the widows to die along with their husbands – against their wishes, but that was India – a century ago. This is no longer a practiced now just like 'Segregation is no longer practiced in US'. Oh and btw – the caste system in India was not that different from the caste system in the west – i.e. Discrimination on the basis of race – So come out anytime you want from under that rock to live in the real world!!!
@ExaltedMan
Dude, there are sick puppies in every community and I am not trying to downplay the superficial "holier than thou" attitude of some people on this board..Infact, it is exactly what I am trying to divulge the people here from..
Prostitution is a disease that knows no boundaries but is prevalent in one society more than the others. Not because the society permits the transgression but maybe its too big to control.
It's a step in the right direction, they need to do more to protect the young (boys and girls).
Lance,
You might be right that India got poor people, but let me tell you that America is getting there too.If government will stop paying unemployment and social securities than you will see more homeless and beggar on street and on every parking lot. Don't boast of your country you will see the same in near future. I am not against any country but it can happen to anyone, nothing is permanent in this world.
men are pigs to go there and have sex with children PIGS
There are many kids suffering and i support world vision
saving one life is better than saving none...happy that those girls got out alive. God knows the future they would have had staying in a place like that
@sadie I understand the dollar value is declining..but you could have shelled a few more bucks to stay at a clean nice place.
@ Indy...I would rather have had a few sexual partners than to be sexually repressed. Virginity is of no value. What are you going to do when you are married and you don't know what to do on your wedding night? What are you going to do if you marry the person of your dreams and you find out you aren't sexually compatible with each other? What are you going to do if you get married and can't orgasm because you don't even know what you like.....It is good to touch yourself and test drive the car before buying so to speak. Maybe you should touch yourself and you wouldn't be so uptight.
Ok, so you're saying they should have just let these girls stay in the brothel because others are suffering?? What a strange post.
ya dude...its 5000 yrs old.
no F. 300 years.
russ your a bonehead at least they are doing something, what are you doing
TO ISA , You are wrong to say that Bangladesh and Pakistan donot have Prostitution. This problem exist in every country rich or poor. The world's oldest trade exist everywhere in some contries legally others illegally. In asian terms this issue is india is still minor compare to other countries in the region like Thailand , Combodia,Vietnam, Laos, Indonesia, Malaysia , Macau and Hong Kong.
Just FYI – none of the people who rescued these girls stayed in a 5 star hotel before, during or after the rescue. No idea where you got such a crazy idea.
Celebrity Newsmakers...This news is on everyday, Indian police do this routinely..
Which is why prostitution should be legalized.
Not with minors
Timmons,
It is legal in India, just like the article said. Another person just can't profit from it. And it's not legal for children.
Even though some feel it's just a drop in the bucket to those 9 children I'm sure it meant the world.
there would still be an underground demand / supply of little girls for sicko's to rape.
Possibly prostitution should be legalized but that is totally irrelevant to this situation.
It's not a man's need for sex it's a perv's need for sex.
Looks like an 'abcd' is desperate for random news?
"We concentrate on minor girls because the trafficking issue is about minor girls only. "
Ummm... NO!
Trafficking is victimizing adults as well as minors, and myths like the one above are part of the reason why thousands of women being held against their will every day and trafficking is huge business for organized crime.
CLEARLY an uneducated moron, with the brain capcity and compassion of a slug. In your case, it's called denial.. It's a mental illness along with all your other presenting symptoms... PLEASE go get some help.
San Diego. Is that the best you can do?? LOL!!! couldn't be further from the truth... but you're so pathetic... Everyone on here is laughing at you... Don't you realize that?? You're treated like crap because you act like crap and ARE crap... Simple equation really.. don't feel sorry for you though... Wallow in your misery.. You've obviously earned it.
Actually you couldn't be more wrong. Human and sex trafficking is a huge problem in this world and the US. These women and girls are often manipulated into the life and it is nearly impossible to get out. Eastern Europe is notorious for this as is India. And the problem does exist in the US too. Look into Texas human trafficking task forces they have on state and municipal levels. Do some homework before you start flowing bs from your fingertips.
Thank you CNN for continuing to make sure this tragic problem gets the attention it so desperately needs.
this is a big issue all over the world specially in the ex-soviet block
How many of those brothel's owners do you figure were women? Quite a few, I figure.
What a great attitude. Let's blame all of the world's problems on men. And women say we're narrow minded? Idiot. I hope for the sake of the world you're sterile.
Once they rescue the girls from the brothel, what do they do with them? Send them to an orphanage or foster care, or what?
They will go on food stamps, welfare, and ADC payments – whoops I forgot we are in India not the US welfare state.
Sounds like you need to move. It appears the women in America don't like you very much – to make you so bitter.
9 are rescued but many times more are forced to prostitution in India. This country has world's highest number of AIDS patients.... what a sick society.
haha
just because someone speaks the truth does not make them "paki". i find that to be the most common response coming from an indian of your type to someone that says anything against your nation. without giving it thought you accuse them of being "paki" ! lol it's hilarious how you both look identical and yet fight like uncivilized and immature babies.
Ain't it great.
India, you constantly post anti American crap all over CNN. Why don't you do a little research before you open your mouth? India is actually one of the worst places in the world for not only prostitution but child prostitution! Estimates are that about 1.2 million children are being used as prostitutes in India! There are approximately 20 million sex workers in India alone. Prostitution is also legal in India. In the U.S. it is illegal in all but one state. The U.S. may lead in a lot of things, but this isn't one of them. Google is your friend.
@IndiaRocks I wondered if you would read this story. The other day you were on the web insisting that the USA is horrible and insinuating that India is dreamland. Well, I guess India is not heaven afterall. There is a huge market in India for child prostitutes. India also has the 3rd highest rate of HIV infection in the world. The country still practices the caste system–while they pretend
not to. Many of the cities are filthy. Dead animals float in the rivers. Cows are evidently more sacred than people. Of course Western countries have their problems, but you can be sure that most everyday people would love to get out of India and live in the West. You can rave all you want against the USA and I'm sure you will–but your raving will not change that fact that on the whole, India has more filthy living conditions per square mile, more disease and more families living in poverty than the US.
Your love of your country is admirable, but don't let it cloud your thinking.
Let me guess, you're a paki? or a chinese troll?
Yes, India has the highest total amount of people with aids, but on a per capita basis, India has a low number, lower than countries like USA
gud jim nice reply . I appreciate it.
I commend those who have made this deplorable business of ending human trafficking their mission. We take for granted our lives and forget about those that are suffering all over the world at the hands of savage people. Think of the torment that these children and women face every day and say a prayer for them that this cruelty will end.
Pimps/brothels should be given 2 warnings: the first a broken jaw and the second a 9mm to the head.
Its beginning of perhaps a new change of attitudes from indian authorities,thats going to combat this ever increasing sexual exploitation in India.If you happen to follow any daily newspapers of India,you'll come to know how horrifying existence of a female person can be,living in any part of India,as the country itself is messed up with multiple problems from all directions.Still,lack of fairness and accountability from the top government officials in India,in their present corruption continued saga,has allowed criminals of all sorts to flourish,with ever increasing
violent crimes against females of any age,for the criminals know they can always manage to slip between the justice systems.The system system is a total joke,filled with suspicious judges and lawyers,each only concerned
with representing a "good show",as suppose to handing out death sentences for all sexual crimes.If you ever wanted to know what a real hypocrisy feels and looks like,you only have to learn more about "India's system of managing itself".The task of bettering their Indian society is immense,so hopefully the rest of authorities in India,will start making some really urgent changes to the severity of the punishments handed down to the all criminals in India.
The authorities have to first clean themselves because it is usually the people in the position of responsibility and power who do the most damage to the Indian society not the petty criminal in the street. These authorities must be ruled with an iron fist before the Indian society can begin to clean itself up.
It is a statistical fact that women are more abusive to children than men. Boys however are not taught to report sexual abuse by women and do not have access to the resources provided to young abused women.
On what planet? Please site source.
Actually, it's the other way around..Men are statistically more abusive, especially if the child is female for sexual abuse or not of genetic relation (male, physical abuse) (ie stepfather, family friend).
Ok that one I have to comment on: I am a physician and a psychiatrist and I can tell you for sure that men are far far more likely to sexually abuse children than women. Sorry.
India is making significant progress in the area of women's rights. Kudos to the people who are making a difference. Now go root out corruption from this land of sages and saints. The society must shun the people who are tainted with corruption, shame them, belittle them, hold them accountable, and punish them. The biggest of these despicable thieves happen to be in politics.
No they are not. What is your proof? My proof is that the caste system still exists. Why does the U.N. sit still about that?
You are truly delusional..... There will always be a man that wants it NOW, and a woman who will turn him down or say no. There will always be sickos that like it better with children..... There will always be the warped individuals that get off to control and torture for grins and giggles...... there will always be a market for a stolen virginity..... there will always be a religion that frowns on sex, so it has to be conducted in secret....... there will always be vile people who do what they do just because they can........ Wear rose colored glasses much?
How many of ur terrorist family has been killed by drones in ur terrorist infested Swat. Ur Islamic cult do u know is the worlds biggest cause of terrorism
@Vince – WOW what ideologies!!! So according to you – if you give a man what he wants all the time then his needs will subside!!! You are not just delusional I think you are sick. Why should a woman comply with the man's needs. She should be able to choose what she wants when she wants. Stop treating women as things and trophies you in-adequate narcissist fool
Well said.
This is so heartbreaking...imagine your 10 year old. They should be innocent of this, and playing with other children. Poor kids. These pimps should get the death penalty....they will pay one way or another.
They should be punished with long term jail sentences. Rampen curruption in India is hampering the economic conditions of citizens. When govt. can buy a dubble bed for Rs. 70,000( USD 1555) for "Common Wealth Games" which costs in retail shops at Rs. 3000 , then what more can be said.
Women who are raped should have the legal right to kill those who rape them. They should also be awarded any assets owned by the rapist. BBC did a report some years ago and concluded that the sex slave industry is thriving at over 20 billion dollars per year. Some powerful super rich people are involved in this and that is one of the main reasons that the world "authorities" ignore it for the most part. Legalizing prostitution would have similar effects as those of legalizing drugs – both would be very sensible moves but would significantly reduce the income of some multi-millionaires & billionaires, who are so terribly F'd up that they can't get enough money.
I concur, but you may defect when i tell you that "killing the rapist" is inherrent in the Sharia law unless the woman choses to forgive:
"The punishment for rape in Islam is same as the punishment for zina, which is stoning if the perpetrator is married, and one hundred lashes and banishment for one year if he is not married.
Some scholars also say that he is required to pay a mahr to the woman."
The world's societies have compromised their moral standards so much all in the name of 'human rights'. And these are some of the after-shocks we hv to live with. Let's go back to the basics!
clearly this is a terrible, terrible thing, but i don't think its fair for you to lump the entire male population in with these johns. i mean its not like all men are governed by their genitals. sounds like YOU have a problem with MEN.
They should also realize how many men have precious daughters and are working to save these women and girls....their lives are on the line.....many human traffickers are global and deadly serious. It's comparable to stealing 6 tons of a dealers cocaine!!!! Not a healthy occupation, God bless them.
Prostitution is not legal in India jack asses. Do not know where you read that. I would suggest to check it out by turning in to the police by accepting that you paid money for sex and see what the do.
prostitution is definitely legal in america. las vegas is not the only place. san fernando valley, california has the largest p0rno industry in the whole world...and according to larry flint, 10000 (yes 4 zeros) american college girls act in p0rn movies every year to make money, not to mention strip clubs and 'escort' services. america is the mother of all prostitutes.
I know, aren't we AWESOME
Isn't child prostitution illegal though?
This is sacrilage... Something needs to be done and fast so as to save this innocent children.
Last time I checked, sex (among consenting adults) was free and available to all. Is there some fee you're paying that the rest of us aren't?
I'm glad they shut down the brothel but what about the bordello and the bawdy house? It's time that a massive bulldozer extracted all these young hussies and trollops and move them all to northern South Dakota where they can learn proper homemaking techniques.
So unfortunate but so true.
India needs to END FEMALE INFANTICIDE to curb such atrocities against women. Every year in India according to reports, atleast 2 million baby girls are killed because they are not wanted by their family. At this rate there will be no girls left in the nation and there were be more brothels sprawling across India. The Female Infanticide so prevalent in India is possibly due to the nature of Hindu traditions of the "Dowry system" where by the family of a female has to give money to to the groom's family in order that he may marry her. Such a pathetic system!
China has the same problem, there will eventually be an overabundance of males and not enough females. Studies predicted border raids to capture females but that's a bit Hollywood, reality is parents selling unwanted females into sex slavery. But that still does not address the familial problem – who will these males marry to form families if all the females are taken? Who will take care of them in old age? Not the state – their custom is that families take care of the elderly if they can but no families mean no help when the extra males get old. That could lead to a type of warfare.
Thats shocking.I woldnt blame it on their parents cos once you are poor and the authorities are not helping .
prophet Mohmad married a 6 year old and work hard on her 3 years. A girl was born.
Find some other hind (lie) to spew your hinduism (BS), subject is hinduism (criminality) against women in hindsered land called India and their way of life in hinduism (criminality), hindu (ignorent).
yakobi ur a big time katwa(torn off penis) and shit eater(muslim terrorist)
Poverty. These girls will be back in brothel in a year. Tack them ! Do not ask about my Swiss bank account. It is personal.
Some will become mistresses of the officers who conducted the raid.
I wonder where @IndiaRocks is.....hmmmm
If the police want to find the brothel owner, follow the money! The manager has to give the earnings to someone or deposit it. The police in some areas are part of the problem, being paid off to look the other way. More than likely the girls parents sold them into slavery – females are like dust in that part of the world. This is a good heads up to those who want to legalize prostitution in America – even when it's legal there are still too many problems. I bet none of the "johns" will face any inquiry. Too many millions of people sliding through life in dire poverty.
Shame on you again.
Oh! My God,this shows the end of the world. Because y a blood brother make that deal to his own sister?
It is not only poverty but also weaknes of faith and humanity has lost.
Fine example of hinduism (crimnality) of hindus (crimnals), woman is not a person but less than a cow in hindu (racism) way of life.
To those responsible, thank you for saving these nine children. It is a small gesture, but it is a step in the correct direction overall. These girls can be educated and be of benefit for the greater good of their society. It is never a child's fault for the harm that has become them at the hands of pedophiles.
As for the pedophiles: may your genitalia get leprosy and fall off.
Shame on these Indians for treating these underage girls like trash. Typical of hindu culture based on a class system dehumanizing humans. Coupled with hot climate, plenty of garam masala in food, easily available drugs, poverty that makes sex a popular and inexpensive form of pastime/entertainment the prostition business is on steroids in India. This is a sign of a nation on the decline and spent rather than rising. Shame on you again.....India.
Every one need to work togather to eliminalte hinduism (crimnality) from the face of earth and drain hindered land called India of hind (filth) for good of humanity along with pot head sanatans (crimnal racist) man gods to achieve human equality for the inhabtants.
Let us patiently wait and see who is going down.
India is the worst country for girls and young women. Its terrible that one of the most tech savy countries is worse for women then any arab country. Goggle sex trafficing and prostitution in India. Cast system alive and flourishing. One major cause is over population. China is the only country facing this issue head on. India needs a one child policy as does the USA. Want a followup story see what happens to the rescued nine and the arrested brothel owner. India does not inforce these laws. Guy will be out of jail and have his brothel open for business as fast as you can say "girls everywhere are in constant danger".
The begining of your religion ..adam and eve iteself are incest....and their children marry each other to produce entire humanity...does yoru religon accepts brother and sister of same parents to marry and sex with each other ?
Yay, finally I see a visible effort to change this social construction. But my concern is this...where are they being "rescued"? Is there a women's shelter provided? Mumbai is progressive and I know that this could be among the plans, but is it definite for these 9 girls? It's easy to say and possibly even do the "rescue" itself and I completely commend that – but these girls are only rescued when they are provided food, water, shelter, and most importantly, an opportunity to eventually become self-sufficient, via education or a job contributing to the main society...I hope that's in Demi Moore's and Anuradha Koirala's plans!
Prostitution should not be legalized. Castration should be legalized for men who pay to violate a young childern. That will cure the world of doggish men with instatiable sex drives! A man that has to pay for sex is pathetic.
Amen.
Worldwide not only India.
Candidates for the next out sourced call center.
Legal prostitution would be considered intolerable by the same people who find legal abortion intolerable, namely the religious nuts who think everybody's sex life is their business.
The travesty of human traficking for sex trade will continue until we view each person as one created by God and of inestimable worth. I am writing this from an ex-Soviet country where my husband and I are adopting a teenager who is aging out of the orphanage and has few options other that the streets. I am way out of my comfort zone, but I want this girl to have a hope and a future. And yes, she is only one, but I pray it will make a difference in her life.
CNN, again you've made this into a gender thing. All of a sudden little boys can work in squalid pitiful conditions, be abused, smashed in the face all day long. But it is the little girl that CNNs sole focus in on.
For these girls, each other(not being alone) may be the only consolation. I wonder what they think, what they feel. Everyone in India needs Christian education, not the stupid Hindu belief in fate.
For these girls, each other(not being alone) may be the only con-so-lation. I wonder what they think, what they feel. Everyone in India needs Christian education, not the stupid Hindu belief in fate.
I think the untouchables are of the lowest caste... and the highest caste, (the priests) are called brahmans.
"Five of the nine girls taken from the brothel have been confirmed to be underage, and tests are pending on the remaining four, Kaur said."
What, are they going to cut the girls in half and count the rings?
And if men could control themselves, and respected women's opinions and desires, maybe there wouldn'g be global over population and millions of unwanted children..... You are truly a very sick individual.... If you're not receiving mental health assistance, I suggest you do so....
Have you ever noticed how you never see an actual case of forced, slaved prostitution in your own neighborhood or city? It is always demonstated as this massive issue.....but somewhere far away that you cannot verify.
And have you noticed that when a particular news sources gets on the war path of these issues that you never see it on the others news outlets at the same time?
Careful...insights like yours will get you snuffed out by the secret police in no time.
Also, your description made me think of the stories of religious miracles. Apparently, they happen all the time, but always "somewhere else."
9 saved, 10 million more to go.
Nice story by cnn but we shouldn’t just point fingers at india and say look what those people do. Prostitution and child prostitution is a global problem not just an Indian problem.
Also,
Most people routinely fail to recognize anything positive taking place in india. How about some new stories about the anti corruption bill being passed because of the hard work put in by a retired army man in his late 70’s. stories about India’s youth which has more honor students that the United states has students. How about reporting the terror taking place in the mountains of Kashmir and what india is doing about it. lets focus on the positives as well please.
10 years old? that is abolutely disgusting and heartbreaking! What is wrong with people!! Gross!!!!
Perhaps someday men will wake up to a world where the women are all gone. Period. Then maybe they will realize the value of women; when they are gone. Then all the men can rape and beat up each other, instead of abusing the opposite sex all the time. All I ever see are stories about female genital mutilation, husbands killing wives, boyfriends killing girlfriends, men raping girls, honor killings of women, and the list goes on. When the women are all gone, then what will the men do?
What a sick world we live in. Child rapists should be killed with no questions asked.
What about Adam and eve ? if christianity says they are first man and woman on earth..how could their children marry each other and prouduce entire humanity...? is it not incest...Correct your religion first before commenting on hinduism...
Relgion is man made...no profet is a woman in this world...only in hinduism you find woman who are also part of Vedas Authors.
Anyways...religion is no where connected to prostitution. its purely a social evil in all societies...
at lease we have woman president and primeminster in past...you US never had a woman in top post...
this shows how we are progressing in women's rights.
Well the budget deal is made so CNN is back beating the drums in the War on Sex. But, 10 years old is far too young to be into this....willing or forced. The problem with CNN's definition, and the federal govt's definition, of trafficking is that it does NOT require the elements of force or restraint to meet the definition. Because of this, they make it out to be a huge problem when it is not. Very few cases actually involve force or underage girls. That is not to say it is not a problem because these girls are far too young, but sensationalizing every case of prostitution into slavery or trafficking is misleading and deceptive. Do you opponents of my view point think you can understand that or will you respond with vile comments from a black or white perspective?

Everyone says their religion is the best and correct religion. Everyone says their religion is one of good values and morals, yet these same religions tell you to kill and die for your religion. Some religions even convince their people to kill innocent people. Some religions teach you to suppress your women and use them like tools. Some religions teach you that s.e.x with women is for procreation only yet s.e.x with another man or worse, a young boy, is OK? More wars have been started over religion than any other reason. Religion is bull s.h.i.t. Grow up and start taking charge of your own life. Stop looking to blame others or blame the "evil one". Take responsibility for your own life and your own actions. This goes out to all religions. You people need to take a close look at yourselves before you throw any more stones. Your religion teaches you to be tolerant yet you are the first to judge. Your religions teach you to be hospitable and caring yet you’re the first to hurt. Religion is a manmade tool used to control you.
Women think men's natural instincts are all criminal, but men are supposed to embrace thier irrational instincts as natural and acceptable. Not always true. How many mothers have we seen murder thier kids lately? Casey Anthony was not the only one.
dude its the other case also ..:-)
They smelled like fish anyway.
Another female-hating comment that is not funny. Do men think they smell good when they haven't washed? Think again.
no one in India driks cows urine...it is indirectly consumed in the form of medicines...during illeness. It is one of the ingredient in few ayurvedic adn sidda medicine.
Remember...now you guys come to treat in india with these medicines that cant be treated with your highly researched and ultra modern facilities.
I protest the rescuing of the girl. Man it is just govt. intervention in free flow of goods and services. This is what happens when you let govt. to take care of things. It is all Obama's fault. ...
P.S. Ignore my comments, I have been watching Fox news lately and it has messed up my mind.
This is all cultural - the boys are seen as the "wealth" of the family - they carry on the family name and family bloodline
It is like that in many primitive cultures.
Which is probably why you won't see the end of selective abortions, as somebody aptly termed it. A shame.

Now how about rescuing some girls from a brothel in USA and making that a top story.
untouchablity is not advocated in Hinduism...it is the corrupt practise of soem priests which spread like a disesase. Now there is no untouchability in India. its a crime there.
Hinduism in its history never had the concept of slaves. atelast Islam and christian rulers ...taking people as slaves is acceptable. Hindusim has the concept of girl choosing her partner 'Swayam vara' among the contestants to be her husband . I dont think you find such concept in any religion.
India was once a rich country every european dreamt to come. it was looted with constant invasions from muslim and tyranny british rulers
Alarmist story.
This has been going on for thousands of years around the globe.
How is this a news story today?
Next on CNN: Tornadoes can kill!
Slavery was abolished in the US in 1867 and slavery in africa was only abolished in he 1950's? not sure but and serfdom ended after 1900 okay
prostitution is legal in India..it's 'slavery' that is illegal..these young girls were kidnapped and force to work for free. the greed of capitalism..only way this typ of crime can go on without fear of prosecution is the police in India or corrupt and paid off. Punishment should be -death sentence ---for recruitin and force 'slavery' of underage girls under 18 or anyone forced into this 'slavery' it's no the act that is illegal it's the forcing these girls or women to work for free for the pimps who ripoff them off and abusing their 'employees' bad working conditions etc.
dude prostitution is not leagal in India.
sex 'SLAVERY' is illegal...merchants of misery.
Just one time just once I would like to see the media any media focus in on the MALE side of issue as in the MALE prostitutes and brothels there are tons and noone ever talks about them i guess its to icky for them to see males as victims in this also
The same trash that frequents brothels and whore houses, abusing women and raping liittle girls, would have no conscience about diddling a little boy either... These people are animals, so they take it however they can get it... Yes, little boys are forced victims too. In many circles they are preferred as they are less "risky"... ie; "priests" in the Catholic church and other self proclaimed religious "leaders".....
wow so much fighting over this story. I will not side with anyone and only say that all this is, is nothing more than a publicity stunt to up CNN low ratings over siding with dems and not keeping professional journalism of neutrality and truthfulness. Even this article is full of holes.
So, why don't you do something about that instead of complaining to the whole world
Why are they posting it against India again and again. Why don't they look in the mirror and end problems at home first.
I'm sorry I can't remember the exact name of the movie but there is one with Donald Sutherland in a part as head of a legal organization and one of their jurisdictions is human trafficking. It may simply be called, "Trafficked" It is so worth watching altho hard. Girls and women are tricked into going someplace thinking there's a job waiting for them. They come from Europe, Southeast Asia....here in the U.S. the perps prey on run-a-ways.....watch the ads (Craigs' List) flourish in any city that hosts big sports play-offs. What is hard to admit is how any one who shops the porn sites may be directly supporting the traffickers. It is extremely hard to catch them....they move constantly and too often there is no where for the girls to go when they get busted for prostitution....they end up back in the hands of their 'owners'. Some are SO broken, they feel they can't go home. Their lives are stolen. Joyce Meyer's Ministry has a 'safe house' there are others... look up http://www.RunForFreedom.net or dreamagain@USA.com if you want to help these girls.
As an Indian man, I feel obligated to repond to some of the anti-Indian comments here.
Before I do that...I gotta say that if it was up to me, the criminals who are involved in this forced child prostitution ring would be hanged.
Now...to the reader who made a comment that when she went to India, Indian men gawked and stared at her – I say this. I'm sorry that that happened to you, but I hope you will realize that such a thing can happen anywhere and the inconsiderate actions of those men had nothing to do with their ethnicity or their race. Speaking for myself, I can say I've never made a woman feel uncomfortable, and hudreds of millions of decent Indian men can say the same.
As for the rich Indians living it up while their countrymen starve...the same nonsense happens in America and everyhwere else.
How come the Republicans are supporting tax breaks for owners of corporate jets when record numbers of Ameicans are struggling financially?
As an American I agree. Many of us around the world don't have a say in what the powers that be do (yes I vote), but in the end corruption usually wins. However, no matter where we live there is evil, there is disgusting things that happen, and there is good. We cannot say it's the Indians, the Americans, the Muslims, the Christians.....people are people and there are good and bad in every group. How much effort has everyone put on these comments to bash a different society? Isn't there more positive things to be doing?
it's all about the unequal and unjust distribution of wealth. everything else, politics, economic theory, religion are just worthless distractions and side shows. these men would sell horse crap if it returned the same profits as humans. it's all about money. admitting anything else is taking your eye off the ball.

Aha – um, ahem, correction from my last post for Kaka. I had it backwards. Brahma is the creator, and Vinshnu is the maintainer. Sorry!
Oh how awful! These poor girls! I'm 17 and I cant imagine how horrible it would be to be forced to be a prostitute. Seriously, what young woman or girl wants to be forced to sleep all day with nasty old men more than twice their age. It breaks my heart for the little ten-year-old! She was worse off than the rest, because she may not have fully understood sex when she was sent there, and her body was not physically ready for sexual intercourse with a full grown man, therefore her first experiences would have been painful as well as frightening.
More than likely she suffered irrepairable genital damage and had little or no medical attention afterward... I'm sure many suffer from massive infections and worse...... thus why it boggles the mind why men would go to a place like this in the first place. hedonism at it's best....
@Sunflower, you know, you're definitely right. I didn't even consider the fact of her not having medical attention (dumb me!). I'm already in training for the ministry, maybe a good idea would be to set up a mission to rescue girls like this and give them another chance at childhood, but there are so many mistreated children in so many different places, that, even though I'd like to help them all, there's no possible way I could help ALL of them alone.
And they'll starve or be back to prostitution soon...
Nice bit of fluff, CNN.
Mmmaybe you could work on exposing the things destroying America (illegal immigration, exporting jobs, the rich elite bleeding us dry) so that mmmaybe American cities aren't such ugly slums in a few years and parents don't openly sell 6 year old girls to be used up that way in a few years just for enough $ to be a few paychecks from being homeless versus daily wages away...? But, no. Doubtless you are bought and sold by the Globalist Bankers who've created this filth and misery around the world and long to debase the people who made it possible, the Americans...
I am happy that 9 lives can be saved. Lets maintain our global patriotism here, and the facts. Prostitution is illegal in US. However the other aspect isn't, and that is equivalent in stimulating crime on children. India has come a long way, and the educated public are not the reasons for the above case. However, India is still suffering poverty, unequal wealth distribution. On the other hand if you see Pakistan and other Islamic countries, the educated public too are involved on crimes on woman and children. So whilst this incident should not be used to garner resentment on India, this incident is also proof that things need to change in India.
Here inUSA, I think they should up the age limit in Navada to 23 ys old for prostitution................There should be a 'safe buffer zone age' between 17 yrs old to 21 yrs old ..............
I hate when CNN posts stories such as these. The population of India is increasing at the rate of between 15 and 18 million people PER YEAR. It is INFINITELY obvious that human life there is so, so cheap that no one cares about 9 little girls having to prostitute themselves from a young age. This is going to keep happening and there are far worst stories than this to report. So please, don't bother describing in unending detail the social decay which is inevitable in all countries where they don't treat human life with the dignity it deserves.
Change one person at a time or Feed one starving person at a time or save one 10 year old from violence and rape and you made a difference to the whole world.
Change one person at a time or Feed one starving person at a time or save one 10 year old from violence and rape and you made a difference to the whole world.
You are an imbecile. When food supply increases, especially in the third world where having lots of children is so deeply ingrained in their psychology and culture, the number of hungry mouths will increase, and what is the good thereof? If you want to save that 10 year old from prostitution, make sure she isn't born at all if there aren't the resources to support her existence. That's it. Let's not have any more imbecile sentimentality which keeps people being born and having their miserable lives unnecessarily prolonged. Let's have genuine social reforms which will ensure guaranteed results.
Because of the abortion issue, there is a new law in India now where u can't find out the gender of the baby during pregnancy. I am not sure if its a law in the entire nation or just some states comply to that law. One of my frinds had a baby couple of years ago and he was not allowed to check the babys gender.
totally sick
underaged children
what the heck is wrong with mankind?
can't these perverts deal with a woman of legal age that they get their thrills with children?
exeucte them immediately no mercy from this guy
This article states that "Five of the nine girls taken from the brothel have been confirmed to be underage".
So, that is to say, five of them were girls; and four of them were not girls... they were women.
And, what is underaged, there? If it is anything like here (18 years), then those women have been women for years by that time. They aren't girls, and if the government changes the legal age to 35, it wouldn't make under-aged 30-year-olds into "girls".
I dont think prostitution is legal in India. It is widespread, rampant but certainly not legal
I don't understand why CNN has these comment sections on articles like this. Do they think there will be some good discussion. Sure its a good thing that happened, but look at the ugliness posted here. There is so much racism against Indians and Middle Eastern people in America, its shocking. And yet many Americans wonder why people in that part of the world hate them.
CNN is so far behind Fox News because of its constant entertainment reporting, and its hacktivist stories like this one.
I'm American and i have no racism towards the Middle East or India or any other nation. America is as messed up as any other country, there's underage girls being prostituted here, children being killed here....What should be stopped is the generalization. Not all Americans are bad, not all of any race/country/ethnicity is bad...or good
well said but we must always be alert to evil it lurks evrywhere
It may not be a bad idea to launch similar rescue operation in our own USA also. There are so many underage girl in this country also going thru underage prostitution. But again here in USA we like to sweep this kind of issue under the Rug.
My abortion comment was for BRBSanDiego.
Those cops would have a hay day in DC.
Forced prostitution and rape by kidnapping is a worldwide problem. This happens in USA, all European nations, Russia, South America and most all western nations just as much under the radar as these third world nations in the news. In this time of recession and depression world wide the resources are limited and there is more desperation by people committing terrible crimes selling their own children to criminals. Unless a worldwide effort is made with billions in resources to go after the criminals there cannot be any solution to this problem.
9 girls protected from Hoes. Yay!!! Keep saving more...
The girls are often drugged and kidnapped from Nepal and brought to India...completely against their will. It's disgusting.
We should not use the tragedy of child prostitution as a proxy for venting our own misandry and misogyny. Most men are responsible, decent people can control themselves and who love the women in their lives dearly. The johns obviously are not. Most women are responsible, decent people who are rightly outraged over this human rights violation. They correctly point out that most such violations are perpetrated by men. Of course, men are more commonly in positions of power and are thus more able to abuse. Lacking the opportunity to do wrong does not prove virtue. There are many women who, when given the opportunity to do wrong, enthusiastically did so.
This is what happens when women are treated worse than livestock.
Resucers start their extensive PR tour of photo op's and interviews – telling anyone who will listen what heros they are, ohhh, and can we have some money to "do more".
Rescued girls given some clothes, food, and money and kicked to the curb to do whatever. They've served their purpose.
It's unfortunate that a lot of the commenters are not able to focus on the problem at hand and misguidedly malign a whole race of people.
The problem is the criminals in this racket – and their criminal acts have nothing to do with their being Indian.
Good and bad people are to be found in all races, and Indians , like members of all races, commit crimes.
To the Pakistani gentleman posting virulently anti-indian material, I say this – brother – whether or not you like to admit it, you're really one of us. Sorry pal. You may be a Muslim while I'm a Hindu, but we look the same, we eat the same food, dress the same, and we speak the same language. Hindi and Urdu are basically the same language.
You can keep pretending you have nothing in common with us, but it just ain't true.
Thats a good thing they rescued them. Thank you Lord! 🙂
Indians, and really anybody from a third world country that migrates to the US, regardless of how much (or how little) money they come from, are blessed to live in this utopia.
When slumdog millionaire came out, any Indian who has some money (including their beloved amitab bachan) came out and slammed the film writers for unveiling the dirty truth about indias slums. Now, one would think if there were so many 'forward' or 'modern' people in the country, then they would come out and rescue these children from the hell hole they call home. Instead, they gained more popularity and finally became content and forgot about the children after winning an Oscar.
I came from a slum.. the problem is not just a corrupt government, it's a corrupt upper and upper middle class that make the government. The ones that make me laugh are the ones on this forum that sit at home, sip their chai and try to convince themselves their country is mostly filled with 'modern' citizens.
That is true... Forgetting is easy... Out of sight out of mind
I think that all pedophiles should either have their equipment sugicallyremoved and replace by a rubber tube and a calmp
Or be summarily executed.
They're all sick bastards.
With all the crack whores and prostitutes in the world,WHY would any adult have to have sex with innocent children?
They are the only true innocents in this rotten world.
Why doesn't god, or allah, or whatever strike these people down to spare that innocents?
Cuz they only exist in the minds of humans.
I applaude the indian and every other police agencies for their efforts to put these sick people UNDER the prisons!
Im glad they rescued the girls.in a corrupt world like this.thank the Lord!!!:)
Around the time of the royal wedding, I saw an article online about a young woman and her friend in England, both aristocratic (in fact, the woman is the granddaughter of a British Viceroy of India) who decided to start a business to HELP women in India make a living and help themselves. I will paste info below on how to purchase the inexpensive bag they sell (which I have found makes a wonderful knitting bag). They also sell lovely clothing, beyond my means, unfortunately! But buying a bag helps a little bit...and here's the link to buy the bag. (I've bought one for our daughters and my sister and her daughters - all lucky, free, educated women - just to help women who are not so lucky.)
http://www.beulahlondon.com/bag.php
The Story
Natasha’s great-great grandfather, Rufus Isaacs, was Viceroy of India in 1921. Her family has since maintained strong connections with the country. As Marquess of Reading, he was the only Jewish Viceroy from 1921-1926. He was a Liberal appointed by Lloyd George and therefore different from the normal aristocratic appointment. He was responsible for overseeing the Indian Chamber of Princes and in favour of guiding India towards self government.
Natasha’s family history prompted her first visit to India a few years ago and so began her love affair with the country. She was joined by Lavinia on a life changing journey in October 2009.
With a heart to help women who had been caught up in the sex trade, Natasha and Lavinia spent two months in the southern slums of Delhi, Lado Sarai, working with an aftercare home called “Atulya”, literally meaning “woman without price; immeasurable; unique”. They helped look after girls who had come out of the sex trade, or who were living locally in absolute poverty, by spending afternoons with them in a local production unit. The aim was to provide these girls with a place of safe refuge and to give them the skills and tools they needed to become financially independent. These skills would also allow for the girls to provide for their families and give hope to future generations.
During Natasha and Lavinia’s time in Delhi, they visited a number of aftercare homes through International Justice Mission (IJM), a human rights agency. IJM provides counseling, therapy and support to girls between the ages of 13-16 at homes such as St. Catherine’s aftercare home (one such home Natasha and Lavinia visited) with the aim of helping them heal emotionally.
Through Oasis India, a charity based in Mumbai, Natasha and Lavinia also visited an aftercare home for girls called Nirmal Bhavan. Oasis India is based in the slums in Mumbai and seeks to empower the community through education and training, as well as working with individuals trapped in sexual exploitation and situations of human trafficking to be equipped with new skills and empowered.
Through experiencing first hand the harrowing effects of human trafficking and the devastation it had brought upon the lives of so many women and children, Natasha and Lavinia were motivated to take action with the aim of making a difference to the lives of these victims. So, Beulah London was born.
Equal to Beulah London’s charitable heart is its desire to produce exceptional quality garments, without compromise. The brand stands for meaningful fashion, bridging the gap between high-end fashion and style, and ethical sourcing of products.
Thanks, Lynne. It's something we can do when we feel helpless. Post the website again without much explanation–might get more attention.
in india, the girls are forced into prostitution. in america and europe, the girls LOVE prostitution and force themselves into it in the form of p0rn movies, etc.
You make that sound as if it were a bad thing. I guess being forced to do something is a more enlightened approach?
This Just in CNN Breaking News: 72 charged in online global child porn ring in USA.
Read the article... It's the most disgusting thing I've ever read... It was graphic... I literally got sick in my office trash can. The depravity of these people reached new lows....
This is good news folks. We need more women in the Indian Police force to crack down on criminals who force young girls into prostitution. Kick all the corrupt men out!
thats western logic. have all the sex and legal prostitution (p0rn movies, strip clubs) you want so you dont have to have forced prostitution. ugggh
No wonder we Americans think that we are better than the rest of the world. It is because we are.
Umm.. so bad you still can't get rid of your dependence on India, China, Gulf countries, European nations, well you get the point. Oh, and by "we americans" – do you mean Mexican-American, African-American, German-American... you should get the point again.
they are currently holding the biggest begging bowl in the world & today even china is having a go at them for there insatiable apetite for other peoples money, then they turn up in the rest of the world playing superpower
what a joke
Kudos to everyone working to free children from sexual slavery, and to CNN for drawing our attention to a problem we would rather not face. Finally, CNN is doing something worthy of Ted Turner. Demi Moore doesn't have to do more than rest on her bank account, but she chose to make a difference for the less fortunate.. What a way to show the silly young crowd of narcissists what real beauty is. Our entire WORLD victimizes women, including women. Stupid movies joking about strippers and prostitutes, old Hef and his bevy of post-teens, obsessions with gyrating girls with their tongues hanging out, and yes, even tot beauty pageants–all show the fundamental devaluing of women endemic to all of us. So when are women going to make women their fight, rather than fight for the rights of men to do whatever men think they need?
Lets all keep in mind that in the vast majority of cases, these girls are not "kidnapped," they are sold by their parents.
Do you have a point in there somewhere?
they are kidnapped OR sold by their parents OR even sold by their kidnappers.. anyways all of these guys are sick inhuman b*st*rds..
hindus have been doing this for centuries nothing new here other than the fact its being reported
Vince, u suck bug time.. I hope u have a daughter & she faces the same.. then u will learn.. There are many other ways to make a living.. A 10 year old gal shdn't make a living at this age.. It is her parent's job. Sad to say scumbags like you advocate underage sex. Are u a pedophile by any chance? Shd the young gals watch out? Shd older women too? Please note that u were born out of a women.. You got a mother, may be a sister too.. a gf? I doubt!!!
@ SUNFlOWER: sunflower, i agree with you and love the way you and many others think. i believe women and men deserve equal respect, because i would love to see my wife and children grow up in a world worth livng in. this world has always been a sick place, and unfortunately corruption has been everywhere and will never diminish. i am glad that the girls were rescued, and i can only hope that their lives will improve. i think prostitution is pathetic, but as long as iit doesnt put people in danger, has the right to be legal. however, for adults only obviously. children deserve much better than that. for those of you who side with people like vince, it wouldnt be worth it to talk crap to you and escalate your satisfaction of being a "badass". all i can do is surround myself with people such as sunflower who actually have respect and compassion for other human beings who deserve it.
This shows that even a smart comic like Carlin could be a jerk. Why not? Because prostitution victimizes women, children, and men who are forced to engage in it. The happy hooker is a myth. Do you really think anyone is happy with what they cannot choose? It's time for all of us to realize that this is not a funny topic. Comics, movies, and tv shows that make light of prostitution are only funny to the terminally immature.
and also, just by reading many of these comments, we are already seeing a sample of the disgusting world we live in. luckily, there are a few good people left...
Child prostitution, pornography, and abuse exists everywhere. Ever hear of sex tourism? One of the saddest things about the Asian tsunami was the use of orphans for child trafficking afterwards. It goes on right here in the USA. At the heart of everything is the idea that the weak are there to be used. Why does so much of society hate gay men? Because they see gay sex as violation, and they abhor the thought that they could be violate LIKE A WOMAN, like someone weaker than they are. It all has to do with our ideas of dominance, and greed. This is not funny, and we should not joke about it.
Prostitution is legal in India? I was not aware of this. Considering the conservative religious background of both the Hindi and Muslim population, that's around the opposite of what I would've expected. I mean, isn't this the country that wet itself in anger when an American actor kissed an Indian Actress during an awards show? Legal prostitution seems quite liberal for such a repressed people.
this is not a muslim problem all these girls are hindu please fully check the report. A muslim would rather starve to death than sell his daughter, maybe a hindu doesnt like me saying this. but its a fact muslim parents would not sell there daughters indeed anyone with a shred of decency wouldnt
India is so sketchy and cheap, just like the indians
When did u smell their ass? tsk tsk
@xyzzy: i could not agree more. im glad you feel that way. thank you
Prostitution is the act or practice of providing sexual services to another person in return for payment.
Rape is a type of sexual assault usually involving sexual intercourse, which is initiated by one or more persons against another person without that person's consent.
This is not prostitution. It is rape. These are children.They are not adults. And even if they were, they are not consenting. They have been taken as slaves. If these were boys would we for even a second consider the daily rape of young male children an acceptable way of making a living?
india is the tourist destination of choice for tourists as it is the biggest chil sex market in the world & this from a country that claims to be the biggest democracy in the world ... what a joke.
safe guard your children first then come out bragging your the biggest democracy in the world. the chinese would never do this to there children & none calls them a democracy when they are probably the biggest democracy in the world with just one or two tweeks to be sorted out.
Since many of you want to point the finger at one country are from the USA, let me point out the following story, also from CNN TODAY:
http://www.cnn.com/2011/CRIME/08/03/us.child.porn.ring/index.html
"More than 50 members of a child pornography ring who engaged in what authorities describe as "horrific" and "unspeakable" crimes have been arrested for sexually exploiting children from 12 years old to as young as infants. The ring, based in the United States, reached across five continents and 14 countries.
Seventy-two members of the online site called Dreamboard have been charged in the United States."
Thats right.. in the good ole' "civilized" USA. I do believe that the following saying was credited to Jesus: "Before you remove the mote of dust from your neighbor's eye, be sure to remove the plank from your own." Judge not, lest ye be judged. This situation comes from good old supply and demand. The demand for sex is HERE in the USA. The supply of porn comes from the USA- from the two porn capitals of Atlanta and LA. So, take your self righteous cultural centric views to 'The greatest lil whorehouse in Texas' ok?
Also to those who want to further infect India with your Christian teachings. India has its own ancient culture. We dont have Christian priests molesting little boys...and we dont want them. Keep your Christian or Muslim teachings to yourself. We dont bother trying to convert you to Hinduism or Buddhism. We prefer that you treat us with the same respect.
Personally, I am glad that these children were rescued. I am against the abuse of children in ANY form, and animals as well. I hope that we can do more to address this situation GLOBALLY. I believe in sexual freedom for adults WITH OTHER ADULTS- Never ever with children. This is yet another situation where we have to THINK GLOBALLY and ACT LOCALLY.
Rescued 9. Its a good step to stop trafficking. Here are a few facts all of us should know(Indians as well as Americans)
1. GIrls are trafficked from Nepal to Northern parts of India. Thats true. The nepalise parents sell their children(both boys and girls) to Indians. Bosy are used for work while girls are sold as servants to rich people or to idiots who turn them to s** slaves.
Not only india even US has the same problem.(http://www.cnn.com/2011/CRIME/08/03/us.child.porn.ring/index.html?hpt=hp_t2) This article was posted on CNN today.
Indian muslim girls are sold to Arab countries for money. Parents think this will end the misery for the kid as they will live with rich Dubai shaiks. But no one hears about them ever So bad. So Do I blame the bad Dubai shaiks for buying indian girls or the parents who are foolish to think so(its the same as the nepali parents..isn't it)??
2. India has been fighting this problem for years and as everyone knows every society has good as well as bad people. So we still need to fight the bad where ever we are. So US is also doing the same. Please read the above article.
Hindu religion has nothing to do with this. Mata Durga is the highest of all gods and most of the good indians still follow that and treat women as equals.
US was not even in the world map untill 14th century. Once Columbus discovered the route from Spain, people moved to US to form this country.(please read history too – Recently CNN posted that most of the american kids dont know their old presidents either..isnt that bad) But do you know why columbus set off sailing? He was in search of India because it was the only rich country on the face of this earth. Ofcourse India is poor now because of constant invasions from people of every part of the globe. but still we preserved our culture and tradition. So stop talking bad about india. Just realize that its a viscous circle and every rich country will become poor one day. How about US which was a rich country after the second world war is now in debt of 14 trillion to the rest of the world and govt took 3 weeks fighting among themselves like spoiled children discussing about settling the debt(a program aired on HLN used these words'SPOILED CHILD'). So dont worry.
And speaking about jobs, please remember that we indians (ofcourse any immigrant) pays tax equally as you do and we dont have the benefit to enjoy the Social Security benefits. So that means we work hard and still we are the ones paying for your senior citizens and unemployed to live happy while you enjoy driniking beer and F**** bit*** in the bars. So who's doing good for the American society ??
This is not a blame game to keep blaming one another. Please all of you wether you are indian, american, paki or wat ever join hands and work together. I'm a christian too and I believe we all are the children of god and we should only help each other rather than blaming and scold
ing others.
if we had more brothels there would fewer wars
Ah yes, ancient india 5000yrs of spiritiuality. Keep telling yourself that your the worlds largest democracy, with the fastest growing economy. How do you say in sanskrit, 'circling the drain'!
I think that the species has ensured survival. Time to get the brain out of your pants.

why don't we arrest the customer ? if we put these customers in justice, the problem will be solved.

"Under Indian law, prostitution is legal, but profiting from another person's prostitution is not."
– This is what the U.S. needs.
Actually, men are much more likely to be rapists than women.
you are a clown
Hey lavakava,
I sure hope you don't live in the US. You sound like a bitter, old Indian woman. You immigrate to the United States for a better life, but hold on to the same beliefs that chained you down in your mother country.
Boobs are enough to be blamed for something in Indian culture. You're forgetting what Bollywood was like back in its "golden age". The women who danced in the center of a room for men weren't just dancers, they were prostitutes (see: Mughal-e-azam). Also, the average age that american girls lose their virginity is 17. Let's not forget that many girls in India are married by then and have a few children. Early marriage in India is just an excuse to do ridiculous things to women because marriage somehow gives the seal of approval to do whatever the fuck you want. You can't even compare divorce to honor killings, satis, dowry, etc.
I find it so difficult to cherish my Indian heritage when I hear stories from immigrant women about the horrors of being a woman in India.
Do not care.
For some real insight into this situation and others like it, and what you can do about it, read "Half the Sky" by Kristof and WuDunn.
Women, this is our fight., with help from the more loving of our men. Time to stop supporting their causes and look to our own. Make up your own minds about things without the MALE intrusions of clergy, husbands, sons, or media. Raise your daughters to respect themselves and their sisters. Stop reacting to the trolls you see here. They'll never get it. We listened when they told us that the Equal Rights Amendment had to be defeated because women would go to combat and use the same toilets as men. The ERA was defeated, and we do. They kill our sons in stupid wars of pride and greed, and they buy and sell our children. Know anything about biology? We are the norm. We are the strong ones. Most miscarriages are male, and male infants with problems are more likely to fail. So why do we defer to them? Their fights are not ours.
You couldn't be more wrong. I'm married with kids who I don't want to see grow up like you, full of hate and hoping to prove something. A great group of gay men sang "Macho, macho, maaaan." They were mocking the sentiment. I'm not bitter, I'm not fat (though if I were, what difference would it make?), and I'm not even remotely conservative. Jackboot-wearing? Code word for "lesbian." I'm not that either, although it wouldn't matter either. Women pedophies? Oh, puhlease! Even if there were only one, men would point their fingers and say, "see?" Yup. Women can be sick too, but how many of them institutionalize it and call it "girls just being girls?"
India has become too big to govern and uphold social values that are in conformity with todays global norms. Racism, polytheism, prostitution, drug use, religious suppression, dehumanizing people, treating women like trash is rampant and out of control. time to break it up into smaller pieces like Sudan before the country implodes.
Seriously, have you ever been to Bangkok? Amsterdam? Any highway along a city in the USA with a "massage and 24 hour video" sign? This stuff happens everywhere.
Silence Does NO Good
It is GREAT to see some action against this crime, but the numbers of children ( estimated by CNN in their last article ) 10 to 30 million around the world make the one child brothel here and there a token to appease those of us who are outraged by the practice. The measure of a people is how they treat their young and elderly. Humanity falls far short on both counts. ( The policies of our governments the world wide sure do) The amount of money, as per INTERPOL at 28 billion US dollars a year, the graft and un-written policies to leave such operations alone. The non reporting of details ( 60 to 80 thousand girls brought INTO the US every year ) again a statistic from Interpol. Translate to a major change in international policy, and a major step up in International enforcement needed if this tragic practice is to be shut down......
If anyone wants to read about an awesome Indian man doing something awesome in India, then google "risug" and check out the information. Basically, it's an incredible new form of birth control for men which is hitting SERIOUS resistance from political groups, for the simple fact that giving the poorest men control over their fertility will lead to a drastic decline in the cheap labor pool the ruling class needs to exploit for profit. Anyway, he's my favorite Indian, by far!
I would like to believe there is a special place in hell for people who sexually abuse kids.
They are locked up in the wooden box where they can never move and it's always 100 degrees.
Once again Government interference in stopping a businessman from making money. When will governments stop targeting innocent businessmen?
it is really insanity how this is going on and still others are trapped and have no where to go
What's with all these comments about eachothers religions? Everyone says their religion is the best and correct religion. Everyone says their religion is one of good values and morals, yet these same religions tell you to kill and die for your religion. Some religions even convince their people to kill innocent people. Some religions teach you to suppress your women and use them like tools. Some religions teach you that s.e.x with women is for procreation only yet s.e.x with a young boy or girl, is OK? More wars have been started over religion than any other reason. Religion is bull s.h.i.t. Grow up and start taking charge of your own life. Stop looking to blame others or blame the "evil one". Take responsibility for your own life and your own actions. This goes out to all religions. You people need to take a close look at yourselves before you throw any more stones. Your religion teaches you to be tolerant yet you are the first to judge. Your religions teach you to be hospitable and caring yet you’re the first to hurt. Religion is a manmade tool used to control you.
What happens to those little girls now? They can't be sent home–it was their parents who sold them into sexual slavery. They will be ostrasized with the stigma of being 'unclean' in those countries. They are too young to marry. So, what happens to them now?

Stanley, you really should shorten your name to Stan.
There's just too many letters to write down in your name!
Leave them there and use them as bait...then castrate the johns.
This was an interesting article, it reminds me of this book I read- Sold by Patricia McCormick. If you are interested in more on this topic I would definitely recommend reading it.
Photos of Prince Andrew with child prostitute, and lurid details of 'naked pool parties'.

I guess the wealthy can do this with impunity..
Oh, its not legal in that country or religion?
Yes all good these girls were saved, every individual life is important and worth fighting for.
But... What about those other countries and religions that still legally allow this?
Baby steps, I suppose.
Although we could just fully take charge and do something right now (?) Obviously the western world is not 'that' outraged just yet!
My husband to be has a daughter that wont work, has been out of college for what seems like forever, is 26 now and wants to go to Greece for "fun" ..for the same reason... expects others to pay her way. She sleeps all day so I guess it will help at night. I think what Demi and others are doing is wonderful, my problem is kids now just want a free trip and will use anything to justify it.
The problem is not the sex trafficers nor the volunteering prostitutes. the problem has always been those pathetic rich criminals with small dicks, that can only feel like real men if they prey on and attack young girls by enticing them with the glamour of casinos and every thing they rob others of.those rich pathetic pieces of feces with their tiny dicks and their rulling manic mentalities are stricken with dreaded desease and they all die in agony.EVERYONE WHO CONDONES THOSE WILL SUFFER THE SAME FATE.
