Child sex

I've read a piece of news about predators seeking child sex. (http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?
pid=20601080&sid=a6RbY.ZKJ3CE&refer=asia)

It is estimated that "50,000 children below the age of 18 work in Thailand's sex industry, and many more in neighboring Cambodia." There are many NGOs working on this issue, yet the problem still exists owing to the lack of law enforcement. Probably the government does not take it as a serious matter, or the government in fact could not help. The vicious power behind is probably so strong that the government could not supress, or even worse that the government is part of them.

There are countless ties behind.

One of the terrible things according to the news is the oldest prostitutes are teenagers. It means the other younger ones are only children. It is very hard and painful to imagine their tragic life.

Many social problems exist in contemporary world - especially in less developed countries, and most of them have been lasting for over decades. We all know the problems, yet we are unable to solve them.

Why? In man's world it seems never be possible to live peacefully. This makes something exciting, something interesting, something terrible, something gloomy and so on. I wonder this means life. C'est la vie.

Cambodia is the "worst country" for such crimes. It is one of the least developed countries in South-east Asia. Notwithstanding all those tragedies in this kingdom, this is my dearest lovely country.

Perhaps because all these countries like Cambodia are less developed, everything is more simple, decent and lovable.
