CHILD TRAFFICKING  AND CHILD ABUSE HAS TO COME TO AN END.

Trafficking in children is a global problem affecting large numbers of children. Some estimates have as many as 1.2 million children being trafficked every year. There is a demand for trafficked children as cheap labour or for sexual exploitation. Children and their families are often unaware of the dangers of trafficking, believing that better employment and lives lie in other countries.

NYC police: 7 members of street gang attacked gay recruit, man he sex with, another teen, nytimes

By Associated Press

NEW YORK (AP) — New York City police say members of a street gang discovered one of their recruits was gay, so they brutally beat and tortured him and two other people.

Commissioner Raymond Kelly said Friday that seven people were arrested on charges of assault, unlawful imprisonment, sodomy and menacing as hate crimes in the attacks earlier this week. Police were searching for two other suspects.

Kelly says the suspects are members of a gang who call themselves the "Latin King Goonies."

Police say the gang members discovered a 17-year-old recruit had sex with a 30-year-old man, so they beat the teen and sodomized him with the wooden plunger handle. Police say they later beat the 30-year-old, and another 17-year-old they believed was gay.
