please pass this on, tell everyone you possibly can. now that you know, you cannot say that you dont know about child sex-slavery, you can only say that you dont care. — NBC’s Chris Hansen interviewed Mu Soc Hua, Cambodia’s minister of women’s affairs:

Hansen: ”Cambodia has a lot of problems. Where do you rank the child sex trade?” Mu Soc Hua: “I rank sexual trade, sexual exploitation of our children as top - on the top of my list.” Hansen: “Is there any way to even attach a number to this to say how many children?” Mu Soc Hua: “Around 30,000.” Hansen: “That’s a staggering number.” Mu Soc Hua: “Yes. Yes.”

My dear friends, only 37 children were rescued from that place of darkness, that prison they were kept in, the place that was like hell. The thought of 37 freed children, in comparison to the staggering 30,000 who are still imprisoned in the brothels, pierce through my heart. How can I, a Vietnamese, not take it personally, when the majority of those young girls are my very own people—Vietnamese? I know that when this news first came out in 2004, it made many viewers furious. Many also shed tears for these children and became the voices for them. Some even stepped in and helped. Children sex slavery was able to come to a halt, or at least slowed down a bit for a short time. But my friends, these brothel owners are very good at putting pieces together. The progression of buying and selling children as sex slaves has become more refined. They are able to hide it better. There are now more children than ever serving the sickest of men. Today I will once more let my cries for them be heard through you, and let their screams be heard through me. My dear friends, do not let the children cry by themselves. Listen to them as they are calling out to you, as they are suffering in the four walls of their cold-hearted owners. Please be their voices, for if you do not hear them and speak up for them, then how will others be able to hear them? Do not let their cries vanish into the desert. Please help them carry their crosses as Simeon had helped Jesus carry His Cross 2000 years ago. May the God of Love and Truth take away our fears and uncertainties so that we may become the voices of the truth. And through truth, the children will be set free! [source]

Be there voice. Make a difference. As you know, this is not just in Cambodia but in many other places. This specifically mentions Cambodia because thats the mission spot that father thong is going to, to save these kids. So please, pass on the message. Don’t just leave this here.
