Jemison, AL —- A Chilton County E-911 dispatcher must have thought he hit the jackpot when he allegedly made a date to have sex with what he thought to be two girls, ages 11 and 14. He was sadly mistaken. When he showed up at the prearranged meeting place in Shelby County, only Homeland Security officers were eagerly awaiting his arrival.

Trafficking is a violation of fundamental rights. 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.

Child trafficking is lucrative and linked with criminal activity and corruption. It is often hidden and hard to address. Trafficking always violates the child’s right to grow up in a family environment. In addition, children who have been trafficked face a range of dangers, including violence and sexual abuse. Trafficked children are even arrested and detained as illegal aliens.

MICHIGAN–A $1-million bond was set today for a stepmother accused of killing her 2-year-old stepdaughter in New Haven.

Ten-week-old Lyon D. Campos died from multiple blunt force injuries in October and the cause of death was homicide, the Boulder County Coroner’s Office said today in closing its investigation into the Lafayette child’s death. The boy’s father, 21-year-old Joaquin Campos, is facing charges of child abuse resulting in the death, harassment and domestic violence. He is free on $500,000 bond and is scheduled for arraignment on March 18.

What has prompted me to write this piece is the current increasing rate at which the media is reporting cases of pedophilia on a daily basis. Like armed robbery, the situation seems to be out of control. The flood of reports could almost make you think that everyone who sexually abuses a child is mad. Teachers, carpenters, masons, drivers, farmers, truck-pushers, men of God and even chiefs are, on a daily basis, reported to have defiled or abused a child across the country. Of course, many of such dangerous monsters are sex maniacs but it is also true that some of them are sane and deliberately abuse these kids out of lust.

Lansing, MI Dentist Accused Of Sexual Abuse

For many children and even some adults, going to the dentist is not a trip they like to take. But for one young patient, police say his visits were a nightmare. “This child was put in an unreasonable situation,” said Detective Elizabeth Reust. “His parents took him to the dentist and he got abused there so it’s particularly bothersome.”

Detective Reust and Detective Vicky Nevins of the Lansing Police Department have been investigating this case for the past six weeks or so. 64-year-old Dr. Wendell Alan Racette was arraigned on Monday morning on eight counts of criminal sexual conduct. A 20 year old man came forward just last month saying Dr. Racette molested him starting when he was just five years old.
