There are 5,000 child prostitutes living in the UK - and over three-quarters of them are girls, according to a new report.
The report, by Save The Children, criticises the Government for "not doing enough to respond to the plight of children in this inhumane situation".
But Bill Bell, Save the Children's head of protection, says child slavery is still a major problem today.
"There are still millions of children in both rich and poor countries who are being forced to lead slave-like lives under horrific conditions of humiliation and abuse," he said.

I can't think about this for more than a few seconds without being sent into a murderous rage.
Knows for a facts children as sold in open markets in Africa, China and the middle-east.
This group is just white folk, European bashing.
One reason why fathers need to be the head of their own families.
I’d need to see more facts before I have an opinion. The track record of these advocacy groups is very poor with wild lying and exaggeration of statistics being the norm. Remember when they used to count 19 years old gang members as ‘children’? Not that the abuse of children is ever justified. Far from it. But I suspect that the problem is much smaller than these people claim and probably could be dealt with by local law enforcement.

And every issue suddenly becomes a race issue.
In a way I’m actually hoping that child slaves come to the UK or US or any non-cesspool country. At least then there will be more agencies to search for them.
Oh..you've notice that also..
I wonder who or what made it so?
Racist rabble rousers in the United States have made "race" our own Berlin Wall.....the division is VISIBLE.
