FBI officials say they have rescued 52 children in a series of raids around the country aimed at under-age prostitution.
Authorities say the youngest victim was just 10 years old. The bureau and local police officials also arrested 60 pimps during the three-day enforcement effort in 36 cities.
The raids are the latest in a long-running Operation Cross Country aimed at child prostitution rings around the country. Almost 1,600 agents and officers took part in the raids, which led to federal and state charges against a total of 691 suspects. The investigations typically target places where minors are likely to be sold for sex, including truck stops, casinos, public streets, and Internet Web sites.

What a sad thing for those kids to have been through.
I would like a torture penalty for these abusers.

Quite honestly, I would expect the number to be higher than 52, given they were working in 36 cities. That’s only about 2 per city - major cities? I’m very glad they’ve got at least those kids safe but that’s only the tip of the iceberg.

Question # 1 Was the housing ACORN funded?
Question # 2 Are these Children getting help?
Question # 3 Is there a Swamp near by?

What? I thought prostitution was a victimless crime. Perhaps not, eh?

Quite honestly, I would expect the number to be higher than 52 691 suspects, so each child had 11 pimps running them? This does seem messed up.
