Good points.
India gets a pass in the media because the Globalists (both liberal and GOP) want to ship IT and high-tech production to there. The media does so many fluff pieces on India...about their so-called great high-tech education and growing wealth....but never reports how much India is still a major Third World Craphole still clinging on to cultural norms from past millenia. India’s human development index ratings are still in the bottom third of all nations.
No surprise that child trafficking still goes on. Scary is that the ones stolen for labor are better treated than the ones stolen for sexual abuse
America was "A safe place for children to play."
So people wanted to believe. We played out late after dark. We went to the store by ourselves. And a hundred thousand kids every year "ran away from home."
We are still talking about a lot of those kids who "ran away from home."
We dont call them "runaways" anymore though.
We find those kids in the woods, or under old buildings, or in an old landfill. Today we call them "Cold Case Files" and "unsolved Mysteries."
Pimps and pedophiles were getting a free pass and having a field day because the truth was too uncomfortable to face. Until the Reagan administration changed the game with the Meese Commission.
I have an apartment in “Curry Hill” in NYC. Occasionally, I pick up a pretty trinket at one of the Indian stores. I had no idea about “bangle factories.” I’ll avoid these shops in the future.
