the most disappointing act of mankind

man has been deemed as the most successful and ethical in their dealings in the world. but it is saddening and terrifying to know that this is all but a pack of lies. yes, mankind is indeed successful, for example, in the invention of light bulbs and aeroplanes. but there is another kind of success which is ugly and shocking to reveal. the success of trafficing thousands of innocent and helpless children to be sex slaves.
many children are betrayed by their trusted love ones to be sold just to get that little money for the family. others are coaxed and conned into going overseas for better prospects in life. little did they realise that it is all a lie. what is more horrifying is that the police are paid to let brothels operated for every minute that they are in business. bribery is incresingly popular with judges and police officers that it is hard to find someone to trust. isn't it scary to know that law enforcers, instead of enforcing the law, are actually the ones breaking it? there is also another new service that has been offered by trafficers. that is to bring the young ones to the men who 'ordered' them. this will only increase the demand for child prostitution.
these acts of mankind, (sex trafficking of children, accepting bribery and no enforcement of law) are selfish as they hurt children physically and mentally. it was reported on the Oprah show that children hate their forced lifestyle and are humiliated by their life. and those who were saved by relatives actually have mixed feelings about returning home. as they are from poor and conservative communities, their family members may find it hard to accept them and this will bring psychological hurt to them. they may even feel dirty and detest their life. the kids have done no wrong to deserve these shattered lives that they own. is the faults of manipulative grown ups that ruins their simple, though hard, life. this silent conspiracy between men must stop and the society should expose this as a shameful and sinful crime. poverty is the cause of the problem and governments should seriously give thoughts about ending this undesirable and shameful sin by toughen up law enforcement, obviously with people who do not take bribes and perhaps under some watch dog organization, and by improving the lives of the poor so that they will not resort to this means to get money for their daily necessities. children have their basic human rights too. who are we to deny them of it? this is the failure of mankind.
