FBI Arrests 345 in Children Prostitution Busts

Twenty-one children have been rescued and hundreds of people have been arrested in what the FBI is calling a five day roundup of networks of pimps who force children into prostitution. It is a good thing I don't have anything to say about it because I would just line them up in front of a firing squad and that would be the end of that. The Justice Department says it targeted 16 cities as part of its "Operation Cross Country" that caps off five years of similar stings nationwide. I think this is a shame to the nation. Many of the children were runaways or what people would call "throw aways" - kids whose families have shunned them. The pimps take advantage of their vulnerability. It is just sickening to me.
