Twisted Vacations

     In an earlier blog I mentioned that the United States was ranked as a high trafficking destination. Other places include Belgium, Japan, Thailand, and Turkey. These countries are places in which children and women are captured and sold EVERYDAY, but the difference is that people fly to these countries solely to have sex! Professionals like lawyers and doctors fly to trafficking destinations to have sex with young boys and women.   
      I find that very sad and disturbing. Trafficking in itself is a terrible crime, but it is amazing and sickening the lengths that people go to in order to participate in such a horrendous crime. After reading an article in Essence magazine, I was shocked to find out that more and more men are going on these twisted vacations. I do not understand what type of individual will travel half way across the country to have sex with a child. In a sense, it is like they are trying to separate themselves from the actual act. By that, I mean they travel to these far away destinations where they are unknown, and they can act out things that would not be acceptable back home--wherever home may be. Most of the time, these vacations are usually disguised as business trips. The families back home are usually unaware of what is really going on, and that is unfair to the wife and children. These twisted vacations are becoming more and more popular, and they are contributing to the rise of human trafficking. That is the opposite of what needs to be happening, and these twisted vacations and their participants are enjoying every minute of it.
