It's scary to think this really happens

What's frightening to me is the idea that Belgian child sex rings are real. We'd all like to think that this is the stuff porno for psychopaths, but unfortunately, it's not. Even more disturbing is that while this very sad story took place in Belgium, reporter Peter Landesman told Fresh Air "that tens of thousands of women, girls and boys are smuggled into the United States from Eastern Europe and held captive as sex slaves in American cities like New York, Los Angeles, Atlanta and Chicago. Landesman reports that the U.S. government has done little to pursue the traffickers."

And it's not just Landesman. Check out the Polaris Project, trying to stop human trafficking.
