l think what's even more unfortunate and very sad, is the fact that Africans
are involved in doing this to their own.Greed is a very dangerous thing. Oh
Africa, what money will not make some of us subject our own people to.

<< You know, this reminds me of something I saw on a TV show called
Investigative Reports, which comes on A and E here in the US.  This same sort
of thing was going on in Thailand.  They would recruit young girls from the
country and send them to Bangkok, and the same sort of promises were made to
them as were made in the article posted here.  It is very unfortunate and
upsetting to me to read this.
      This should be stopped, but since it seems tohave gotten so far out of
control, the question is how does it stop, and can it even be stopped since
it seems that the people involved know the system really well.
      Is there a way that something can be put into place by the Dutch
government to watch out ofr this sort of thing.  Something to stop these
girls from being sold into prostitution before it happens?
      It just seems to me like it would be very difficult to curtail
something like this since it has seemed to have gone so far out of control.
