"A nationwide crackdown on child prostitution rescued eight children in Seattle and one in Everett - more than any other metropolitan area in the United States.

"It's big problem here ... not just in Washington, but the entire country," says Robbie Burroughs of the FBI's Seattle office.

More child prostitutes were found in the Puget Sound region than in Cleveland, which had seven, and New York City, with five. The youngest victim nationwide was just 10 years old. In Seattle, the youngest was 14.

"Anybody who lives in our state or in this country should be concerned that our children are being recruited into this kind of life and being exploited through prostitution," Burroughs says."

This is another sad commentary of how children and women are treated in this country.

Children of the night. This is a total outrage.

Nearly 700 people, including 61 pimps, were arrested in a sweep called Cross Country IV.
There would be no trade, business, or prostitution if the john was not in the picture. Men who participate in sex with little kids need to go to jail and be fined. The pimps who use these young people for sex for money, once caught should go to jail for life.

There are estimates that about 300,000 to 800,000 are children involved in child prostitution each year.

It has been said that prostitution is the oldest profession. Prostitution should not be the youngest profession.
