Topic : 11/17 The Search for Natalee and Amy

The Sex Slave Industry exists because their is a market for it.  To get rid of the market is key.  One needs to prosecute those who sell and market these young girls and those who use the services.  Those using the services include rich American tourists. 

According to World Vision a quarter of all who travel internationally so that they may solicit sex from children are U.S. citizens.   

These industries exist in the U.S. as well.  Maybe you should work on fixing the problem at home.  Finding and prosecuting the sick Americans who are using these services.  

this whole story is heart breaking. it never occured to me that she could have been kidnapped into the sex slave world.  

these stories really go to show that when you are on vacation, especially out of the country where the laws could be contrary to what we think they should be, that you cannot act 'as usual' when traveling. even then, there are some really bad people in the world that want what they want and could kidnap anyone.  

My girlfriend and I were in hawaii when we were 18. I remember that we were with a group of people that she knew but I didn't. We were drinking and I am certain that I would not have been able to fight off an attacker. Anyhow, the night took a turn that I was not willing to participate in. I left and asked the restaurant to call me a taxi. I waited outside where I could have been taken without anyone noticing (I thought I was being smart). Fortunately I made it back to the hotel where we were staying and my brother was there. I told him where we had been and he was furious! The next day on the way home he told me to never go out and get drunk so you can't take care of myself, I should never go out alone and that there are some very bad people in this world.  

Recently while shopping at Target, I got in the elevator to go to the 2nd floor. a man jumped in behind me and totally creeped me out. Knowing I was stuck in the elevator, I turned my cart so that it faced him - I then made eye contact. When the doors opened I exited after him. It was my impression that he followed me around the store for a while. I left my cart and went back to the other floor. I didn't see him again and did my shopping all over again. I don't know if he was a bad person or just happened to be on teh same route as me but I am glad I'll never know.  

It's sad that there is such a terrible type of person that prays on young women that maybe aren't aware of where danger might be lurking. It is also important for parents to teach their kids to trust their instinct about whether or not someone is a creep and to take measures to protect themselves.  

I hope both of these girls are found and can shed some light on what really happened.  

Boycotting Caribbean resorts isn't likely to change this international problem.   The estimate is that 50,000 sex slaves are imported and sold in the US each year.   Americans are also the prime customers in many of the brothels in other countries that use captives and children. There are even sex tours organized in the US to travel to Thailand and other poor countries to use their children. This problem will continue as long as their are customers.  I recommend that we look closer to home for an answer. 

     I have kept up with Natalee and her missing in Aruba.  My daughter and I have spent many nights looking at TV.(Nancy Grace, CNN ,and Fox)  We were so concerned for her and her family.  And of course, we still are.  I am so excited to hear the news that she may still be alive.  Oh how we all pray for her to be found O.K. and returned to her family and friends.  That would truly be a miracle!!  I am very interested to know if her mother has talked to someone like Sylvia Browne or a famous psychic that is known to have information on cases like this. ( I have looked at real criminal case stories on TV that have psychics that actually solved the case. )  I believe these psychics and believe these are talents given to them by God.  I know there are fakes out there and I don't believe in these psychic hotlines you call to find out what your future will be like.  I truly believe beautiful people like Sylvia Browne  are real and speaking out to help people.  This is a God given talent and  God intends for them to help people.  I like watching the Montel show when Sylvia is  there.  So interesting and I  love how she helps sad folks deal with the loss of a loved one.  I just would love to know what these legitimate  psychics have to say about Natalie and  her disappearance.    I have not read any information , as to whether a psychic has  commented about Natalie.  If someone has any information about this, I would like to know.  In closing, I continue to pray for her safe return home.  To her family, keep up the faith.  Everyone admires you for your strength!!! 

You said: Then we have the "ace investigators". Yeah, it's real subtle to get off a plane and the guy renting you a car just happens to know where you go to buy underage kidnapped prostitutes. Then when you get there, the "supposed madam" just starts shoving girls at you. Yeah, I'm believing that one. <rolling eyes> 

I have to ask...have you ever spent any amount of time out of the USA? I've lived in Europe for SEVEN YEARS...it is ENTIRELY FEASIBLE for exactly this scenario to take place!!!!! Wake up or stop preaching on a subject for which YOU obviously have no solid ground to stand upon! 

The Lifetime channel just ran a movie on human trafficing about girls that had been kidnapped and sold into prositiution. Every parent should see it.  Any country that participates and allows this horrendous money making venture should be boycotted. Travel agencies should be written to and encouraged to warn our citizens that they may be at risk.  

I do have a question for Dr. Phil as a parent.  What can every parent tell their son to keep them away from these places of prostitution?  If men weren't visiting them they wouldn't be in business.  Why don't these men have any self respect either for themselves or others?  How does it come to be that some boys think it's acceptable to use women?  Why don't they think they are responsible for having self control?  Help us to raise better men and maybe, just maybe, it would make a difference.
