Sex tourism within the U.S.

Reading this truly made me heartsick... now, studying to be a psychologist makes me aware that the sexual drive is a powerful one, and as a constructivist I believe that people do construct their own realities... but I for one can't imagine a reality in which there can be any pleasure in demeaning and abusing a child.

I agree with you Kaicito. I work with a little girl, age 6, as a TSS in school. It's been discussed that she has been sexually abused at some point. 6 years old!! In a nearby town, a man was reported by a woman on the internet because he was masturbating on a webcam over a sleeping two year old. He was caught when he set up and thought he was meeting a 14 year old for a 'date'. It's turns my stomach that there is a market for this kind of thing.
