== IT IS HAPPENING EVERYWHERE ==
Namaskar,
With the rise of materialism, all kinds of social diseases spill out into the society. Where materialism is more extreme then things are even worse.
Unfortunately this disease of materialism is becoming more and more pervasive; it is nearly everywhere. And, as we all know, the goal of materialism is the path of selfish pleasure - by any means, everywhere. People are willing to do anything and everything to satisfy their crude desires.
For some, this below story may be very surprising. But for those who understand the underpinnings of materialistic life it is not surprising. Just it is very sad.
Here is the basic equation: When people just think about their own unit self then they want to exploit others. That is the theme of materialism. It creates a toxic environment. The way these young girls are being treated is but one example.
This poisonous disease of materialism can be eradicated only when we bring such topics into the limelight and make others aware. Then innocent young girls and others will not be exploited.
We should also keep in mind that on these points Baba has said it is an economic issue.
Please read the below and help bring others into the know.
Respectfully,

Up to 300,000 girls between 11 and 17 are lured into the U.S. sex industry annually, according to a 2007 report sponsored by the Department of Justice and written by the nonprofit group Shared Hope International.
Some 90 percent of runaways and children whose parents force them to leave home fall into the trade and are often beaten, drugged, raped or imprisoned to force compliance, said a section of the report.
Pimps tattoo girls with "$" signs or the word "Daddy" and take them to unfamiliar cities where they are more vulnerable. They are forced to have sex with men 15 times a day. There’s a high volume of pedophiles who come in just for the day” to seek sex with underage girls.
“We tell women who are abused to run, but when girls run, they become vulnerable to the pimps,” Saar said. “We don’t put the trafficker or the pimp behind bars. When you go and talk to survivors of trafficking, they talk about how they are the ones who were arrested.”
Typically, pimps recruit unwitting girls at shopping centers, mall events and on the Internet. Once ensnared, shame, fear and psychological manipulation by pimps make it hard to break free.
Clients, often called "Johns", hook up with girls via the Internet, through hotels, massage parlors, strip clubs and escort services, the report said.
"At previous Super Bowls [and other high-profile events], pimps hired cab drivers to turn their vehicles into mobile brothels," said Deena Graves, executive director of child advocacy group Traffick911.
"We are expecting thousands of underage domestic minors to be trafficked to the Super Bowl," says Nancy Rivard, founder of non-profit Airline Ambassadors International. Non-profit groups working at the 2010 Super Bowl in Miami supplied the figure, she said.
RESCUE
Law enforcement agencies and advocacy groups rescued around 50 girls during the previous two Super Bowls, said Graves. Six were registered on the Center for Missing and Exploited Children website. One had been trafficked from Hawaii.
"Even one rescue is considered a success," said Frundt who now advocates for exploited girls and has founded a girls' treatment center and a safe house for girls in Washington D.C.
To fight the trade, authorities, child welfare advocates and the airline industry are collaborating.
Representatives from American Airlines, Delta, United, Quantas and American Eagle are holding a training session to help them spot signs of trafficking. Rivard will also work with another 100 flight crews to distribute materials on flights.
Some 67,000 people signed a petition opposing sex trafficking as part of a campaign by Traffick911 called "I'm Not Buying It!" that is supported by 60 nonprofits and faith-based groups.
That campaign has also attracted heavy hitters like Dallas Cowboy Jay Ratliff, a three-time Pro Bowler, who made a public service announcement entitled "Real men don't buy children. They don't buy sex."
"You hear of sex trafficking overseas, but you never imagine it is happening in the United States or you own home area."
