Frontline carried a program earlier in the week on trafficking young women in Eastern Europe. It was horrifying.

Saw the same program. Horrifying is the right word, along with heartbreaking. The husband looking for his kidnapped wife in Turkey? Damn.

As a father of two small girls and a husband, these types of reports fill me with fear.

May God protect us from these demons.

Two major things struck me about the program (I had lots of emotions and reactions all told):

1) The hard look of the women who were kidnapped and trafficked. Katia looked like a sweet, carefree girl on the picture her husband carried around in his phone. She looked anything but when she returned. Just hard. And horribly unhappy. But the hardness really got to me. Same thing with the woman with all the siblings--Tania? She obviously had a very tender heart, but her face looked so hard.

2) I was very impressed with the determination of the husband to retrieve his wife, knowing that she was pregnant and being repeatedly raped. What a stress for a marriage. She looked so unhappy on her return. I hope that their marriage survives.
