LONDON Save the Children UK says in a report released Tuesday that it has uncovered evidence of widespread sexual abuse of children at the hands of peacekeepers and international aid workers in war zones and disaster areas. The report said more than half the children interviewed knew of cases of coerced sex and improper sexual touching and that in many instances children knew of 10 or more such incidents carried out by aid workers or peacekeepers. In some cases, children as young as 6 years old were abused, the report said.

Most of the people who work in these jobs are pretty liberal. Any connection? I think so.

Maybe..... after all the whole Liberal Agenda seems to be: “If it feels good to you, do it. To hell with Morality!” Makes me sick.

No mention if this was mostly boys or girls..hmmmm. Not many details in this. Vague 'workers'..vague ‘children’...vague 'countries'.

Yep, and don’t hold your breath waiting for it to get the airplay that Abu-Grahib did (which was much less of a crime).

Honestly I think they are afraid to GET specific. Because quite frankly if I came upon someone sexually abusing a child, I would end up in jail and the molester taking a long dirt nap. Thats just how I feel about those that abuse children, and the jail time would be worth it. That this is coming through agencies sent in positions of power with control over life and death issues like food and medical care is utterly abhorrent. If they got specific the back lash might be catastrophic and violent. I am certain that I am not the only one who feels like this.

I’m sure the liberals and leftists, who worship the U.N. without questioning anything it does, will be all over this.

I think they leave it vague so people will deduct that it's their favorite villains doing all this...and yes people do get angry over these things. More divisiveness and biased propaganda from our friendly “united” nations and the associated press/mess.

I actually tried it once until the wife told me to stop screwing around and get ready for dinner with the in-laws...

The study is based on research, confidential interviews and focus groups conducted last year in three places with a substantial international aid presence: southern Sudan, Haiti, and Ivory Coast. The group said it did not produce comprehensive statistics about the scale of abuse but did gather enough information to prove that the problem is severe.Huh? You really have to wonder about this. I know things like this happen and a dirtnap would be in order. But make dang sure the person who will be dirtnapping actually did what they are accused of.

Right on. Witch hunts are not dead. If someone wants someone else's property or wants them out of the way then child molestation accusations are the perfect instrument it seems.
I had a retard accusing me of such activity. I still see him occasionally and he usually is accompanied by very young girls. I am not sure how young they really are, but you get the picture. On the other hand I prefer older women and my ex-wife is older than me by about a year. It occurs to me that if I was a pedophile then I would want as many innocent people caught up in the dragnet of pedophilia. This furthers their agenda.
