WASHINGTON — More than five dozen child prostitutes have been found as part of a three-day nationwide crackdown on the sexual exploitation of children, the FBI said.

FBI spokesman Jason Pack said Monday that 69 children were removed from prostitution and 99 suspected pimps were arrested in 40 cities across 30 states and the District of Columbia. Authorities arrested 785 other adults on a variety state and local charges, Pack said.

All the children found were placed into protective custody or returned to their families.

The children were found during Operation Cross Country V, a three-day roundup targeting child traffickers and pimps. The largest group of child prostitutes, 24, was found in and around Seattle, according to the FBI.

FBI executive assistant director Shawn Henry said the children found ranged in age from 12 to 17. Authorities are working with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children to confirm their identities.

In my world, every single pimp would have been shot and killed on sight

They will attend finishing school to compare notes and lift weights for a few years. When they get out, they will take positions as seasoned leaders of the enlarged gangs fortified by the tens of thousands more Somalians brought over every year.

I too saw a documentary on child prostitutes/runaways and many of them were from decent families with parents that tried to instill some discipline and impose reasonable restrictions. The kids didn’t want to live under their parents rules and have anybody tell them what to do. We all know you can’t say No! to a kid nowadays for fear of stifling their “genius” - or being charged with abuse.

A lot of these social engineers have a lot to answer for.

Are you kidding? With all forms of media pushing sex as well as the educational systems, sex is on the front burner of everything visual...and you are surprised at the demand of? Not to mention all the perversion mentioned in the news and the latest homosexual rant over the rights they demand.

Our nation is sexually stimulated at every turn and now with all the foreign immigrants who see the US as a melting pot for sex...no one should be surprised. ReallY.

Probably not even that - some will get a slap on the wrist and probation, some a mere fine.

I’m willing to bet that most of these are done by people who took advantage of this country’s great hospitality and came waltzing in.

I read a story that I posted on FB that there are kids who make friends with some older guys and then get caught up with being forced into prostitution. If they don’t go along they are threatened to be killed or beat up or their family is threatened to be killed. That’s here in this country!

The Everett-Seattle-Tacoma region had the largest number of children rescued for the third year in a row, The Seattle Times reported.

"Some of them are very young — 14, 15 years old," Steven Dean, assistant special-agent-in-charge of the FBI's field office in Seattle, told the newspaper.
