Washington (CNN) -- In what it called its largest crackdown to date on child prostitution, the FBI announced Monday that a nationwide operation over the weekend resulted in 150 arrests, with 105 children rescued.
Authorities said the operation, which took investigators to race tracks and truck stops, also targeted the use of social media sites for child prostitution activity.
Overall, the three-day undercover roundup Operation Cross Country took place in 76 cities and involved 230 law enforcement units, according to the FBI.

He said at a news conference that a prime environment for child prostitution is major sporting events such as the Super Bowl, where authorities had "multiple recovery of children" in the past.

I don’t get it. Are there really that many men who hire prostitutes? And child prostitutes????
If so, it’s very depressing. I know there is evil in the world, but I don’t understand this at all. How could anyone get pleasure from hurting and exploiting a child?
have you ever worked for any of these agencies?
I have
Showmanship sometimes costs people dearly
In all likelihood, so are the children. Human traffickers use promises of a better life in another country to lure people to use their services--the people think they are just getting help to cross the border. By the time they are sold into slavery and figure out what was really going on, it's too late.
Failure to enforce immigration laws is failure to stop human trafficking (aka slavery).
I wasn’t always this cynical, but I am now, and just because the media reports something that the government (or Wall st or the corporate world) says, is not something I necessarily and enthusiastically accept as the truth.
For instance a bi-partisan government that for over 35 years has not enforced existing immigration law is a big part of this problem, and they still refuse to admit it. The elites that push for immigration amnesty do not want it tainted by reality and truth. Propaganda and misinformation now runs rampant here just like in the Soviet Union.
Bears repeating.
How many are "upstanding citizen" principals, coaches, politicians, clergy, and...Boy Scout leaders??
If a tree falls in the forest and no one hears it, does it make a sound?
How many homosexuals were nabbed with underage male hustlers in runaway/drug/gay districts in Houston and San Francisco?
How many of these underage prostitutes were advertised in the corrupt Village Voice Media ads from coast to coast in “alternative newsweekly papers”?
Regardless, even one young woman returned to her family is a win. Also, at least ‘scratching the surface’ now and then may be a deterrent.
Somehow, somewhere, 0dumb0 & Holder have to be the root cause & main driving force behind this. If not, I will still blame them & hold them accountable for yet another despicable atrocity in their 5 1/2 yrs house of horrors so far.
A lot of them are children in the same sense that Trayvon Martin was a "child". I've seen many 14-15 year olds who are physically adult, though they're still kids. How many half-drunk conventioners or fans ask the age of the individual about to service them?
That don't make it right, but it 'splains it some. < /barroom vernacular >
Senator Martinez has the protective "D" after his title and name. Move along, nothing to see here.
That, of course is Senator Menendez. Sorry, Martinez, wherever you are!
I know. The whole thing makes me sick. Anyone who thinks prostitution is a victimless crime is delusional. It’s a horrible thing for these women and girls.
if a wife or a girlfriend has to worry that their beloved is going after CHILDREN, then there are far more problems than just infidelity...
you can almost bet that most of the victims are actually white girls, early teen years....most races go after white girls, or light brown or asian girls.....just from what I understand of the situation....and a goodly number of the pimps are black...
