Its easy said than done ! Corruptions is rampant in those regions of the world (where Child Sex Tourism is flourishing) among the law enforcement whose sole interest are to protect their own "pockets" than the children engaging in
illegal prostitution - the so called "legalize pimps". Unless their leaders
can commit themselves to stamp out corruptions - life goes on as normal. Also,its time that those so called "Johns"
engaging in child sex tourism should be
punished and jailed. If the tourists come to a country to engage in illegal activities - they should face the consequence.
