retribution has been slow in coming, but it has overtaken you at last.

This is a good thing.

Hundreds of people have been arrested and 21 children rescued in what the FBI is calling a five-day roundup of networks of pimps who force children into prostitution…Many of the children forced into prostitution are either runaways or what authorities call “thrown-aways” — kids whose families have shunned them. Officials say they are preyed upon by organized networks of pimps who lure them in with shelter or drugs, then often beat, starve or otherwise abuse them until the children agree to work the streets.

Slavery no longer has force of law anywhere in the civilized world, but this sort of informal, extralegal slavery is flourishing worldwide. Modern slavery is among the most heinous of crimes, and should be vigorously opposed wherever it arises.
