Flashermac Posted May 27, 2008 Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 Children as young as six are being sexually abused by peacekeepers and aid workers, says a leading UK charity. Children in post-conflict areas are being abused by the very people drafted into such zones to help look after them, says Save the Children. After research in Ivory Coast, southern Sudan and Haiti, the charity proposed an international watchdog be set up. Save the Children said it had sacked three workers for breaching its codes, and called on others to do the same. The three men were all dismissed in the past year for having had sex with girls aged 17 - which the charity said was a sackable offence even though not illegal. The UN has said it welcomes the charity's report, which it will study closely. Save the Children says the most shocking aspect of child sex abuse is that most of it goes unreported and unpunished, with children too scared to speak out.

TheCorinthian Posted May 27, 2008 Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 It is not an excuse by a long shot but when you have over 200,000 people in an organization, you are going to have some sick'o's. They should just shoot them and the message will be clear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheCorinthian Posted May 27, 2008 Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 In packastan it is considered ok. You just have to say it is an "honor raping" or some other such crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bizarre thing is that you desire a future where everyone is forced to think like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The difference being they are all in jail likely getting raped themselves. Had they lived in "other places," it would have been glossed over as a right for god knows what reason.
