I know how to stop the abuse of children. I would remove part of the anatomy of the offender, done.

I totally agree with that statement, but what would you do if the offender was a woman.

Hi! I was reading this article about Thailand Sex Laws--it said something about Thailand not currently doing anything policy-wise about child prostition.. anyone know anything else?

"Child sexual exploitation provides a particularly clear view into wider trends of sex crimes taking place in Thailand today. From many Southeast Asian countries and Thailand’s rural areas, young boys and girls are taken to large Thai cities to be sexually exploited. According to an ECPAT report—a leading NGO working to stop the sexual exploitation of children—government policies discriminating against hill tribe children from Thailand’s northern provinces make them particularly vulnerable to internal trafficking.1 With less access to education and citizenship rights, poverty levels are high and employment opportunities are few. That said, the majority of trafficked children in Thailand come from Burma, Laos, China and Cambodia. Data collected by the Thai National Commission on Women's Affairs in 2000 indicated that there are up to 40,000 underage girls alone engaged in commercial sex work in Thailand. Ten years later, the number of sexually exploited children in Thailand remains precariously high.

Since 1994, Thailand’s Ministry of Social Development and Human Security has successfully led a National Plan of Action (NPA) to combat the trafficking of children and women. Working closely with government ministers, NGOs, local law enforcement, and even neighboring countries, the NPA has been highly successful in reducing the number of human trafficking victims in Thailand.

In 2006, Thailand’s Ministry of Tourism began developing an NPA to fight the sexual exploitation of children, modeled on the success of the human trafficking NPA. The proposed NPA intended to coordinate the efforts of various Thai ministries, NGOs, and law enforcement agencies while creating unified protocols for the protection and care of children. This process came to an abrupt end following the 2006 military coup against then Prime Minster Thaksin Shinawatra."
