When I (Venetia Kerith) was in Cambodia researching human trafficking with my television co-producer Sarah Oosterveld, we were apalled to find children aged 3 or 4 years old carrying other minors whom were even younger i.e. infants, walking around the Cambodian border begging for money. What was even worse is that these children offered themselves for sex, particularly to men, especially oral sex just for enough money for food. I noticed several male Cambodians offering themselves. When I spoke to Cambodian officials I learnt that the children had been abducted or paid for by gangs. I asked about the NGO'S, apparently they were doing nothing and some even paid for the services themselves. I am petitioning for the government to allow for easier adoption rules that extricate them from harm.
