HUMAN TRAFFICKING

   Epstein is accused of trafficking in young underage girls for sexual favors.  His little black book has the names of many notable and famous people with Bill Clinton among them.  His network reached to the four corners of the earth.  He smoozed the upper echelons of society and powerful people among the untouchables.  Sex was the name of the game. 

   I do not approve or condone anything Epstein did.  I do have a nagging question that begs for an answer:  Where were the parents of these underage girls?  Don’t they have some culpability?  Granted, the girls may have been runaways.  They may have been in situations  for easy enticement.  But, what was the home situation for these girls?  Why were they so easily recruited?  Were they kidnapped?  I can understand that once the girls were in the nest they may have been too scared to squeal or attempt to leave.

   This whole sordid thing is indicative of where our morals are today.  I don’t foresee much change for good, at least not in my lifetime.
