-Caveat Lector- Dear list, Below please find an excerpt and the url for this. Sincerely, Neil Brick Study: 300,000 U.S. kids in sex trade - Msnbc Staff And Wire Reports - 9/10/01 "Child sexual exploitation is the most hidden form of child abuse in the U.S. and North America today. It is the nation's least recognized epidemic," Richard Estes, a University of Pennsylvania professor of social work and co-author of the report, said in a statement announcing the study. Based on field research, interviews and surveys from 288 federal and local agencies, the study estimated that 300,000 to 400,000 children in America were victims of sexual exploitation each year. That's 1 of every 100 children in the country. http://www.msnbc.com/news/626321.asp The Commercial Sexual Exploitation of Children in the U.
