IN THE TSUNAMI AFTERMATH...

The UN has confirmed attempts by child slave traders to prey on children. From the Guardian, Guards to protect tsunami orphans from child traffickers.
The UN's children's agency, Unicef, warned that the disaster was the "perfect opportunity" for traffickers in Indonesia to sell youngsters into forced labour or sexual slavery in wealthy neighbouring countries such as Malaysia and Singapore.
Evangelical Outpost, who brought this horrible development to my attention, blogs more on Slavery in the 21st Century.
