I know I sound like a broken record, but seriously... just shoot a few of these slimeballs on the spot and I guarantee you other slimeballs will think twice about trying it.

As much as I'd like to agree with you, I doubt it would deter people like this much. That having been said, shooting them in the gut does sound good.

Unfortunately the governments in countries like this don't seem to have the resources to deter and stop well funded traffickers.

f**king monsters! if a human being has no compassion or sympathy or desire to nurture lost children, then they have no humanity. they are nothing more than animals, and it should be justifiable to hunt and kill them to "cull the herd."

(or maybe just put them away for the rest of their lives...i'm not too big into killing people...i mostly just wish they would off themselves and spare us the trouble)

I say they give it a try... Shoot a few of these bottomfeeders in the street so they die a fairly painful death (nothing easy like a head-shot) and I think the cowards who would do this stuff will think twice. If it causes enough hesitation to save one child, it'd be worth it.

.... more slaves today than at any other point in our history....

Very sadly, this doesn't surprise me :(
