Good morning Muffy,

Hope all is well. I'm Getting more edumacated each and every day trying to make a difference.

All is well here, especially with the guilty verdicts in Jerry Sandusky's Case.  I'm still holding hope Natalee can be brought home and there will be justice for her and for Stephany. 

I learn something new every day!  And you know, I believe if each person tries to make even a bit of difference, the world will be a better place.  JMHO  Keep on keeping on KTF!!

‘Tackle human trafficking on Curaçao’         

WEDNESDAY, 20 JUNE 2012 11:24

WILLEMSTAD — Curaçao must take a firm line in combating human trafficking and offering victims sufficient protection. “These require a vigorous approach.” This appears from the recent report from the American Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Curaçao has now been placed on the TIER 2 list along with the Dominican Republic and Costa Rica. Last year, Curaçao had even been put on the TIER 2-watchlist.Curaçao can be considered a destination for females, men and perhaps even children who are forced into prostitution or labor. According to the auditors, ‘there are indications that child prostitution is a problem’. However, this cannot be substantiated by facts or figures. The recruitment procedure for the females from the tolerated Campo Alegre is also vague, according to the authors.

Pay off a debt

The local authorities also think migrants are sometimes forced to do housekeeping, to work in the construction sector, lay out gardens or work in shops. Migrants working in restaurants and local shops are more vulnerable because in many cases they have to pay off a debt. Victims of human trafficking come from Columbia, the Dominican Republic, Haiti and Asia (India and China, (editorial office)).

Although the country does its best, it fails to comply with the minimum requirements to ban human trafficking. Last year the new penal code with severe punishments for human trafficking was adopted. However, there’d been no criminal cases to prosecute the perpetrators of human trafficking, unlike in 2010.

The US argue for a vigorous and transparent approach of human trafficking so victims actually dare to report to social workers. This means pro-active guidelines for those working in this sector – from public health workers to officials – who are to recognize the signs of human trafficking and identify the victims. However, as no courses were given for these sectors the past year, no victims of human trafficking were identified, according to the authors.

Besides a large-scale, multilingual awareness campaign, a Spanish social worker and more (health) inspections for instance at Campo Alegre, the auditors believe that perpetrators of human trafficking – including accomplice officials – should be prosecuted.

The government protecting victims of human trafficking is considered ‘weak’. In 2010, four victims of human trafficking were reported, compared to sixteen in 2009. There were no reports last year. This is characteristic for the lack of knowledge to identify victims, according to the authors – despite the significant population of foreign females working as prostitute on Curaçao. Organizations in Columbia and Venezuela report on having supported victims of forced, sexual exploitation on the island. The secret women’s hostels on Curaçao hadn’t received any victims of human trafficking the past year. Nor is there any protection program for victims.

No observers

The initiatives of the past year, for example a multilingual campaign on forced prostitution or labor held with regard to the international Day against Human Trafficking, were deemed inadequate. There aren’t any observers/reporters to monitor the approach of human trafficking, according to the auditors. They concluded the paragraph on Curaçao by remarking that the government hasn’t identified the problem of child sex tourism to the island.

I stand with the girl, Natalee Holloway.

"I can look back over the past 10 years and there were no steps wasted, and there are no regrets,'' she said. "I did all I knew to do and I think that gives me greater peace now." "I've lived every parent's worst nightmare and I'm the parent that nobody wants to be," she said.

My last quote of the day pertains to the ability of monkey's to persevere through very trying times, and choosing to stay focused on the goal, which is JUSTICE!

"What you focus on determines what you miss."

Although times can be trying, we can lose patience from time to time, just continue to focus on what we are here for. Have they not always tried to deceive and attempt to take the focus off of what is most important, which is justice?

Aruba's economy depends on the tourists and the money that they spend on the island--a $10 levy?--not nice.

ITA. In all his pics, he looks the same and poses the same  flashing that gang sign.  LOL - pretty funny!!  He always has a very flat affect, like he's always zoned out or is perpetually depressed.  Maybe he's haunted by his memories of J2K and Natalee.

Never. It's hard to grow up when you drank and smoked your brain out. Is he a real gangsta or a fake one?
He's got the no hope / no soul look. Notches cut into his eyebrows. Calluses on the knuckles. A dog chain. He's probably a wanna be
that hangs around with real ones - and has had to fight his way out of some bad situations. Ain't nothing sadder than
a 33 year old deejay who looks like he is ready to join the AARP program. Trying so hard to make the chicks hot and
smelling like Bengay cream.
