Bulgarian family prostitutes child on Greek island
A 15-year-old Bulgarian girl was forced to work as a prostitute on the Greek island of Crete, Greek daily kathimerini reported on May 26 2010.
Authorities in Iraklion detained the mother of the Bulgarian girl on May 25, who was allegedly made to work as a prostitute by her own family. In addition to her arrest, police also detained a 59-year-old man believed to have paid to have sex with the girl.
Police are looking for the girl’s father and the couple’s 26-year-old cousin. The cousin is believed to have encouraged the Bulgarian couple to come to move to Crete from Bulgaria.
Just four days ago, on May 21, police in the western French city of Bordeaux arrested nine Bulgarian parents who had prostituted their children.
Reportedly, all of them come from a village near the Bulgarian town of Pazarjik.
A total of 20 boys, aged 12 to 16, "worked" with clients from across France, the report said. The rates were from 150 euro upward. Allegedly, their parents sold the children, took the money and used them to build homes in Bulgaria, French authorities said.

Disgusting.
This is a wolrld wide problem and authorities MUST bring in very, very severe punishment for these crimes.
Children's innocence must never be compromised. Their lives cannot be taken away from them this way.
What horrible monsters can do this to children. Parents and "clients" alike. Lock them all up and throw away they key.
