WASHINGTON - Hundreds of people have been arrested and 21 children rescued in what the FBI is calling a five-day roundup of networks of pimps who force children into prostitution.

The Justice Department says it targeted 16 cities as part of its "Operation Cross Country" that caps off five years of similar stings nationwide.

Many of the children forced into prostitution are either runaways or what authorities call "thrown-aways" — kids whose families have shunned them. Officials say they are preyed upon by organized networks of pimps who lure them in with shelter or drugs, then often beat, starve or otherwise abuse them until the children agree to work the streets.

"We together have no higher calling than to protect our children and to safeguard their innocence," FBI Director Robert Mueller said Wednesday. "Yet the sex trafficking of children remains one of the most violent and unforgivable crimes in this country."

In all, authorities arrested 345 people — including 290 adult prostitutes — during the operation that ended this week. Since 2003, 308 pimps and hookers have been convicted in state and federal courts of forcing youngsters into prostitution, and 433 child victims have been rescued, Mueller said.

The cities targeted in this week's sting are: Atlanta; Boston; Dallas; Detroit; Houston; Las Vegas; Los Angeles; Miami; Montgomery County, Md.; Oakland, Calif.; Phoenix; Reno, Nev.; Sacramento, Calif.; Tampa; Toledo, Ohio and Washington.

The problem of child prostitution has taken on a new urgency in recent years with the growth of online networks where pimps advertise the youngsters to clients. The FBI generally investigates child prostitution cases that cross state lines.

The cases aren't easy to convict.

In April 2006, for example, charges against a Nevada man resulted in a hung jury after his 14-year-old victim refused to testify against him. Months later, however, a second jury found Juan Rico Doss of Reno, Nev., guilty of forcing two girls — ages 14 and 16 — to sell sex in Los Angeles, Sacramento, San Francisco and Oakland.

A University of Pennsylvania study estimates nearly 300,000 children in the United States are at risk of being sexually exploited for commercial uses — "most of them runaways or thrown-aways," said Ernie Allen, president of the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.

"These kids are victims. This is 21st century slavery," Allen said. "They lack the ability to walk away."

He recognises the difference between wees and poos, and comes to me to tell me to change his nappy now after he has done a poo.

 I went shopping last night to buy him a potty, but apparently there must be some world wide potty shortage because every shop I bloody looked in was sold out.

I still have the old toilet seat with the steps and handles that I used for my elder two, when I toilet trained them, but I'd still like to have a potty to sit him on for when hes watching a movie, as Ive found this is a good way to start toilet training off in a fun way without them getting scared.

Oh well I'll just have to try again next week and get one.

Anyway, his nappy is about to come off now and he is about to wear his first pair of big boy undies. How exciting. Im expecting lots of accidents but its all in the name of learning so I dont mind so much. My boyfriend fixed my carpet cleaner for me so now if he wees on the carpet I can easily clean it up with out a fuss.

How exciting! Stay tuned to see how he goes.

anyway hows this. Before I had even gotten out of bed this morning, Jaryd my 4yo was already up and out of bed and tidying up his room. Aside from some pencil shavings on the floor (Nathen decided to sharpen his pencils on the carpet grrrr) the room was absolutely spotless. I was gobsmacked. He did it without asking, and literally 5mins after he had woken up!

THEN as if that wasnt enough, Nathen saw Jaryd getting a reward for his efforts, and he goes Mum I dont want to go to school today I want to stay home and clean the whole house up. (The house was messy this morning because I went late night shopping yesterday and was out all day during the day so didnt get time to clean it because by the time Id finished shopping I was exhausted and went straight to bed.)

Anyway I told Nathen that he had to go to school and that the house would already be clean before he gets home because I have someone coming over today and I cant stand to leave the house messy a minute longer anyway so he goes ok tonight then when X messes up the house I'll clean it. I told him how about you put the dishes away for me instead when you get home from school and we'll call it quits. You should have seen the size of the smile on his face. Ive never seen my kids this eager to please! Lmao!!

Something in the back of my head is telling me to enjoy it while it lasts coz the novelty will wear off soon so Im making the most of it now lol.

Come on kids! Time to clean the loungeroom up! (Muahahahahah!)

So imagine my surprise this morning when I got a private message this morning when the admin of his website tells me that they are going to print off my message that I wrote to him, and a photo of X (because he is Xavier Rudd's first namesake) and they are going to give it to him in a book they are making for his 30th bday.

How exciting!!!!

For those of you that dont know who he is, he is a one man band, a barefoot pot smoking hippy, that loves Australia and all that is in it. He is the most gentle kind hearted soul Ive ever laid eyes on, and his music is hypnotic. Here's his Messages video.

GOD DAMN IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AND MEN ARE FUCKING BASTARDS!!!!!  

And the photo on my licence actually turned out really good for once! Lmfao. Yaaaay happy Mony I can drive 10km faster on the freeway now. Yew!

As most of you know, Im always looking for new ways to make money online. This site I just found is a site that pays you to blog. Its so cool! You get paid $20 to sign up, you can earn money for referring friends, and you can either blog about something you want to, or pick a topic from a list and earn a set amount of money for it. Im doing a blog soon that if it gets published will be worth $135. Easy money huh! You can join by clicking here and selecting the purple box.

Well last night I finally got that chance. After an extremely busy day, we made a mountain of pillows on my bed, and all laid down and watched tv together having a huuuuuge family cuddle it was bliss. They all fell asleep in my arms and then I put them off to bed. Nathen my 6yr old really got alot out of it as we havent had a cuddle for a while so i was really nice. Now that hes getting older Im finding he doesnt like to cuddle as much anymore, but last night he was all cuddles. It was lovely :) I wish times could be like that all the time.

RUDE!!!!  And they didnt even tell me! Apparently because Im not locked into a contract and I can terminate at any time, they can do that. So watch out for that people if you have a provider like mine. Sneaky sneaky sneaky!

Sorry to be a pain in the arse but can u lot please go and vote it out AGAIN? This is a really shitty start to my day.

End of rant.

Phew! I dont know where all these ideas have come from, they just spring up out of nowhere, and I cant stop writing til its finished! Im really enjoying all the research Ive done with it, Ive learnt so much lol. Dont ya just love it when something takes over you and youve gotta go for it and spit it out before you forget? Ahhhhh Jaryd wont shut up so I cant really concentrate right now but damn I was on a roll.
