Nor should a minority be blamed for the actions of a few in it. But a state that decides to ignore slavery should be castigated.

Selling children = slavery.

Turning a blind eye to human trafficking is about as low as you can go. It is a form of human slavery. To suggest a VAT on it would mean that the EU approves of child slavery. The response from the world should be the same as to South Africas apartheid government, any state or group that actively engages in helping such a situation should have all trade ties cut off.

As for the current situation the ones doing the buying should be treated with extreme prejudice and have far worse treatment then an ivory buyer or endangered animal buyer. The demand needs to be cut off.

As for the supply, womens education has the strongest link with lowering the amount of children a woman has. So yes to join the EU a country should show that it has the education infrastructure to keep up in the modern world. Otherwise you are just shackling the growth of the economic sector.

The gang members should be treated on par with terrorists and executed as such. The buyers should be treated on par with finaciers of terrorism as such it should be a hefty long sentence. The parents should be imprisoned until their child reaches 18, parity for giving them a childhood as a slave/white good.

As for the children they should be looked after by the state as the state failed them in the first instance by not protecting them. A state is a recipricol arrangement, as a child you do not get alot of the rights of an adult nor the responsibilites. These are held in trust by your parents and if the parents fail the state needs to take action.
