AP: FBI, Police Rescue Child Prostitutes Around U.S.

Important story making the rounds in today's news. Operation Cross Country continues to net some large underage trafficking rings. Some of the girls rescued were as young as 13, in cities across the nation. You can read it here.

The most significant part of the story, I think, is the note that historically the feds weren't involved in prostitution cases, but they are getting more involved in order to rescue children ensnared in "the business." I'm glad to see our government taking a more active interest, and role, in identifying this problem and taking steps to do something about it.
