Reply #176: There's more to the story than whether or not Gannon = Gosch. [View All]

Even if you were to interview Ms. Gosch about her sons disappearance you'd have a story worth telling. Children are sold into sexual slavery in this country every year, and supposedly Johnny Gosch is one of these children. Sadly, this "story" is largely ignored by major media. After all, it's too frickin awful for anyone to talk about, so we simply don't. And, if we don't have a dialog in this country and elsewhere, what incentive is there to really effect change?

"Global crimes need a local response. Those who are sexual predators have no boundaries and everyone must do all they can to combat the victimization of the most vulnerable in society, our children. Police need the information to act. Creating awareness of the issues and exposing those who exploit children will go a long way to deterring these international criminals." ~ Staff Inspector Gary Ellis, Unit Commander of the Toronto Police Sex Crimes Unit.

So you see, YOU can help create awareness regardless of whether or not Gannon = Gosch. This is the major reason I think this discussion should be had - and the story told.

I googled child sex slavery, here are links with various information.

Also, read the links here, pretty disturbing stuff:

I for one am glad this story is still alive. And, if Gannon is not Gosch, and he's likely not, I'm glad he's aiding in the "discussion" no matter.
