Just an interesting little note for those who insist that we should not buy the products of those slaving away in sweatshops.
Under the neon-lights of Pattaya, the Thai town renowned for its sex industry, boys and girls as young as seven try to sell flowers to western tourists.
Some will end up selling their bodies.
"These kids start by selling sweets to tourists who aren't interested, so they use sexual tactics like holding arms or legs," said Sudjai Nakphain of World Vision, who works on a project for children in Pattaya.
"While some kind adults just give them money, others exploit those selling tactics and many kids, who have already been sexually abused by their families, end up selling sex," she said.
Isn't hand stitching footballs or making t-shirts better than that?
