4. SOCIETY
 Prostitution has been a way of life in Thailand from a long time
ago.
 Since it's a long tradition of youth helping out their parents
financially, which is encouraged by Buddhism, even if it's from
sex work.
 When a girl was born into a family, there would be a celebration
because the girl, especially if she is good-looking, will bring
wealth and prosperity to the family.
 Instead of thinking that it is morally wrong, they young girls think
only of gaining material comforts that their bodies can bring for
them and their family. Girls are taught they would be considered
a good child if she can repay her upbringing. Young girls see
successful prostitutes coming home with riches.
 Thai culture emphasizes that children should listen to their
parents and help their parents.

children and do not realize the lives their

even know that they have been deceived .
 They are mostly poor people from the rural
area such as northern region of Thai.

from 20 per cent to 27 per cent. Of every three child victims, two
are girls and one is a boy.

international borders every year and exploited for forced labor or commercial
sex (U.S. Government)

victims annually is in the range of 2 to 4 million

14. ELIXABETH FRITZL
THE DAUGHTER DUNGEON

15.  On that fateful day in 1984
Elisabeth Fritzl did as she was
told. She followed her father
into the basement. There he
handcuffed her, drugged her,
and kept her captive for 24
years. For 24 years, Josef Fritzl
vented his most monstrous
impulses on his own daughter;
over the course of which she
would bear him seven children.
For 24 years, he got away with
it. The torture took place just
feet from his wife Rosemarie,
just a few floors down from his
tenants; just down the street
from the butcher, the baker and
the post office.

19.  His father abandoned the family, and his
mother raised him on her own and with
an iron fist. She beat him until he bruised,
according to family members.
 In 1967, Fritzl seems to have been
convicted of a rape in the nearby city of
Linz, for which he spent a year and a half
in prison. Among its other soft points,
post-war Austrian law erases most crimes
from the record after 15 years. This meant
that, when Fritzl later adopted or fostered
three of Elisabeth's (and his own!)
children, there would be no record of his
having committed a sex crime. He was
also a suspect in two other assault cases
in the area during that time, and rumored
to indulge in indecent exposure. Later, it
would be alleged that he raped his wife's
sister. But none of this constituted
sufficient alert to the authorities of any
potential danger to the community or to
his own children.

20.  He dominated her just as he
would dominate their children
and grandchildren years later.
She was a submissive.
 Fritzl seems to have convinced
her without great effort that her
daughter was gone and that
there was nothing to be done.
Elisabeth's running away
proved a valuable plot point,
one that cunning Fritzl made
good use of.
 A few weeks later Fritzl handed
over to the police a letter from
their daughter stating that if
they tried to find her, she would
disappear for good.
 In later letters, Elisabeth,
writing at her father's
command, implied she had
joined a cult.
 While the investigation shows
that Fritzl acted alone in holding
his daughter and their children
captive, surely Elisabeth Fritzl
must find it hard to avoid
asking herself how it is that her
mother was blind to her torture.

22.  In April of 2008, Elisabeth's eldest
captive child, the 19-year old
Kerstin, became gravely ill. She had
long been suffering
 Elisabeth begged Fritzl to take the
girl to the hospital. Shockingly, he
relented. Whether out of actual
tenderness, or out of fear of what
might happen if the girl died, Fritzl
agreed that the girl needed
immediate medical attention. For
the first time in her life, she went
outside and was touched by the air
and sun.
 Doctors struggled to assess what
was wrong with Kerstin—and they
made a widely publicized plea
begging Elisabeth to meet to talk
with them about Kerstin's medical
history, prompting the police to
reopen the case on her
disappearance. Fritzl once again
produced a letter from Elisabeth to
try to reassure them, once again
postmarking it from another town
 They saw Elisabeth's arrival as
suspicious and called the police.
Investigators questioned Fritzl and
Elisabeth separately. Once she was
promised that her family would be
safe and they would not have to see
Josef Fritzl again, Elisabeth told
police the whole horrible story
behind her captivity and abuse.
