It gets worse

First a footnote: the Baghlan case IS true trafficking. A First World AG giving blowjobs in mall parking lots or gas stations on an interstate is NOT trafficking. A Thai LG working in a brothel in a pleasure business district is NOT trafficking. A smuggled female illegal alien is NOT trafficking. The conflation as "trafficking" of everyone the do-gooders want to do-good on, with cases like the Baghlan case, is intentionally dishonest and does not help anyone but themselves. While we're at it, I will point out that I doubt Trafficking Crusaders are doing anything about the Baghlan girl - and that under the Taliban (and she was born, by her age, shortly before or shortly after their original takeover) this would not have happened. The Taliban could be brutal, but hypocrites they weren't.

Now to the point:

All of those happened, of course, in backward, third world, fundie, brown people countries.

But in our very own developed, powerful, tolerant, post-whatever America, it seems there is a new fashion parents have for having their kids bound with duct tape, photographing them like that and posting the pics on Facebook. Near-identical cases from Chicago and Arizona are making the rounds now. It seems a bit ironic to me that bound with duct tape is considered a crime when spanking is not, given the comparative pain and actual danger, but of course, it could be said to be abusive - and is, in that in both cases it was not done as a game, but as an explicit punishment. But hey, AT LEAST THEY WEREN'T RAPED!!!!!!!!11111

I am actually a little surprised nobody has posted it here.

With all the details I've given, a search is trivial. I cannot link because every news piece I have seen has the pics illustrating, and the pics themselves are COPINE 10a in the KP scale.

[Pictures showing a child being tied, bound, beaten, whipped or otherwise subject to something that implies pain.]

Of course, since "AT LEAST THEY WEREN'T RAPED", I seriously doubt any KP charges will be brought to court, despite being the charges that would be most likely to get a conviction, and the charges whose sentence would be the longest, unlike any unimportant "child endangerment".
