You are right, Carleton will never have closure. His drive comes from that and his guilt keeps him going.
-
We are on the same wave path, or someone is whispering in your ear, or mine
-
I think what bothers Carleton the most is not knowing his name.
-
I agree, he knew too much to not have been a street boy
-
Yes, I agree there was that knowledge that Alex had and it didn't come from reading a book

We taxied to meet Peter and to go through customs. I had the passports ready. The customs officer was new. He looked at the boys, checked their passports, and asked us to wait. I saw him make a phone call, but one of the men who knew what was happening came before he was finished. They talked, the officer came back with our passports, “Welcome home.” Peter had what luggage we had stowed. He opened the back door, the boys climbed in, and Vasily and I sat upfront. Peter drove, Vasily snuggles

We like to think there is a justice in this world that these men must face, but that isn';tc true as as there are corrupt men in a position of power. Eye to eye justice doesn't always work, In some cases it makes the culprits that more determined.

Yes, he's going to win the hearts of them all.

Yes, they all have a common background and now a savior

There are times when animals show more care and love to their offspring then humans. The lure of money, is truly the root of all evil.

When I first decided to write this story it was based on a young man I met when I was in Europe, He worked for me and in our casual talk, he told me was thrown out of his home when he was 13, He came from London, when I asked him how he survive he told me an old man took him in. I am aware of two other societies that sell their children, India and The Phillipines. India I had seen this when I visited there, the Philippines through a young man I met in Holland.This is a major world problem, people selling children to live, having children when they don;'t have birth control. A sad commentary on humanity. This story is to make people aware that there are still, and sadly probably will always be,. children on the streets that need our help.

I sat down in my seat. Alex brought the child on board. What is it about these children, blue eyes, blond hair, there must have been some Nordic ancestors to impart these characteristics? The child was scared, probably remembering he was going to be sold. He was frightened. He seemed to relax as the other boys came on board. Alex handed me the folder, passports, papers, and some background on each child. Jimmy asked the boys to buckle up as he demonstrated. I saw the boys reach for their bel

The base was located in Germany. I'm sure if a high ranking person asked for help it would be given.
-
It is a crime. But as long as there are men who will pay for this depraved act, there will be someone to supply them.

I would guess that you have been in Brussels. There was a restaurant that also had live fish that you could order for dinner. I thought thatsome restaurants had one disadvantage, they allowed dogs in and actually had a meal for them. Do you like esc argot? There was a restaurant around the corner from my hotel that served them in a broth. And yes to t=your comment, that is human trafficking, of the worst kind, utilizing children
-
Thanks, maybe that is because I am emotional, to a degree, when I write these stories. I have seen way too much as I traveled,
-
It is a crime but how do you control greed, that is what motivates these people who see a chance to make money selling kids.
-
You are right. Not everyone is in the financial position to do what Carleton is doing. But you can help, by giving to organizations that do provide for these kids.

It is difficult to understand the joy these type of people get. they want to feel superior to you and others, but rest in the thought that they, deep down, actually envy you. When someone see's a behavior that wished they had, they revert to the opposite. Why? I don't know.. I saw a lot of bullies who had a low opinion of themselves use their bullying to gain respect and admiration, the problem is that never had it. We have a president who is a bully and now he must deal with an overwhelming loss, he can't handle it so he resort to bullying and trying to put people down. He is.aa sad and lonely man. I appreciate your comments, I respect your openness and your honesty. Bless you.
-
Most are saddest. They enjoy their mastery over other people. Probably a bully when they were younger. There are a lot of sick people in this world.
-
Have you read this story before somewhere.
-
Why do people think width and not height. I think Carleton has a plan. Stay tuned

The flight to The Hague was uneventful. I went to the hotel and took a nap. I woke to the knocking on my door. There was Alex with a cup of coffee. “Good morning. I figured you would need this, if not now, later.” “What’s the plan?” “Would it be possible to leave later at night rather than in the morning?” “It will depend on the pilots. They need to get at least 8 hours of sleep before flying. But why the change?” “You are in danger. They have figured out that the boys are be

Maybe you are and then maybe not. A Babe Ruth might just reach you. So be ready
