Just more confirmation of what I already think of the UN. But really, I thought that my Priests were supposed to be doing this.....isn't that the usual stance of the MSM? Guess this story just had gotten out too much to be ignored:
From: The New York Times (gasp!)
LONDON, May 8 — Liberian girls as young as 8 are being sexually exploited by United Nations peacekeepers, aid workers and teachers in return for food, small favors and even rides in trucks, according to a new report from Save the Children U.K.
The report said the problem was widespread throughout Liberia, a small country struggling to get back on its feet after a long and bloody civil war.
Save the Children based its findings on interviews with more than 300 people in camps for displaced people and in neighborhoods whose residents have returned after being driven away by war. They said men in positions of authority — aid workers and soldiers, government employees and officials in the camps — were abusing girls.

Please read the rest, though I'm sure that this story is getting out all over the place online by now. But I rather like linking the NYT stories due to their usual leanings and analysis. HA.
