We don't get Oprah direct here in Oz (probably about 6 months behind), but I'll put in my two cents worth, if you like:D

[Blunchie]

oh, it's irritating, We don't have Oprah in France !!

If after this show, somebody could make a summary of what the president of the International Justice Mission said, it will be really kind.

Thank you.

Thanks for the heads-up Karen. I'll set a tape to record Oprah tomorrow and watch it over the weekend.

[stanley.baum]

Will do. Thanks for the heads up.

As Blunchie said, we can't see it, but we'll think about it and will try to find solutions to stop humans trafficking.

Thanks Karen,
I tape Oprah everyday.. and in fact taped the movie Human Traffiking as well.
I took it to work so my friend could take it home to watch with her daughter and hopefully some friends.
The message is too powerful not to share.
Getting Oprah involved is a wonderful step in the right direction.

Thanks for the heads up.

Im watching it

[Karen Cliche]

just watched the show. my heart is still racing. it races everytime i hear the number of children affected by this. a lot of me gets angry beyond words, and i think vicious thoughts at those perpetraters, those enablers, but most of me is reserved for the unheard pain these kids go through, day in day out. let us remember our childhoods. sadly, a lot of you were also victims, but most of us spent our childhoods free and happy, ... why are some entitled to this luxury, and others forced into a nightmare? all i can say is that it isn't fair, and those of us who are free, NEED to help those who aren't. oprahs said on her website , there is information there on what you guys can do in the u.s. let' s do it!! let us strive to make it impossible for these monsters to keep abusing children! i will lend my voice here to lead you to some fantastic, hard working organizations that focus on these issues, and do a great job. they need our support and help!!

Tonight's Smallville touched on human traffiking a bit -- but only a bit -- the character Lois was was being forced aboard a helicopter to (what we assume) is Russia, to a man, by a diplomat, awarded with legal immunity, given a fake passport and everything. Just thought I'd mention it. I wish they took more time to explain what was really happening and that it was happening all over the world.

Ho my god...!! This children are always be able to smile after what that traffickers do, and after all what they steal them??
The rate of people who are exploit represents an entire population of a big city ô.Ô!!

Thank you for the informations, Karen!!
I promise to do more than what i can do now when i'll earn money!!
What's happen in our world isn't normal!! It musts stop è_é!!

Wow, for some odd reason I just saw this post now when I looked back at some of the old ones. Sorry I missed the show. I would have liked to watch it, especially since I was just so moved by the movie Human Trafficking. I'll try to be more observant on these posts. I really gotta get the internet at my house....
