Sep 2002Shocking and heart-rending secret footage takes us into the heart of Cambodia's child sex trade. We see girls as young as ten offered for sex, and uncover a web of corruption that shows little remorse.Chanting 'yum yum', the slang for oral sex, girls clamour for attention in a back streets brothel. They are ten years old. "Cambodian men believe that having sex with virgins boosts their sexual appetite, their strength, their integrity," explains Mu Sochua, Minister for Women's Affairs. Sunremita was tricked by her mother into prostitution to make money for her sick relatives. But the proliferation of child prostitutes is down to more than just poverty -- rife corruption also compounds the problem. In Svey Pak, police storm a brothel. A few girls are collected, but pimps and owners are left in peace. "For every single hour that [the brothels] operate the police are paid to let them," states Sochua. Even when paedophiles are arrested, it seems easy to escape justice. Photos of padlocks locked around the genitals of a 13-year old boy clearly show sexual abuse. But the French national accused walked away from court free, despite photos and the testimony of ten boys. Pol Pot tried deliberately to destroy the family; greed and corruption will hopefully not finish the job.Produced by ABC AustraliaDistributed by Journeyman Pictures

This kind of terrible situations happening in many places in this world, including my homeland, Thailand. One main cause is that the government don't seriously concern of the problems. The authority involved with the problems takes bribe. That's why many vulnerable people have to suffer.By the way, I agree with Joepotiswad that some people in this video speak Vietnamese. Even though I don't understand both Vietnamese and Cambodian, I could recognize the differences.

Disgusting. This country acts terrible. I know they went through a lot with Pol Pot, but it's time they clean up their act. I went to Anker Wat and Pnom Phen and kids just acted awfully desperate and motivated for money. Little did I realize what all was going on, but it was apparent anyone from small kids to adults where beggin to do anything to get dollars.The rich in Cambodia are corrupt as they come and just take all, leaving the people to act in strange bizarre desperate ways.
