WikiLeaks: Foster Care Children in Ireland Used as Sex Slaves

For at least the past few years, children in Ireland’s government-run foster-care system have been disappearing, only to be found later working as sex slaves in brothels or private homes. And incredibly, the Irish government has not even been keeping statistics on the number of cases. The revelations, based on leaked U.S. diplomatic cables, were made public in early June by the Irish Independent. The explosive documents from the American embassy in Dublin were handed to the newspaper by the whistle-blowing organization WikiLeaks.
