THAILAND: Children trafficked to sell flowers and beg

THAILAND: Children trafficked to sell flowers and beg:
PAK KRED, 4 June 2012 (IRIN) - In an impoverished town in Thailand, a trafficker offered a desperate woman living near the Burmese border US$160 on the spot, followed by an additional $120 per month for two of her 10 children to sell flowers in the Thai capital, Bangkok. The rent-a-child deal was to last three months, after which the boys would return home to their widowed Burmese mother.
