Interesting..
It’s horrible that pedophilia is rampant in certain countries more than others no one does anything to protect these children because they participate in these horrendous acts themselves is why No one really does anything about it and they proposition people who have no means of getting money to convince them to literally sell their children it is truly inhumane and Allah have mercy on your souls those of you that engage in this horrendous act.
