Which of course ignores the fact that established policies are totaly incapable of dealing with this situation, but what the hell it's easy to find fault sitting in an armchair at home.

How would a thorough investigation be possible, when the community in question colludes to keep all facts secret? Just establishing parentage has proven to be near impossible.

The whole community is comditioned to protect the predatory elders, no matter what. No co-operation can be expected. So, before getting all weepy, I'd like to hear what the alternatives are to protect young girls and boys against forced marrieages and other abusive practices.

One possible outocme is that things will just revert to what they were before, and everyone will be happy NOT KNOWING.

Is that realy something to celebrate? Not in my book.

Have we learned nothing from Tom Clancy or Jack Bauer? Sometimes you have to ignore the rules to get things done! Cut thru all that red tape, beauracratic BS and "laws" that just gets in the way of real men and get 'er done. People, people! Have we learned nothing from Tom Clancy or Jack Bauer?
